3D Effect

Week 3 - Tutorial 3 - The 3D Effect.

This week we looked at turning something 3D, in this case text. i opened a new blank page and added a orange and yellow gradiant, with orange down the bottom as the more dominant colour. I then added the new text layer and wrote my initials 'DK' and placed it in the middle top half of my file. I found the 'Repouse' option in the 3D section of the menu bar to change the settings. I then changed settings in this menu that came up. I changed it to inflate, changed the to depth to 0.3 and changed the sides to front and back. I also changed the strength of the inflate to 0.4. Finally I changed the lights for the scene settings to mardi gras which changed the colour of my text.


I then rendered the text using Chrome2 and duplicated the text, then multiplied the new layer. The other layer i flipped and pulled the opacity to a lower percentage so it would look like a shadow of the other text file when it was in place. with transform and perspective i positioned the vertically flipped text underneathe the other, then added a vignette effect to the whole image.
