In this final installment of Photoshop CS5 Extended One-on-One, Deke McClelland creates a total of seven 3D type effects from scratch.

  • Tracing character outlines with smart filters
  • Rotating, positioning, and scaling words
  • Quickly (and accurately) masking 3D letters
  • Assigning complex, high-quality bevels

  • Adding a crack to a grunge letter
  • Making a 3D pillow inflation
  • Simulating worn fabric with soft noise
  • Making blocky type using depth maps
  • Carving recessed type in a tree
