3D Need Help with 3D text

[chitkaran]

Hey Guys,

I downloaded CS5 extented yesterday and was playing around with the 3D tab. I made this text with random placement.




I need help in adding a metallic texture to it. I want to make letters look like metal blocks kept together (brushed metal if possible)
How can I proceed with it. // Please help !!!

When you open the Repousse window to create your 3d text effect, look on the top right side of that window and you'll see the Material section.

Under the ALL setting, open that menu. Then click the small submenu arrow top right and choose your metal texture. After selecting it click it in the material list. It will be applied to the entire letter you're editing.

Do this for each letter.

Hope that helps...?
