jim100361 61 Report post Posted October 30, 2011 (edited) Thank you very much HELEN and Sand33P. @ jim100361 good result, for more smooth edges, check this video There was a question about an effect like this, and this 3D text is a result of the video: OK, so I went all out and combined a few things and created this (thanx for the 3D lettering tutorial): Utilizing another tutorial for the metal finish, once I had the plaque constructed, I then cleared the center, saved it as a .gif then imported it over the metal center that you now see, which was shaped using the alpha thingy (lol). It probably would've been a tad better if the dark bottom and light top were inverted to more closely coincide with the outline though.

delpart 15 Report post Posted December 12, 2011 Well, here is my take on the technique using a gradient kaleidoscope as the base image. Backdrop and drop shadows added to give it some additional definition as it is rather faint or too odd looking on a simpler backdrop. Also loses some of the 3D element as well without the shadow ... odd as that may seem. Click for larger: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
