There are many ways to make 3D characters. When making, you should pay attention to the structure of the fonts such as the composition surface and light reception, and it will be very easy to get started. If you want to highlight the three-dimensional effect of the font, it is best to choose a larger font.
final effect
1. First enter the number "3" in PS. Of course, it can also be other numbers, punctuation or English, but Chinese and other complex text are not recommended. The font is not limited, but it must be bold; I use 5 for the gradient. -100 magenta (M), plus relief effect, the specific value can be customized, the transparency of the highlights and shadows is adjusted to 100%, the mode is normal, the color of the dark colors is m100, k20-50 c and y are 0!
2. Add the inner glow effect, and control the range on the slope created by the relief effect.
3. Copy layer "3" and shrink it, place it under the original layer "3", and align the bottom. This will make the word 3 look like a perspective. Of course, the overall perspective effect must be considered.
4. The next step will be more troublesome. Use a path to connect the corresponding points of the big 3 and the small 3 (you can reduce the transparency of the big 3 by 50% so that you can observe the small 3), and add a gradient.
5. Create the gradient effect on other surfaces in this way, paying attention to the influence of light and the unity of color.
6. Pay attention to the gradient here: because it is affected by the upper layer and will produce shadows, and at the same time it is illuminated by light, and part of it is located on the bottom surface, so its gradient should be: dark-light-dark.
