I don't think anyone is trying to do because they feel sorry for you, I believe, at least from my feelings and how I feel, that they are posting out of respect. We love the tut, and we love to see how others do it and interpret it. I posted mine because I asked for the tut because the effect was pretty awesome and was actually an effect I was looking for. And if you don't want to make anymore tuts, that's fine too. Its your opinion and how you feel is completely fine anyway it is.

Maybe I'll do more later depending on the response others get for theirs. For now I'm sticking to art - it's what I'm best at.

@Erisian, believe me. I really thought it was interesting and I really like the results.

@molly, here is another version with bevel and shadow:

I'm digging this effect. Thanks for posting it. I'm not necessarily interested in it for text. I'm definitely going to be playing around with this.

YAFU, that's awesome.

I did have a go at it. I didn't pick the greatest font.

this was really fun! i was out looking for a text effect because i was getting tired of my signature and this worked so perfectly with what i had planned :). i decided mine wasn't ribbed metal, more like layered, semi-opaque glass in art beads - nothing could be lovelier :geekon .
