Create Super Glossy 3D Typography in Illustrator and Photoshop in photoahop updates -1

Turn this new “shine” layer down to 50% Opacity and then with a variety of hard and soft edged brushed, we’re going to mask more of this layer.

---

Step 15

Create a new group within group “1″, name it “3d shading” and place it above layer “3d 1″ and below “base 1″. Now Cmd/Ctrl + Click on the layer thumbnail of “3d 1″ and click the Add Layer Mask button to apply the selection to the new group as a mask.

Create a new layer inside this new group and name it “shading 1″, then with a small soft brush set to 80% black, shade in any areas that would be in shadow according to your light source.

Then set the layer’s blend mode to Overlay, 50% opacity.

Create a new layer above “shading 1″ and call it “shading 2″, then with a small soft brush set to white and 50% Opacity, paint any areas that would be lit up by our light source.

Set “shading 2″ to 50% Opacity with Blend Mode – Overlay.

Create a new layer in this group and name it "shading 3". Then with a small, soft black brush set to 100% Opacity, paint more shadow in the small areas along the bottom of the text that would be receiving no light.

---

Step 16

Now we’re going to repeat this process for group “2″. Within group “2″, create a new group above “3d 2″ and below “base 2″, name it “3d shading 2″, then Cmd/Ctrl + Click on the thumbnail of “3d 2″ and apply that selection as a mask to “3d shading 2″. Then create a new layer called “shading 1″ within this group and with a medium sized, soft black brush paint in some shadow. Lastly, change the Blend Mode to Overlay.

Create a new layer in this group and call it “shading 2″. With a medium, soft, white brush, paint a highlight on the left corner and change the layer’s Blend Mode to Overlay.

---

Step 17

Now we’ll do the same for group “3″. Create a new group called “3d shading 3″ and place it in group “3″ between layers “base 3″ and “3d 3″. Cmd/Ctrl + Click on layer “3d 3″ and apply the selection as a mask to “3d shading 3″. Create a new layer called “shading 1″ within this new folder and set the Blend Mode to Overlay. With a large black brush paint some shadow along the bottom edge.

Create a new layer called “shading 2″ and with a large white brush paint a highlight as follows.

Switch the Blend Mode to Overlay.

OK at this stage this is how your image, and your layers should look.

---

Step 18

Now go back to group "1" and duplicate "base 1" by dragging it to the New Layer button at the bottom of the layers palette.

Open the Layer Styles window for this duplicate layer by double clicking on Gradient Overlay Effect. In the Layer Style window, uncheck the Gradient Overlay and add an Inner Shadow with the following settings.

Right click on the effect itself in the Layers Palette and go to Create Layer. This will separate the effect from the layer, so it will cease to be a layer style and will be a pixel image on a layer of its own. Name this layer "highlight 1."

Now you can delete the "base 1 copy" layer. Nudge "highlight 1" 1px left by pressing the left arrow key, then Cmd/Ctrl + Click on the thumbnail of "base 1" and apply that selection to "highlight 1" as a layer mask by pressing the Add Layer Mask button at the bottom of the Layers Palette.
The with the layer mask in place, nudge the layer 1px up and 2px left using your arrow keys. This is to position the highlight right over the corner of our lettering – where the light would be reflecting from. You should now have something like this.

Group the "highlight 1" layer (Cmd/Ctrl + G) and name the group "highlight". Give the group a Layer Mask by clicking on the Layer Mask button. We could work on "highlight 1"s layer mask, but this way it will be easier to correct errors and fine-tune the mask.

With the layer mask selected, using a medium soft, black brush, mask out areas of the highlight folder. Mask any areas that are not on a top-left edge. Here’s how it should look.

---

Step 19

Repeat this last step for groups "2" and "3" – duplicating the "base" layers, applying the Inner Shadow, then creating a layer from the style then masking it necessary.

OK, we’re getting there, now we want to add some more colors. Create a new folder at the very top of all our layers/groups, and name it "color overlay". Create a new layer within this new group and call it "overlay 1". Set your foreground color to #7c21c8 and select the Gradient Tool (G) with a foreground to transparent, circular gradient. Add a large radial gradient in the bottom right corner, and then set the layer Blend Mode to Color.

---

Step 20

Now create a new layer called “overlay 2″ and draw another gradient in the top right corner with the color #fee409. Again switch the Blend Mode to Color.

---

Step 21

Now we want to load a selection that includes all our "base" layers. We do this by Cmd/Ctrl + clicking on "base 1", Cmd/Ctrl + Shift-clicking on "base 2" and Cmd/Ctrl + shift-clicking on "base 3".

Now apply this selection as a layer mask to the group “color overlay” by clicking on the Add Layer Mask button.

---

Step 22

Now we’re going to add color to the "3d" layers. Create a new layer within the group "1", name the new layer "color 1" and place it directly above the group "3d shading 1". Select the Gradient Tool and create a three-color gradient using colors #a53c3d, #c52366 and #b22d9d. On the new layer, draw a linear gradient across the length of our image and change "color 1"s Blend Mode to Color.

Step 23

Now we want to mask this new gradient layer in the shape of our "3d" layers, minus the shape of some of our "base" layers. This might seem a complex series of clicks but its necessary to get the right selection, so it’s important that you follow these clicks correctly, and remember, you need to click the layer thumbnail, not the full layer.
First, Cmd/Ctrl + click on "3d 3", then Cmd/Ctrl + alt-click on "base 2", Cmd/Ctrl + Shift-click on "3d 2", then Cmd/Ctrl + Shift-click on "3d 1", finally Cmd/Ctrl + Alt-click on "base 1". When you’ve got the selection, apply it as a layer mask to "color 1".

---

Step 24

Next, create a new layer inside of, and at the top of group "2" and name it "shadow". Cmd/Ctrl + click the thumbnail of "base 2" and Cmd/Ctrl + shift-click the thumbnail of "3d 2" and apply that selection as a mask to "shadow" layer. On that layer, with a medium, soft, brush set to 30% Opacity black, paint in a small shadow where the top of our swirl disappears behind the text. This will create the illusion of distance between those two elements.

Now we need to do the same thing further down the swirl where it overlaps itself. Create a new layer inside of, and on top of group "3" and name it "shadow 2". Cmd/Ctrl + click the thumbnail of "base 3" the Cmd/Ctrl + Shift-click the thumbnail of "3d 3" to load the selection and then apply it as a mask to "shadow 2". With a medium, soft brush set to 30% black, paint in a small shadow on the swirl that’s beneath.

---

Step 25

OK we’ve just about finished now, just a small shadow and reflection left to add. If you collapse all your folders now, you should be left with five main groups. Select all of them apart from "background" and drag them to the New Layer button to duplicate them. With all the duplicate folders selected hit Cmd/Ctrl + E to merge them into one layer, name this layer "reflection". Free Transform this layer (Cmd/Ctrl + T) then right click > Flip Vertical. Move this layer down the page and add a layer mask.

With black and white as your foreground and background colors, draw a foreground to background linear gradient on the mask, from the bottom of your reflection to the top, then switch the layer Opacity down to 10%.

---

Step 26

Finally, create a new layer, just above our “background” group and name it “shadow”. With black as your foreground color, select the Gradient Tool (G) choose a radial gradient and draw a large foreground to transparent gradient in the middle of our image.

Free Transform this layer (Cmd/Ctrl + T) and drag it with the top and bottom anchors to reduce its height as shown

Before you release the Free Transform, right click and select Perspective. Drag the top right anchor in towards the left (the left will mirror this) and press return.

---

Conclusion

Turn the layer Opacity down to 30% and thats it!
