Savage tutorial. The tip for the trees is excellent. I like how you turned something so basic into the finished product without much work. The 3d text with the pattern is nice.

Hey great tutorial, you've got a good understanding of PS. Did you get paid for writing this tutorial? If so, I've got to get into making some.

You might want to mention that you're starting this in Illustrator. I was a little lost there for a second.
Nice tut though!

Is that where the 3D options were? It confused the shit out of me. I thought he might of been using some fancey pants version of PS.

Hello everyone, thanks for the support! The method can be adapted with ease to your own style (such as adding bark).
@Eric: Thanks for pointing that out. I'm not sure how I missed that... Apologies.

@Matt:
I created the effect using Illustrator CS3. While having the type selected, go to Effect > 3D > Extrude and Bevel. I'm not sure which previous versions have or don't have this feature, as CS3 is the first version I have ever worked with.

@Augustus:
I understand it's difficult for you to tell me exactly what your problem is due to the language barrier. However, I'm not sure what it is that you're having trouble with. To be able to help, I'm going to need more specific info. Either way, here are a few general tips:
1. You need Illustrator to create the 3D text. 2. In Photoshop, select the magic wand tool (press W) and click inside the face of the letter. That will make a selection of 'face' of the text. Then just continue using the provided steps as a reference.

I am having the same issue and I'm not so novice. When I use the wand tool and place it inside the face it doesn't recognize the face alone but instead surrounds the whole entire object. Any ideas?

Make sure the Tolarence of the wand is really low. I used "1".

The 3D effects in your screen shot do not work with illustrator CS3. I tried your exact setting three times and got what appeared to be a giant blob on the page.

Hi there, I can't seem to get the gradient mapping to the actual 3d text working properly, when i apply it using alt+click it makes the text lose its 3D and it just looks like one big gradient blob, i was wondering if you knew if there was a difference between CS3 and CS4 as im currently using CS4 for both Photoshop and Illustrator. Any help is much appreciated. Matt
Matt
· 1 year ago
I fixed the problem, i did it in photoshop CS3 instead and i was presented with that Grayscale Gradient map dialog, in CS4 you press ok and it just goes to the main window with no option to edit the gradient, if anyone knows how to do this in CS4 it'd be nice to learn :)

just a question...if i want to use a stripe pattern how can i make the stripe to follow the direction of the shape?
This tutorial is amazing. I've been using photoshop for a few years now, and I have to admit that never would have thought of some of these techniques. Thanks so much for this tutorial!
That was just plain fun - thank you. I sort of had trouble with the branches using a Wacom tablet, but the I can tell just by playing with the brush settings we can get some great tree like shapes. With the wacom - it seems to understand pressure and fade and it sort of conflicts the results.

Really having trouble with the type in the very beginning. Lots of weird clipping/graphical holes in my letters that also show up when I copy to Photoshop. Might be very useful to know what the pt. size your starting with as that seems to significantly alter the 3-D bevel.

I just figured out why just the face wasn't being selected when I was using the magic wand tool. The problem is that the color is too dark and photoshop isn't recognizing that there are different faces to it. As soon as I lightened the image, it worked. Hope this helped!!
PS- LOVE this tutorial. Its a fun and easy way to create 3d text without buying another expensive program. THANKS!!

Im not sure if you still look at these posts... But I recently just came upon this tut and love it. My only question is.... I used your exact numbers for the bevel- but when I put it into photoshop... and use the wand tool.. it is highlighting the entire Letter. Im not sure if its the font size that im using, or if its the difference of me using CS2.

Please edit the tut in the 2nd instructions, adding that you are using Illustrator...so as not to confuse others in the future(some wouldn't think to read the comments to solve this problem). That's the only thing that prevents the tut from being a really useful and awesome tut(complimenting the effectiveness of it) Heh. Nevertheless, thumbs up (:
