Nice teapot

How did you do the green one?

Hi sallyanne, I just ran Graechan's Blue Ice script with these settings

Nice work OMG, I especially like the spiky ribbed edging on your first one.

Teapot - thank you. Here is how I achieved that 'spiky look'.
1. Create your text
2. Duplicate it and then apply Filters>Distorts>Shift and apply parameters of 10 pixels and horizontal direction
3. Then again apply Filters>Distorts>Shift and apply parameters of 10 pixels and vertical direction
4. Apply filters>Render>3D Extrusion with parameters of 10 or 15 pixels and 225 for Direction.
5. Place your original text layer on top of the stack and apply modes or other attention as desired.

I must be in text mode right now- here are a couple more.

OMG,in the first of # 205, it looks like the text was carved out of horn.

OMG, I like your latest two effects, they really pop.

I realise you and racer-x have already done fur in this thread but I liked them so wanted to try it too.

I love that technic to make the text so fur or spiky look. :bigthup

I have tried it but I don't get to give the fur look to the front face of the text. Please any help?
Thank you so much.

Issabella - I think you are referring to my post showing how I achieved the 'spiky' text look and which Teapot has used subsequently, but I think without using step 5 in my original instructions and just retaining the 3D spiky look for all the text

Teapot also posted a 'furry' text image, referring to previous posts by me and racer-x, where I think it was probably Graechan's FUR script that was used. Hopefully Teapot can confirm this or help out further for you.

Thank you so much OMG for your quick answer and help. It's just what I missed.
Your technic to get that text look it's great! thank you so much. :tyspin

Just to confirm that's right for how both of mine were done.

Thank you so much teapot for your confirmation of the process. I've tried it and yes, I get the effect. Thanks a lot. :tyspin

Issabella - hope these 2 also please you

Warm toffee text and because I love red hair, auburn text.
