Metal Text

In This Tutorial we will take regular text and add a METAL effect to it, in order to make it we will use the Plugin " EYE CANDY", If you do not have it you can download it HERE. Paint an Image as you usually do and go to your TEXT TOOL and add your name, but this time follow these steps...

FLOATING will give us the squigglies needed to add any effect you want to your text, and it also makes your text "moveable". ANTIALIAS Gives your Text a very smooth and uniform look. Add your text,

Now that you have the squigglies going around your text, go to IMAGE > PLUGIN FILTERS > EYE CANDY > CHROME.
These are the settings for chrome.

Use the PULL DOWN MENU



In order to switch the effect.

Once you have your desired effect, Click on OK.



To make it stand out a little bit more, go up to:
IMAGE > PLUGIN FILTERS > EYE CANDY > OUTER BEVEL,
These are your settings:



Click on OK, then go up to SELECTIONS > SELECT NONE



and ..VOILA... YOU ARE DONE!

Remember that this effect goes with almost any type of painting, so just play with it .. and above all .. HAVE FUN!!!
