[tutorial]3d text effect

[NeonMonkeys]

Hi! I was just messing around in photoshop (cs2, I dont like cs3 at all) and I found a way to add cool effects to text in about 5 minutes!

1) Open photoshop and make a new document.


2) Fill the whole window with black.


3) Pick the color you want your text to be, I chose a green that I usually use. (00a800)


4) Using whatever method you choose, make the text you want. I used the paint brush tool.


5) Go to Filter > Artistic > Neon Glow.


6) Apply the glow using these settings: Glow Size 5; Glow Brightness 16.


7) Go to Filter > Artistic > Plastic Wrap.


8) Apply the plastic wrap with these settings: Highlight Strength 15; Detail 9; Smoothness 7.


9) Post your results and/or feedback here :)
