Make text that would be used on bountyhunter-ships or races. I tried to remake the title of the game BountyHunter, but instead I made something different!

A pretty complicated tutorial on how to achieve this random metal-effect. I will teach you how to use several techniques which can be very usefull in text-manipulation! This random metal text looks a bit like the NeedForSpeed-logo, don't you think?

Step 9: Under Layer Style (Layer > Layer Style) add a Pattern Overlay blending option to your Metal Wire Text Design layer.

6. Use lesso tool, do some different selections on the edge of the text, then move them pixels away from the text so it looks like it's broken.

I just came across this website and when I looked at its logo, I thought I can do it and I should also tell others how to get that "Metallic Style" text.

We are now going to create a texture layer, which will be used later on to add effect to the text.

To a bit of extra flavor to the image, we can add a new layer called "cloud" in between the text and the background texture layer, use the Lasso Tool with 40px feather to make a selection around the text and render some cloud inside:

Change the foreground colour to #DCDCDC and choose the font for your text. I've chosen "SF GRUNGE SANS BOLD" but most fonts will work (the bolder the better - try to avoid light fonts). Set the font size to 72pt and the anti-aliasing to Strong. Type HV-DESIGNS onto the canvas or what ever you feel is fit.

We'll begin this tutorial, by creating a new canvas at a size of 267 x 154 then select the "Text Tool" and use the below settings. Download the "Carbon Block" typeface here.

Next, we will Ctrl+click the Shine layer and goto Filter > Render > Lighting Effects. We will change Intesity to 43, Gloss to 47, Material to -82, Exposure to 7 and Ambience to 3. Also, make sure that the Texture Channel is set to Alpha 1 copy.

Remember that Ring-Double Curve? I'm now applying that same curve to Inner Shadow, Inner Glow, and Outer Glow. I've adjusted the color of the outer glow to match the hue of my text, and filled the background with black. Here's or metal now:

Grab the "Type Tool" "Nueva Std" bold at 62. The typeface really doesn't matter though. Type your text, in this case, "Metal" works for me.

Then go ahead and choose the text tool. I chose "Times New Roman" as the typeface at a size of 98 using the color ececec. Now type Metal and move on to the next step.

1. We're going to try to get a really metallic chrome effect on our text, using curves and other features in Photoshop. Start off with a large canvas, the larger the better - I'm using 800x800. Make some text and have it a light-medium grey, in the example I'll use #B3B3B3.

Hi Guys, Dont worry this effect does not require space science knowledge but just an illusion of pure white and black colors. Normally metal effects are illusions of white and black colors but, no doubt, they look so complicated and cool. I will not take any more time of yours and lets start with this.

Step 9 Et voila! Your metal text is completed. Resize this to a smaller size and it will look even cooler!

7. Next you may notice white spots within some of your text areas. This is because you use a default white color prior to applying the styles. One way to fix this is simply by decreasing the font size.

Most of you probably know those awesome letters that were generated with 3D programs. But what about when you don???t have any particular program and you need to make 3D typography? This tutorial will show you how to create the 3D text shape and give it a high quality metal look using pure Photoshop. Check it out!

Let's start out by creating a new file. I used a 460x100 pixels canvas set at 72dpi, and I filled my background with a black color. Now create a new layer set and name it 'Thin Metal Text Effect'.

In this tutorial we will create a metal panel from scratch (with no imported graphics) and create the effect of etched metal text like this:

Step 9 Et voil?! Your metal text is completed. Resize this to a smaller size and it will look even cooler!

Use Type Tool [T] to create text that you want to make look like metal. For the best result use large text, e.g. size 75+.

Text can be inserted into Photoshop and given the look of a brushed metal effect with just a few steps. In this video tutorial, you'll learn how to create metal text in Photoshop CS3.

Note: ALL images are hosted on our server, only because this blog was put on a top level domain later, some URLs still point to the previous location. This it the first tutorial I am writing especially for TopTut.com, and just like with the forum, I decided to start from easy tutorials such as text effects.

Next, Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur with a setting of 3. If all went to plan, you should have yourself a neat Metal Text Effect. Use Image > Adjustments > Color Balance to give it some color - Blue looks real nice with this effect. Or, Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and play with the Lightness settings to get a polished chrome look to it. Hope you enjoy this Effect. Depending on the Font (Arial, Verdana) the effect may not look like mine. I used a nice little Freeware font called Battlefield for this. It is my favorite font. You can download it here. This download is brought to you by Iconian Fonts, a really cool place to get Bitmap Fonts and Windows Icons. Download it, and try this Tutorial.

I know that many of you have seen tutorials all over the place that describe how to create metallic text with Photoshop. Well, I'm here to show you how to make Killer Metallic Text and I'm going to toss in a cool background and a reflection effect. So over this two part tutorial you actually get three tutorials for the price of one. How's that sound? Along with this tutorial I will make the final Photoshop (.psd) file available for download. I know that sometimes it is easier to figure out how something works by taking it apart first. Note: Throughout the tutorial I will give you keyboard shortcuts for picking tools or performing commands. They will be listed in parenthesis next to the task.

And how about that metallic-fleck paint seen on autos and bicycles? Change the Hue and increase the Saturation in your adjustment layer. Then, to add the flecks, follow these steps:

This tutorial will show you an easy way to make an outstanding metallic text effect similar to the ones used in the Need For Speed Underground Games.

Select the layer "metallic text" and add stroke effect to this layer. To do this choose Layer > Layer Style > Stroke and set, for the stroke color, a light grey:

Now type some new text below the original and use steps 8 and 9 for the style. The typeface that was used for "Music" was "Exocet" (download typeface here) while "my ears" was "Verdana". The color used was 696678.

Press Ctrl+D (Mac: Command+D) to deselect the text. Open your Channels window (if the Channels window is not visible go to Window>Show Channels).

Step 2: Create a new layer and then select the Type Mask tool. I Chose Stencil Std font with 90 pts in size.

I am glad I was able to help with my tutorial, Sam! I'm currently in the process of adding more tutorials to One Fused Life. Hope you enjoy!

In this tutorial we're going to show you how to create some eye catching metallic text similar to the type used for the new�Spiderman 3? movie.
