I am facing some difficulty. Will you mind sharing the file with me?

@@iztinabrrafi4954 I guess you want cast-shadow file used by the uploader , whats your mail. If you need my project .psd file where i used this technique let me know that too. As my project file is quiet large to sent over mail ( i have to upload somewhere else, i will mail the link)

You can't even go through with the entire "tutorial" unless you buy this guys PSD. Nice mate.... really nice!!!!

no.. the psd he tells you to download from the description is free.. it's just a cast shadow

Thanks !! im currently taking a photoshop class and we are currently doing text effects. This tutorial helped a lot!

[@MadebyMighty]

I'm glad this helped 😊 Thanks for your comment!

[@denap.2811]

Awesome! Beautiful work. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making a tutorial video at a pace that people can follow- most are way too fast.

[@MadebyMighty]

Hi Dena, I'm glad you found the tutorial useful! Thank you for giving me feedback it's very appreciated!

[@busimo]

too slow in my opinion

[@tomthesmol9676]

Such fantastic tutorials. I self learn a lot . I’ve used Photoshop with a small xp-pen star g430s drawing tablet for many years. photoshop is a powerful tool for digital art .

[@yanhughes]

the tutorial is so clear and easy to follow, followed step by step and made one! Awesome!

[@MadebyMighty]

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it 😊 Cheers!

[@marka657]

Very nicely done. You're a good teacher.

[@CrispinNisbett]

Thanks a lot I have a project to be done and I was looking for a much simplified version for the 3D effect other than the multiple layers that you mentioned earlier in the video. It is indeed very tedious. Thanks so much for your help.

[@jimleggett9081]

This was a great video, except when you got to the actual technique you used to create the shadowing effect, you said it would be boring to see how to do it. Boring or not, your technique makes the font look realistic. I would have preferred to be shown a tedious technique to get an amazing effect, instead of just a file to make the shadow technique for me. What I don't know is: what angles did you use? What Gaussian settings did you use? How many layers does it take to make the effect? You handed me a fish instead of teaching me to fish. I'm not ungrateful for the fish, but the knowledge of how to catch it myself was what I was seeking.

[@joshaceves122]

If you look in the file apply the shadows to your text you can see each effect layer and its settings.

[@warvdine4470]

@@joshaceves122 I actually used this as my time to practice feeling it out for myself. I have a set color for my font, so I changed the shadow to be the same color but much much darker(almost black). I then added the Gaussian blur(the same blur for each layer) and self-moved each layer into place. It's good to have tutorials like this, but you also want to be able to teach yourself how to catch a fish even if you haven't seen it done before. Might not be perfect the first time, but it gets better with practice '' '

[@LalK2K23]

Amen!!!

[@landowalker5479]

What a clever, effective technique. That is a really convincing 3D effect!

[@MadebyMighty]

Thank you for the feedback! Cheers! :)

[@michellewatson4877]

Thank you! Great tutorial! How can I smooth the edges of the font so that it is not pixilated when expanded to project on a big screen?

[@razanb7393]

Thank you very much , everything was clear and simple ! You made it sounds so easy ! I'm a beginner with Ps but I did follow each step and I did it !! I'm very happy with the result I got and I'm going to use it in my project ! Thank you again

That font is too ill 🔥 It's a custom edit right?

[@carymcclure4567]

I love this and have used it a couple of times but any suggestions on using colors like which should be light and which dark 🙂

[@MadCandor]

For all the people that say the file wont open up in Photoshop, just unzip it, place the file on your desktop, and then go back to photoshop - File - Open - and open the cast shadow file.

great vid, can you use these in 3d printer? thanks

[@denysp.1667]

great tutorial, what if i want my shadow to go in a different direction?

[@phoebus00]

I realize this is an older tutorial, but for the background why didn’t you? Layer>Create Gradient Layer [dither on] Checking dither should remove the banding. This seems like somewhat extra steps to achieve a gradient without banding.

[@SalmanBJJ]

Thanks for the tutorial. I have a question, how smart is a smart object?

[@LalK2K23]

Not that smart. About 59.

hey you are really mighty, Iwas too looking for this from a long time

[@cyklzycia8814]

Very nice man, good job :)

[@peteharrison3241]

Thanks for a great tutorial, although I never managed to quite reach the same effect. Is there a way to achieve a similar result but with the shadow inside so it looks like 3d text cut into the layer background colour, maybe showing another layer below?

[@liama8337]

Thanks for this! How did you ever work this stuff out? I could have never even guessed where to begin even making it 3D XD

[@MadebyMighty]

It's a pleasure! 😊 I had a general idea of how I wanted to create the effect but I still went through a fair share of trial and error haha, cheers man!

[@mikepindara8478]

Love all your designs. it'd be really cool to see some of that trial and error process. Way more to learn hearing why you choose your effects vs. which values to put in where.

[@MadebyMighty]

Thanks Mike, I think that's a pretty cool idea. I might treat it as more of a "behind the scenes" or something. Thanks for the feedback, cheers!

[@sidheshhalarnkar871]

Hey hi can u make a video tutorial to explain how u have done the shadow for the "mighty" tutorial u had done please...

[@MadebyMighty]

I'll probably upload a private video showing the basics because it's a pretty long and tedious process and it would most likely result in a really boring video, but I'll share the link to that video in the description as soon as I have a chance to upload it. Cheers!

[@sanderdebeer100]

Hi, did you ever got to the video showing how the shadow was created?

[@gobrad]

Do we need the background? I'd prefer the text on its own with transparent background

[@mayamccray7805]

Hey mighty! This is the 2nd tutorial from you that I have watched and their easy to follow and great edit techniques to use. I did have the same question for this and another. For some reason my holding SHIFT and pressing down and left doesn't allow me to 'nudge' and I am working on a PC, any thoughts on this?

[@MadebyMighty]

Thank you for your feedback! 😊 If you just move your layer by pressing the arrow keys (without holding Shift) does that work? It will move 1px at a time so it won't too obvious but if you press it a few times, does it move? I'll try and figure out why it's not working. Cheers!

[@AhmedHassan-if3iw]

Nice work.👍👍👍

[@luciasalan7712]

Really Good Video Really helped

[@GerardMBPean]

Can someone tell me the name of the font used in this tutorial PLEASE?

[@EvatheDiva00]

it looks hand lettered to me, almost no logos use a standard font

[@Qoxm1]

beyond the mountains font

[@Codgerism]

@@EvatheDiva00 A lot of logos use standard fonts (often modifying them). There are countless examples of Helvetica logos out there.

[@ianpatrick5432]

Great video! For the paid PSD template, can you use a high-res logo (with transparent background) instead of inputting text? How do you do this? Thanks!

[@MadebyMighty]

Thanks :) You can absolutely use a logo instead of text. Basically, once you double click on the smart object to edit it. Instead of changing the text, just make the text layer invisible or delete it and then drag in your logo from Illustrator or from another Ps document or .png depending what format you have it in. Let me know if you need help, cheers! 😊

[@diegoocasiano]

Fantastic tutorial!

[@SorinNyx]

hi! I have a question about blending mode settings (or Photoshop in general). for example: I have project A, in blending mode I change a lot of settings for a 3D text (or everything else). I finished the project, I closed Photoshop. I reopened Photoshop to start create project B. Well, all the settings from blending mode it's the same from finished project A.. How can I reset them? I mean when I enter again in Photoshop, settings must be reseted by default. Same problem with all Photoshop settings, not only in blending mode. Thanks, keep up!

[@MadebyMighty]

Hi, do you mean the blending options in the Layer styles window for example? If so, yes the values used in your previous document will carry over (if you saved the previous document). Actually most settings will carry over now that I think about it. I'm not sure how to reset everything because I never really felt the need to since I usually manually put in new values for each new project but in the Layer Styles window, each blending option (gradient overlay for example) has a "Reset to default" button. I hope this answers your question :) Cheers!

[@SorinNyx]

thanks for answer! yes, it works with "reset to default" button, but in tool panel, the settings ar the same from the last project. ex: when I choose Brush Tool, the mode is Soft Light (and should be Normal), opacity is 32% (and should be 100%), flow is 65% (and should be 100%). Another example: when I choose rectangular marquee tool, the substract from selection is already selected from the last project (and should be New Selection selected). Another example: when I choose Erase tool, the mode is Block (and should be Brush), the opacity is 54% (and should be 100%) and the Flow is 30% (and shoud be 100%). And so on, all settings ar from the last project... Does exist something like "reset all settings to default when exit the Photoshop"? I'm using CS6 version. Thanks!

[@MadebyMighty]

Ahh I hear you, to be honest, I don't know if there's any way to reset it all to default. I'll look it up and get back to you :)

[@SorinNyx]

Thanks a lot!
