metal looking text

[angelize]

I'm guessing that as Mike's profile indicates he's using DPX he doesn't have the Chrome plug in in the video as it's no longer supplied in newer versions. If one has a purchased version of the Eye Candy effects then Steve's Die cast method works well.

If you don't have Eye Candy effects you can create a similar effect by applying a bevel to the bottom shape and then apply the bumpmap to that. apply the add noise to the coloured text layer and use the embossing filter on that.

I've attached a .xar file that can be pulled apart to see how I did it.

I have been trying Frances to do something half way like yours but I cannot get it as sharp or metal looking as in my attached file.
Can you give me some easy steps....Please.

Here is a video of how I do this. You need to set your live effects to a high resolution and it takes some experimentation with the bumpmap settings

Thank you Frances..... easy to follow and perfect end product.
