How To Create a Shiny Metal Text Effect in Photoshop

[ad_1]
Today’s Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop tutorial is based on the metal text effect from the movie Fantastic Beasts. It’s a really nice shiny metal, almost chrome like effect with a mix of water droplets, lens flares and some really cool custom type that adds sharp scales.

    How to you scale a layer on the fly? There's no scale box when I create a new layer. I have to manually select free transform and apply transformation each time. So annoying.

    Great work, thank you!
    One caveat, you talked very fast and I kept having to stop and rewind the video.

    I have been bing watching your tutorials. Love how they are fast enough to watch as a video yet easy enough to follow along

    Cool. I did this for a Game of Thrones text.
    Your tutorial is excellent. Concise.

    This text looks amazing unfortunately I cannot complete this cool look because the camera gets blurry from 7:50 to the end and I cannot see the settings used to complete the look. Is there a pdf of written effects instructions? It's too blurry for me to make out the effects options. Mine ended up nothing like this because of it. Thanks for such a cool tutorial I just wish I could complete it.

    Hate for this to come across as spam, I just wanted to say that I too posted a tutorial on creating a slightly different style of metal text in Photoshop. If people are still deciding on what style they are going for it may be worth your while checking my tutorial out. Great tutorial Spoon!

    Terrific tutorial. Crisp, to the point and totally gets the job done! One question though… when I flatten my final image or merge the layers, it changes the shading/highlight effects on the letters — can't figure out how to go from multi-layer to a single layer without the unwelcome shift.

    This was just awesome. Thank you man, it helped me allot.

    When i copy the edited text from illustrator to photoshop the resolution changes drastically. I almost can count the pixels… Do you know how to solve this problem? I did follow all the instructions but it keep appearing ugly.

    3 people know how to do it better! Where's your voice? Where's your tutorial?

    +SpoonGraphics great job! I can't think of anything better than this 😀 Congratulations.

    wow, i can make a logo like this but with a lot more steps, thanks for the shortcuts, will save me a lot of time….

  38. AdmiralEdge Seawolves Avatar

    So if I may ask where did you get the font for this tutorial?

  39. NorthShoreJoe Avatar

    This is a great tutorial, thank you. One problem….you're so fast throughout this video, I've had to rewind numerous times. Then I set the video to half speed and then you sound drunk as hell….just like Dudley Moore in Arthur

    Thanks, man. This tuto is just perfect. Help me a lot.

    i dont understand i followed what you were doing but with a custom logo with out the font and it did not look nothing like what you were doing.

  44. Nathan Howard Avatar

    Hey man great tutorial! I ran into an issue though that I was hoping you could help me with– When I set the bevel and emboss to chisel hard, it makes the highlights and shadows look real "choppy," but they look smooth on your video. How do you get it to look smooth with it on the chisel hard setting?
