The idea here is to hide the background with the halftone. Using the layer duplicated in Step 5, create a marquee selection by holding Command and clicking on the thumb of the layer. Select 300 Pixels/Inch for the output and Halftone Screen for the Method.įor the Halftone Screen properties use 30 for the Frequency, 45 for the Angle and LIne for the Shape. Once the render is over you can rasterize the layer.
We will use it in the future to create a mask. The rendering might take a little long, so it's time to get some coffee :) Once is done duplicate this layer. The 3D image will be rendered and you will get a much sharper result. Here is the 3D text you will have after applying the effects. Follow the images below for the 3D properties for the Scene, Object, Texture, and Lighting. After go to Window>3D so you can see the 3D panel. With the new layer selected go to 3D>New 3D Extrusion from the Selected Layer. Notice that I connect the letters so there pretty much one big block.Ĭopy the text in Illustrator and then go to Photoshop. Using the font Teutonic No1 DemiBold, you can download it here ( ), create your text. Open Illustrator and create a new document. The whole process is very simple but it might take you up to 2 hours to go through the whole technique. So in this tutorial, we will create a basic 3D effect using Photoshop and Illustrator.
We decided to play with some 3D using Photoshop to create a basic extrusion and then adding some old halftone style to it. Photoshop CS6 has updated its 3D tool adding more features and making it easier to use and faster.
