How to create 3D three-dimensional text effects on PS?

Making 3D three-dimensional text effects in Photoshop mainly uses three methods: 1) Use 3D tools, 2) Layer styles, and 3) Manual drawing. First, when using the 3D tool, create a new document and enter text, select the text layer and select "New 3D Highlight Effect from Selection", and then adjust the rotation, zoom, and position. Secondly, adjust the Depth, Size, and Softening parameters through the Bevel and Emboss options in the layer style to simulate the 3D effect. Finally, manual drawing methods require more skill and time, but with complete control over the effects.

Making 3D three-dimensional text effects is both an art and a technical challenge in Photoshop. Let me answer this question first: I mainly use several methods to create 3D three-dimensional text effects in Photoshop, such as using 3D tools, layer styles, and manual drawing. Next, I will explain in detail how to use these methods to create amazing 3D three-dimensional text.

Photoshop's 3D function makes ordinary text come alive, just like jumping out of the screen. I remember when I first started to come into contact with this function, I tried various angles and light and shadow effects, and finally found that the key is to understand how the light source affects the three-dimensionality of the text. This is not only a technical job, but also a creative process. You can adjust unique effects based on your aesthetic and project needs.

First of all, we have to start with the basics. Make sure you are familiar with Photoshop's interface and basic operations, such as how to create new documents, use text tools, etc. If you are not familiar with these, you may need to take some time to learn these basic operations first.

Now, let's talk about how to use Photoshop's 3D tools to create three-dimensional text effects. Open Photoshop, create a new document, and use the text tool to enter the text you want. Select the text layer, click the "3D" option in the menu bar, and then select "New 3D Highlight Effect from Selection". This will turn your text into a 3D object. You can adjust the rotation, zoom and position of this 3D object to achieve the visual effect you want.

 # This code block is just an example and is not directly used to create 3D text effects import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
from mpl_toolkits.mplot3d import Axes3D

fig = plt.figure()
ax = fig.add_subplot(111, projection='3d')

# Suppose we have a simple 3D text effect coordinate data x = np.linspace(-1, 1, 100)
y = np.linspace(-1, 1, 100)
X, Y = np.meshgrid(x, y)
Z = np.sin(np.sqrt(X**2 Y**2))

ax.plot_surface(X, Y, Z, cmap='viridis')

plt.show()

In the process, I discovered a small trick: adjusting the light source position can greatly affect the final effect. Try adjusting the position and intensity of the light source in the 3D panel to see how the effect changes. In addition, the choice of material is also very important. You can choose metal, plastic or other materials to add a different texture to the text.

If you prefer manual control effects, you can achieve similar 3D effects through layer styles. Select the text layer, click the "Layer Style" button, and select "Bevel and Emboss". Here you can adjust parameters such as "Depth", "Size" and "Softten" to simulate 3D effects. Remember to try different settings more until you find the effect you like.

However, it is not always easy to make 3D three-dimensional text effects. I have encountered some challenges in practice, such as the jagged feeling at the edges of the text and the unnatural light and shadow effects. One way to solve these problems is to use Gaussian Blur to soften the edges, or adjust the Gloss option in Layer Style to optimize the light and shadow effect.

In terms of performance optimization, using 3D tools may make files huge and affect the software's response speed. To optimize performance, you can try to reduce the resolution of 3D objects, or rasterize the 3D objects after the effect is completed, which can reduce the file size and improve the software's response speed.

In general, creating 3D three-dimensional text effects in Photoshop is a creative process. You can keep trying different methods and techniques until you find the best effect for you. I hope these sharing can help you go further on the road to creating 3D three-dimensional text effects.
