whebzy 1 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 (edited) I'm running an art thread on the Minecraft forums here and I really want to expand my knowledge so I can provide better stuff for my customers. I've been looking at other designers' threads lately and found another art thread showcasing a text effect like this: He has used Photoshop, but is there any way to achieve this kind of 3D text in Paint.NET?

pdnnoob 263 Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 Follow the tutorial, but don't use shape3D and place the zoom blur on the center of the text. That should get you started. If you need further instruction, I'll get back to you later.

That should get you started. If you need further instruction, I'll get back to you later. (I have to go to school now, so no time to type up a tutorial ) The zoom blur just doesn't quite cut it. Is there anything else I can do? Quote whebzy's Art Shop on the Minecraft Forums Link to post Share on other sites
yellowman 277 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 Try the Point Blur , it wasn't available when I wrote my tutorial. Duplicate the text layer and apply the point blur on the lower layer as desired. Quote My GalleryMy YouTube Channel "PDN Tutorials" Link to post Share on other sites
Ella 42 Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Thanks for pointing to Point Blur I didn´t know it was there, gotta try with that too. I tried the linked tutorial with zoom blur, set the transparency adjustment with Transparency plugin to maximum (slider to right side) and ran AA´s Assistant to get rid of jagged edges. That´s the quick result: Edited May 12, 2012 by Ella 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
