I need to make light emit from a text. Imagine a black background and from it the word let's say LIGHT cut out. Behind that bground is a light source and the light comes out only through the letters towards the viewer widening in perspective
something like this
light source.........0
......................./.\
....................../...\
bground -------------------
with "light"......./......\
text cutout ..../........\
viewer.................0
(ignore the dots. the "/" and "\" are rays of light)
Originally posted by Vatcher this would be done so much easier in 3ds max...
i dunno, if you were just working in photoshop and you didnt need exact lighting based realistically on the text, photoshop would be fine.. (and 3ds max is expensive)
