Create a Valentine’s Day-Inspired 3D Text Effect

Valentine’s Day is right around the corner. In this tutorial, Rose will combine Filter Forge and Photoshop to create a wood textured 3D text effect with a simple red glass heart. Let’s get started!

First, you need to download Filter Forge from the plugin’s website. Once you download it, run the installation package. It will be added inside Photoshop under the Filter menu. To launch the plugin and start adding some filters, go to Filter > Filter Forge > Filter Forge 3. You’ll find a couple of already existing filters under a number of categories. You’ll also find a “Filter Library: Download more filters” link to the top right side of the plugin’s window. Click the link to start downloading filters. Create a new 1270 x 915 px document, and fill the Background with Black. Then create the text in All Caps using the font “Fengardo Neue Black”. The font color is white, and the font size is 350 pt. n this tutorial, the word used is “LOVE”. So the letters L, V, and E will be created separately, then a heart shape will be added instead of the letter O.
