3D Text 2

This tutorial shows you how to create this 3D text effect using photoshop..

Start a new document 600x600 with a black background.

Use your TYPE tool and create your text.

With your type tool still selected, click on the "Create warped Text" button to open the warp text box.

From the Warp text box, for style, select Bulge, and set your Bend to +50

Now duplicate the text layer, theres several ways to do this, one way is to right click on the layer (in the layer pallete) and select "Duplicate Layer".

We will work with this layer later, so sets hide it now, click on the "eye" icon on the layers pallette. now merge the bottom 2 layer together (Layer » Merge Visible), so your layers pallete should have something like the image on the left now.

 

Now apply: Filter » Distort » Polar Coordinates
Options: Polar to Rectangular

 

Now go to: Image » Rotate Canvas » 90CW

Then go to Filter » Stylize » Wind
Method: Wind, Direction: From the left

Now just press CTRL+F about 10 times. this will reapply the wind filter by 10 times.

Now rotate the image again.

Image » Rotate Canvas » 90CCW

Then the filter: Filter » Distort » Polar Coordinates
Options: Rectangular to Polar

Now you should have something similar to the left.

Now enable the top layer text you duplicated from the first step. Change its color to something you can see with.

Now apply this layer styles to the text layer.

Inner Shadow | Gradient Overlay | Stroke

Zee Jun/17/2010 17:37It actually inspired me for my logo design and I got my designer from LogoDesignPlanet.com to design a logo incorporating elements found from your tut. It came out better than expected as I thought it would be difficult to look strong and corporate but it looked really polished. Even my friends who were skeptics at first were blown away by how the logo design turned out. I got to thank you for posting this tut as I did show to my designer for reference to how I want it to look like. Thanks heaps!

GFXTut May/11/2010 15:53I didn't know photoshop could do this. And the outcome isnt to bad.
No thanks May/07/2010 04:03That "bulge" warping you do isn't what you have displayed. When you "bulge" text it puts an arch in the top and bottom of the text. What you have displayed is "Arc Upper" because the bottom of the text is still straight. I don't get how anyone hasn't caught this yet? When I apply the polar coordinates... it does nothing similar to what you have shown. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, I know that much. But the fact that the very first step has an error in it makes me think you could easily leave out some needed steps.
