Omais Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 Hello, I came across your knowledgeable site from google while I was searching the word's "3d text effect". I came across some images on google and I came across this thread as well. viewtopic.php?t=3866 I want to know what is being used? Photoshop? if so which version? I have adobe master collection cs3 extened. Do you have a program from Paintdotnet downloadable? This would really give me a boost in my professional life and future. I would love to make such amazing 3d text. I was following some steps from the tutorial but I hit a bump and got stuck at step three because on my toolbar, I could not find the "Draw filled shape" button. I would appreciate your help and be very greatful. Thank you for taking the time for reading this and hope I can get some help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Omais Posted November 5, 2008 Author Share Posted November 5, 2008 Thank you very much kind sir . EDIT - Well, I have downloaded the program, I love the way it's so complex. Maybe easy to some but for beginners very difficult. I can use some help with this from start to finish. I would like to ask the following questions. 1- How can I duplicate a layer without have the background follow around. I choose not to ask anymore right now because the littlest thing's are being a headache for me. I might ask questions once I can figure this out. Anyone think they can help?

Omais Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Actually, I wanted to know how to make a 3d text. That helped with the cutting but I do that with adobe fireworks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Well, this is a Paint.NET forum, so we usually refer people to Paint.NET tutorials. :-) Could you rephrase your question? I'm not sure I follow. And if you are having a specific problem with the 3D text tutorial, you should ask it in the thread for that tutorial. Thanks!

Omais Posted November 6, 2008 Author Share Posted November 6, 2008 Dave - The time I asked you this question, I had no knowledge in my brain of how to operate the program but I played around and got a good sense. Now following the step's is a real confusion, because when it says "Duplicate the layer and now add your own color", I do that BUT when I pick my own color there is no effect to the change. Rick - Thank you very much for your link. I appreciate very much sir. I did not get what I was looking for but I found some very intresting and eye catching tutorials. Edit - To be honest, I think it would be a lot more helpful if someone created a youtube tutorial explaining all the steps, from opening a blank document. Because there are some steps in the link I posted above where some steps might've been skipped. Any takers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake2k Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 Someone (srry I cant remember who)made this to help simplify that tut: http://eulogy-dignity.deviantart.com/art/Paint-NET-3D-Text-72816783 There's also a newer version of my 3d text tutorial in the tutorial section that produces a better result imo Quote ^Click to visit my Flickr Gallery^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
