Final Product What You'll Be Creating
In today’s quick tip tutorial we will demonstrate how to create a
cinematic “Transfarmers” Text Effect using the layer styles. Let’s get
started!
Tutorial Assets
The following assets were used during the production of this tutorial.
Step 1
Make a new .PSD document, 1000 x 500 pixels, RGB color, 100 dpi and
grey background (color #33333). Create a new layer and fill it with
brushed metal pattern from tutorial assets section (any metal texture
will do though). Now using the Blending Options, fill this layer with a
Light Blue color and set the blending options to “Overlay”. Finally if
you want you can add a gradient that include several white and grey
tones, with a bright area in order to create a better effect for the
background.
Step 2
Now create the text using this font: Transformers Solid. Use these
settings: 70 pt – Anti-Alias: Sharp. Now rename this text: “3D”. Then go
in the menu Layer > Layer Styles > Blending Options and use these
settings:
Step 3
Duplicate the text and rename it “Base”. Right click on his layer and
click to “Clear Layer Style” or in the Styles Palette click on the
first style “Default style (None)” (It’s the same thing). Now move this
text slightly to the right in order to create a “pseudo 3D effect” with
the text below (Look the Step image). Then go in the menu Layer >
Layer Style > Blending Options and use these settings:
Step 4
Duplicate the text “Base”. Right click on his layer and click to
“Clear Layer Style”. In the Blending Options menu on the right set the
fill to 0%. Now and use these settings in the menu Layer > Layer
Style > Blending Options:
Step 5
Your text effect is almost completed. Now we have to create a text
reflection. Insert all 3 levels of the text effect in a group. Duplicate
this group. Right click on it and click to “Convert To Smart Object”.
Right click on it again and click to “Rasterize Layer”. Then go in menu
Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical. Now move it as the image shown
and then with the Eraser Tool delete as long as you want in order to
create a realistic reflection. Finally to make the text effect nicer I
added some sparks with simple brushes and color lights with soft
brushes.
Conclusion
Now your text effect is completed!
