not sure i think the one on cork has shadows that are offset from the glass words and you can see shadows through the glass so it's more convincing than on white...try moving the shadow see if it looks better

Maybe adding subtle streaks/glare or a reflection of some kind,
would help to make it more convincing?

Even if you drop your opacity in the first layer it goes back to 100% when you add the 'white layer' - background. You can make subsequent ones see through.

Using the glass script and dropping the tint layer opacity. I also dropped the opacity on subsequent layers after merging all layers of the script. On the first duplicate after that then duplicated it a couple times more.

God morning everybody and thanks for helping.

OK I try once more and got this.

Image

Not bad but I can not find plane white background. I look all over the place. May I need to add one more layer I only use one layer.

Image



I ned text underneth each other, but Glass script dont let me type 2 line under each other See B
Image

Image


Can I combine both Glass Effect Text script and Logo Toolbox on same project.I think that solve the problem.
Image


OK.
I try with script Logo Toolbox with this result and 2 layer.

Image

I still need text to look like glass. How can I do that.

Sorry Lurifax I didn't add a pattern layer. Just another 'white' layer.
When adding layers you have the option of background colour, foreground colour, white or transparent. So I did the script with a transparent background and then added a layer after just to see if I was getting there.
As for your other questions you may have to wait for the others to give you an answer.

Thanks.


Pick your background colour within the script (looks like you didn't change it) as with text colour. I'm not sure about the centreing. I thought it was automatically centreing.
It doesn't matter if it doesn't look centred in the script - leave it in two lines like you want. Hopefully it will centre then.

I was using a different script before. With this one you don't have to do all the extra bits I mentioned earlier. This one should do it all for you.
Oh and don't forget it does plastic or glass. You need to choose the one you want.
