Create Better 3D Text in GIMP with This Ingenious Workflow

In this GIMP tutorial I show you how to design better 3D text using a simple hack I came up with featuring all built-in tools. We all know how to create simple 3D text with a single perspective, but this technique uses multiple, more complex perspectives to produce a more realistic 3D result. I also include adding a bevel as well as some lighting and shading more even more dimension. GIMP can definitely produce professional quality text effects even though it's a free photo editor and graphic design software! 0:00 - Intro 1:00 - Text Setup 2:41 - Add Duplicate Text Layers 4:20 - Add Long Shadow 10:12 - Add Layer Masks 12:33 - Change Opacity and Blending Mode 13:01 - Add Finishing Touches 15:42 - Final Thoughts Visit our website for more text and video tutorials: https://www.daviesmediadesign.com/tut...
