About Celoxdesign

Celoxdesign is a webdesign community offering free high quality tutorials in several categories such as Adobe Photoshop, Maxon Cinema 4D, Cascading stylesheets and xHTML.
I drive myself to give all my knowledge back to the design community for free and will continue doing this for a long time.

Guest tutorials

A new added feature on Celoxdesign is the guest tutorials section, this section will house tutorials written by my guests/members, some of them are even better tutorials that I've written over the past years. Register yourself and submit your own guest tutorials to give something back to the design community.

Step 10:

Now we're really going to make the final touches of this text effect, it'll come to life real good, watch! Make a new layer on top of everything and go to Image > Apply Image to copy every layer we've made onto the newly created layer. Then give it a gaussian blur by going to Filter > Blur > Gaussian blur and give it a 5.2 pixel radius.



We're not done yet with this step, it was just the beginning! Go to Filter > Artistic > Plastic Wrap, and change the settings to:



Press OK



Now that looks a bit weird huh, well with a simple layer move we're going to turn it around completely. So Move this layer BELOW all your text layers but keep it on top of your original background. The layer we just made functions as our new background layer.

Now with ONLY moving this layer it will look like this:



We can say we're done with this step now

Step 11:

The last thing we have to do is sharpen everything, it will give us a far more better result then we have going now. Make a new layer on top of everything and "Apply image" (Image > Apply Image), then go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen.



And we're finished with this awesome 3D text effect!
