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 yourBend 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.
