evank3 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 NOTE: This effect will come out different each time. Sometimes it will look great sometimes it will not look so great. This is a sample output: Step 1: Start with a blank document. I used 300x300 Step 2: Write the text wished to be written in blood. Step 3: Duplicate the layer. Step 4: Select the bottom layer and add a jitter to it. Step 5: Get rid of the jitter above the letters. Step 6: Add a motion blur to the jitter layer. Step 7: Add a motion blur to the text layer with less blur this time. I used 11 for distance. Step 8: Merge the layers together and add a gausian blur. And as always, here's a cool effect you can add on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evank3 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm working on a perfected version of this. But isn't blood blurry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I didn't really care for the blurriness, so I did without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evank3 Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 That looks pretty good. The only thing I don't like about it is that the blood looks behind the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 In steps 6 and 7, instead of using motion blur, I would recommend flattening the image, use the magic want to shift click a red area, then using Selection > Bevel which can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=16&t=26238 Using a lighter shade of red for the highlight color and a darker shade for the shadow color, you can really add some depth to the lettering.

Curmudgeon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Like BoltBait said, I used the Bevel Selection plugin to add depth to the blood drops, after using Jitter and Median And I intended mine to look like the text was in front, by using Bevel selection on the text layer as well. I didn't care for the way it looked with the blood coming right off the letters the first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
