EmmaS Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 I'm trying to create chiseled metal text, similar to that found in this tutorial: http://smashinghub.com/create-a-nice-harry-potters-text-effect-in-photoshop.htm Affinity doesn't seem to have various beveling techniques available. Does anyone know how I might recreate this within Affinity Photo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firstdefence Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 The metal texture is made a child of the text, make sure the texture is directly underneath the text on the workspace, then use the 3D fx to make the sharp bevel and the diagonal profile to get that sharp chiselled look.

Alfred Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Nicely done, @firstdefence, although it looks even better if you use the recommended font. firstdefence 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.4.1 (iPad 7th gen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alfred Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 LOL. I can’t help wondering if you rejected the idea of using the name Scabbers for your example.

EmmaS Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 It was the diagonal profile I was missing! Thank you! Bones, that looks amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
