Hey, I've been doing graphics related work for several years now, but only now did it land me a job.
Mostly my task is about giving the client a visualization, basically a preview of how his desired logo will look when embossed (or debossed) on the metal surface. My boss tells me that I'm doing a good job, but I know it doesn't look perfectly ideal, so could anyone tell me how I should make these short of effects?
Currently (as I show in the attachments), I always start with making a frontal view of the text, which is what gets commonly explained in tutorials online regarding emboss effects.
Then, I put the image on the tin can.I sometimes toy with the opacity and other effects.
This is considered serviceable. However on closer glance, it is problematic:
For one, it's hard to tell if it's embossed or debossed.
I feel like it's because I still use it as a 2d image with no real depth, while with it meant to be an illusion of a 3d text, it should bend with the perspective, however I have some trouble to wrap my head around that//
Hence I want to ask: Does anyone know a way to make this look much better?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: I tried doing something myself, hence the last third image, it's am improvement, but still... maybe someone knows something better?
