  • Help with shimmering text

    Posted by Cbrown3 on January 12, 2007 at 8:39 pm

    I would like to know if it is possible to make text shimmer or shine like real gold.
    I have my text done like an animated signature, and would like it to look like gold.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Give this a try. Gold has a pretty distinct shine, but what-the-hey. It’s a start.

    The problem with shining objects is that they have to reflect their environment.

    I find that 3D applications do that best, Invigorator is one of them.

    The text is treated with a ramp and some curves, maybe a color overlay for the yellow.

    The animation of the text being drawn is done with masking. Probably using Vector Painted layer set as a track matte. On top of that there’s a particle emitter with the particles set to “star”. On top of that it looks like there’s a glowey ball slaved to the particle emitter.

    Probably took 2 hours.

    Any help?
