In this tutorial we will show you how to create a 3D text in Cinema 4D, then in Photoshop we will import the .3DS file and play with it using the Photoshop 3D capabilities. We will also play with some filters, brushes and blend modes to create the effect.
The whole process will take a few hours, and this tutorial is more like a case study then a tutorial per se, we will show you some details of how we created the image but we really encourage you to try different values and elements as well.
