Learn with Autumn Leaf, 3 minutes a day, easily learn a cool PS tip!

Let me show you a very sci-fi futuristic PS special effect.

Isn't this sci-fi poster with an aperture on its head cool?

Today, I will teach you how to make an advanced version of the 3D text aperture. First, I will show you the renderings ~

This tutorial will cover 3D features in PS, I use Adobe Photoshop 2021.

Step 1: Let's start with the text aperture.

Click File-New. The values are as follows, create a long layer, and remember to set the background to [Black].

We add text on top so that the text aligns with the black background.

Then click [File]-[Save as]. Attention! To save to Photoshop format.

Step 2 We also need to create a ball to make a circle around the text.

Click File-New. Create a square canvas, remember to set the background color to [white]. Built like this.

Then we click 3D-New Mesh From Layer-Mesh Presets-Sphere.

And then we go to this page, and the white square canvas we just built becomes a sphere.

We went to the 3D page. Click [Sphere Material], and then find the [Opacity] option bar in the Material's Properties Panel.

Click on the small icon on the right and select Load Texture.

Attention! Select the source file we created at the beginning.

You see, the text we just made now forms a circle around the sphere!

Step 3 Next we open the stock image.

In order to facilitate the text circle around the head of the character, here we first cut out the part of the character.

Enter the [Passage] page. Click on the mask below to save the main character selection.

After we finish the text aperture later, we will use the mask to surround the text around the head of the character.

Go back to the Layers page.

Step 4 We return to the Layers pane of the sphere file. Let's select this background layer and drag it directly to the first people image file.

See, drag in the effect as shown below.

Look at the top 5 small icons, you can adjust the size, direction, and position of the text circle.

We adjust it to look like this.

The interface is currently in 3D mode, we want to go back to normal mode, so we select the background layer, right-click and select [Rasterize 3D].

After the effect is as follows, next we need to make the text circle around the head of the character.

Step 5 Go to the [Channel] panel and select the main character.

Then go back to the Layers panel. Click Layer-Layer Mask-Hide Selection.

The text circle layer is masked and then we erase the head text with White Brush.

See, now the text is wrapped around the head of the character.

Step 6

Finally, we add some "outer glow" style to the text, and then simply adjust the color.

Look at the renderings, not bad!

Did you learn the cool 3D text aperture written at the end?

Although the operation steps are a little too many, it is still quite simple to follow. As long as you can PS, you can do it yourself.
