How to create a Liquid Chrome effect in Adobe Photoshop

Xasthura, a member of the Dreadlabs Discord reached out and asked how to create an effect similar to this in Photoshop, so I decided play around with it and to create a video breakdown of it.

Hey man, how are u going to print that on a cotton shirt? Thanks for the video

[@Dreadlabs]

DTG printing!

[@bengalidoom7626]

Whenever I get to the step where I add the inner glow, I don't get that other-wrldly effect you get. Perhaps it is the shape I am working with? Or do you think it could be something else?

[@Dreadlabs]

It could be because of the size of your text. Especially with an inner glow with a gradient, the size / choke sizes are important. I suggest playing around with these. If you can’t seem to get it right, you can join on Discord and I’ll try to help you out!

[@bengalidoom7626]

@@Dreadlabs definitely going to try these! Will check out the discord also! Amazing channel man and thanks for the reply

[@valeriia247]

why the clipping mask is reset when you duplicate the text layer 😭😭😭

[@finngrow]

I’ve thought, that this effect is made in blender, or something

[@imspace8514]

same

[@Dreadlabs]

Also defenitely possible, but this one’s for the designers that do not have access to C4D or haven’t started learning it! There are so many possibilites in PS, it still amazes even after working with it for a long time

[@aliyanewman2502]

how do you merge the chrome effect to your text

same problem

Which one typography did you use?

[@Dreadlabs]

It’s a custom type, but I distorted it in After Effects with Turbulent Displace and traced it over with a drawing tablet

[@keiishi7564]

hii, what type of photoshop that u used in this video?

[@Dreadlabs]

Photoshop CC 2020 or 2021, I can't remember

[@TeoB-dr8vj]

Bro! Can this style be done in cinema 4d?

[@Dreadlabs]

I’d say yes, but I need to learn how first before I explain it to you!

[@leijolie]

can this be done on the ipad pro photoshop?

[@Dreadlabs]

Sadly, I have never used the Photoshop app on the iPad, sorry!

[@aandm7772]

Do you think this works if you want to create chrome blobs?

[@Dreadlabs]

Hi, I think so yeah! You might have to change some of the bevel / emboss sizes, but other than that you should be good!

[@aandm7772]

@@Dreadlabs thanks for your reply!

[@jakksiik331]

hii, i wanna ask how u put the iridescent texture on the text, did u turn it to darken or multiply just to fit on the white area before. sorry for my bad english:(
