Colorful Sparkling Glass Text Effect
Posted by textuts | On 17 July, 2013 | In Simple
This is a super easy tutorial that will show you how to use basic Filters and
simple Layer styles to create a bright colorful glass text effect.
The Final Result
Tutorial Details
• Software Used : Photoshop
• Version : CS6 Extended
• Time : 0:30 – 0:45
Tutorial Details
• Playball font.
Step 1
Create a new 1250 x 750 px document, fill the Background with Black, then
duplicate the Background layer.
Set the Foreground and Background colors to Black and White, then go to Filter
> Render > Fibers . Change the Variance to 20 and the Strength to 5.
Go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur . Change the Angle to 90 and the Distance to
1000.
Change the Background copy layer’s Blend Mode to Linear Burn. This will not
create any effect for now, but it will once we add the colors later on.
Step 2
Create the text in white using the font Playball and the font Size 250 pt.
Change the text layer’s Fill value to 0, then duplicate it.
Step 3
Double click the original text layer to apply the following Layer Style:
– Bevel and Emboss
• Style : Outer Bevel
• Technique : Chisel Hard
• Gloss Contour : Cone – Inverted
• Check the Anti-aliased box
• Highlight Mode : Linear Light
• Shadow Mode – Color : #b5b5b5
– Contour
• Contour : Cone – Inverted
• Check the Anti-aliased box.
– Stroke
• Size : 7
• Opacity : 0%
• Color : #ffffff
– Drop Shadow
• Color : #474747
• Distance : 11
• Size : 8
This will create the first layer of the glass effect.
Step 4
Double click the copy text layer to apply the following Layer Style:
– Bevel and Emboss
• Size : 13
• Gloss Contour : Rolling Slope – Descending
• Check the Anti-aliased box
– Contour
• Contour : Guassian – Inverse
• Check the Anti-aliased box.
– Inner Glow
• Blend Mode : Overlay
• Noise : 100%
• Color : #ffffff
• Source : Center
• Size : 20
The Noise value will add a subtle sparkling effect to the text when the colors are
added. You can decrease the value if you want a more clear-looking glass/result.
This will create the second layer of the glass effect.
Step 5
Pick the Brush Tool , choose a big soft round brush, and set the Size to a value
around 450 px. Then, create a new layer between the two Background layers
and call it Color .
Next, you’ll need to pick different Foreground colors, then for each one, click
once behind the text to add dots of color. Make sure to choose lighter colors as
they will create a better effect.
You can increase or decrease the brush size if needed as well.
The colors used in the tutorial are shown below, but you can choose any other
colors you like.
And that’s it! Very simple, but bright and fun.
Hope you enjoyed the tutorial
