This tutorial mainly uses Illustrator and Photoshop to create a 3D texture font tutorial. The font effect is very gorgeous, and the texture and three-dimensional effect are also perfect.
Let’s learn together.

Step 1:
Open Illustrator and use the text tool to enter a letter you like, such as "C" in this example. The font used here is Adobe Caslon Pro. You can also use any other font, as long as it is thick. Set the text size to 400pt, and stretch the length and width to 150%. Don’t worry about the font being too large, because when it is pasted into photoshop as a smart object, we can adjust its size arbitrarily. Finally, set the font color to light green (#8CC63F).
Step 2:
Click Effect > 3D > Extrude and Bevel in the menu bar and check the "Preview" option. Set the position of each angle as shown in the figure, and select the bevel style as "Oval".
The following settings depend on the font you choose, so you can set different parameters depending on the situation, although I generally don't recommend adjusting the bevel settings to exaggerated values. Of course, you can still increase the thickness of the font by increasing the "height".
Step 3:
After the AI is finished, we have to move to PS to continue the work. Ctrl+N create a new document (any size), copy the 3D letters in AI to PS, select "Smart Object", and confirm.
Step 4:
Next, it’s time to show off your skills in PS. We will add a variety of texture patterns and give them different blending modes. The key point is to keep trying and adjusting until you are satisfied.
Open the pattern in PS, select all, copy and return to the document you just created. We want to paste the texture on top of the letter C, but we must tell PS how to paste the texture - hold down the Ctrl key, and then click on the letter C Thumbnail of the layer - we can see that a selection is created around the letter shape, then click "Edit > Paste" and the texture pattern is successfully added to the letter.
Select "Overlay" for the blending mode, and the effect should be as follows:
