  • how to creat long glowing text blur?

    Posted by Robert on November 28, 2006 at 11:52 pm

    not sure how to explain but i’m trying to give the illusion that my text has a long glowing hot blur behind it that scales into the text. i’m moving the type into position and am wondering what the best way to do this would be. i’ve tried using some of the blurs like directional blur but i’m trying to creating a bolder look.

    try using the glow effect with only the X axis enabled and set the radius very high.
