After learning this tutorial, you can try to make Chinese characters~ The effect is very cool~
Step 1
First, we need to write 3D text. We can make it in Illustrator, or click on the thumbnail below to download the sample (how to make 3D effect text will not be described here):
Step 2
Place the 3D text and rename it to "3D text". Then, use the Magic Wand Tool to select the surface of the letter and cut out this part. You will see the effect below.
Step 3
Now comes the fun part. Make two copies of this layer, one for backup (“3D Text Copy”) and another (“3D Text Blur”). Move the backup copy aside (hidden). Leave the other two layers ("3D Text" and "3D Text Blur") handy. (Note the order of the layers in the image below)
Step 4
Next, create a new layer group, name it "Effects", and change the blending option of this layer group to "Color Dodge." Now, being careful not to affect the other layers, create a new layer in this group and apply the filter "Clouds" (Filter > Render > Clouds) to give it a nice effect, see the image below.
Step 5
Create another group in your panel (pictured) and name it "Colors". Remember the technique we used in step 4? We're going to apply it again. As always, create a new layer inside this new group, add a small amount of pink, and use the Gradient Tool (radial mode) to paint a soft-edged glow. After that, set the layer’s blending mode to “Low” blend setting or “Soft Light”.
Make it this far and you may see a weird pink cloud, but don't worry. All parts are planned.
Step 6
Repeat the previous step two or more times in different locations.
