[@Ploxiii]

Hey! Thanks a bunch for this tutorial as it has opened my eyes for more stuff I had no idea Adobe PS could do! :) I have one question; How do I apply the texture I choose to go on both the front and backside of the object I am texturizing? If I rotate it a little too much before saving it as a PNG I see the other half (backside) being black. Keep it up with the great content!

[@5ameeha]

This is the best tutorial I've seen for someone trying to achieve this effect with photoshop! Super easy to follow thanks again :)

[@elberttiao]

No worries at all, thanks for watching! 🙌🏼❤️

[@empirestatemusicfestival6075]

Hey! This is an amazing video. Thanks so much. I am running into a problem. when I go toenvironment, edit texture, and drop the image on the checkered surface, the text is not actually affected. the picture just sits on top of the texts, and I can kinda see the outlines of my text, but the text isn't affected. what could be wrong?

[@pyffen2024]

@@madebytl Yeah of course! You can hit me up on insta (it's just my name) or email. Ask away 🔥

[@brooke9344]

Thank you so much for this tutorial! I learned how to create realistic textures using this method. It worked for me once, but I've been trying to create the same metallic effect but when I go to apply the Metal Chrome (checkered) material, its really huge & out of proportion causing the textures end up looking really stretched out and pixelated. Is there anything I can do to fix this? I've looked everywhere online for an answer and can't seem to find one :(((((

[@kienquooc]

omg thank youuu

[@elberttiao]

[@elberttiao]

Thank you for watching 🙏🏼!!

[@vanda5838]

Sick video! thank you so much. I have only one question, when I export the final file from Illustrator the edge of the text is pixelated. Does it also happen to you? Does anyone have suggestions to fix it? Thanks :)

[@theblastedfrench]

amazing

[@elberttiao]

Thank you! 🙏🏼

[@eloisacaroline2885]

I use PS CS but still watch this until the very end because of the gentle voice 😂

[@Nutcup4774]

Great tutorial thst really helped but how would u apply that to a word that i want to use?

[@mynameisalef4333]

telling me to desactivate that option before starting saved my life lol i've been trying for days to replicate the effect but it was always bugging so thank youuu

[@elberttiao]

No worries! Stoked that it helped out, appreciate the comment and for watching 🤘🏼🔥

[@nihiloss1]

Love your beanie

[@elberttiao]

Haha thank you!

[@iamleoneljimenez]

Hey Elbert, this tutorial was fire but how do you get the 3d grid matrix to show up while doing this it never worked for me.

[@elisewaldow5683]

Hey!! Little late to this video, but looking for the "deactivate native canvas" setting in the latest photoshop and don’t see it. Any setting updates I should check instead or is that step not relevant anymore? Thank you, love the video!

[@lenn4rt_]

Is there a way to make the text sharper? Because mine is always a bit pixelated. My resolution and stuff is the same, so idk what to do.

[@ikauan7]

nuevo susc gracias bro

[@jennabrual5119]

How did you fill the text tracing with color & save the file as a PNG in the first part of the video?

[@JasonMarder]

In case anyone was wondering why every menu option might be greyed out...make sure your document is in RGB mode. Magically everything works. Image menu > Mode > RGB color

[@waddisbeats]

thnx bro

[@oliviagoraber2135]

this is the best advice i have ever received

[@VisitorOfDreamlands]

Because RGB is for screen.. its additive color mode and CMYK is subtractive color model and is for print media..
