djamoeba Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hey guys. I made this 3d text a couple months back using a tutorial from somewhere, but I didn't save the .PDN file, just a JPG version, and now I can't find the tutorial. Does anyone know how to make text look like this? I really, really appreciate the help. -Philip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
csm725 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Open canvas, new layer. Type your text. Magic Wand tool with Tolerance set to 31. Select anywhere outside of the text, holding the Shift key while you click. Invert the selection (Press Ctrl-I). Go to Effects > Selection > Bevel Selection. Customize Depth. Click OK. Deselect (Ctrl-D). That's it! Quote My deviantART | Sig Battles | My Tutorials | csm725.com Click to enter or vote in the official Paint.NET competitions!

djamoeba Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 Ok. So I tried Beveling, and it doesn't really look the same. Is there some other way to achieve this effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djamoeba Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 I just found the old files with which I made this picture and I figured out that I made it back when I had photoshop CS4. So if anyone knows how to recreate this kind of thing with paint.net that would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarkut Posted May 27, 2010 Share Posted May 27, 2010 Beautiful results on the text examples in the tutorial, Yellowman. I don't have that font, but made this using bevel selection in two layers at different settings. Text Example It looks similar to your sample. btw, what's the name of your font?
