Keep drawing the lines, angling them as you go around curves as I have done below. Once the lines have been made, merge the "Segment" layers together. 5- Pick the move tool, activate your pipe layers and move them as shown in the picture. Both pipes have to fit perfect to the border of the white mask. With over 10 years of experience in the design industry, Colin was formerly Senior Editor and Art Director for VOICE magazine.

If you would like to make your pipe have a small chrome effect then continue this step. Click on the pipe layer and apply lighting effects with these settings: 1. Create a new 300x300 height. document and name it Solar Wind. Now press D and fill the document (with Black). Then, create a new layer, name it 'pipe'. Select the rectangular marquee tool and make a rectangular selection (like a pipe) in the middle of your canvas. Then select the gradient tool and choose linear gradient. Choose the premade copper gradient from the Gradient picker.
4- Pick the Type tool and write whatever you want, scale and move it around as you like - Choose a position out of the middle of the pipe to have the effect more realistic. 2- Choose white as foreground color and black as background color. |
