Bevel and emboss for object, not text

Is there a way to apply a bevel to a shape that I created in Photoshop and "placed" into Illustrator? I know I can add the bevel in Photoshop, but I'm wondering if there's a way to do it in Illustrator as well.
Thanks!

These methods work for object, not just text.

  • Bevel and Embossed text

    Hey guys...just wondering if anyone has a nice way of re-creating a Photoshop Bevel and Emboss effect for the text in Motion 3. I get a similar effect using the INDENT filter, but it's just not the same. Any thoughts?

    Hi,
    welcome to the posts. NIce alias name, classy!
    I had to look over the project again and it took me some time to sort it out. I made it in M2 and i think M3 does something funky.
    The layer with the little t is the text layer. Should have called it something else like "indented text" to make it clearer I guess. In answer to your question the text layers blend mode is set to stencil luma which make it act like a stencil, and therefore shows the paper layer below. Then there is another paper layer below that to give the background. If you didnt do the stenciled paper layer it would look like some coloured text indented into the paper, which wasnt the original brief.
    The spotlight is an M2 construct. Now of course we have lights in M3 so it becomes a bit easier.
    Just a point to clarify. 'parenting' is really an AfterEffects idea, something that Motion doesnt do. instead you have to put things in groups, a bit like comping in AE, but more flexible.

  • Photoshop text + bevel and emboss on TRANSPARENT background?

    I've created my Photoshop title images with text + bevel and emboss, on a transparent background.
    I've Rasterized the type and I've merged down leaving the transparent background (not flattened) then saved as .psd or .tif (with layers).
    When I import into FCP I either get the text WITH bevel and emboss, on a WHITE background or text WITHOUT bevel and emboss, on a TRANSPARENT background.
    Strange thing is, I've imported Photoshop images with transparent backgrounds into FCP several times before and although I can't say I've never had problems, I've always managed to work it out quite easily. Not this time, I'm baffled and seriously considering getting cross!

    Hello,
    I have tried the Ken Stone method (thank God for that guy...) but I am loosing my drop shadow and bevel effects on the text once the file is imported in FCP.. I used the NTSC preset with Transparent background in Photoshop. What am I missing? I have looked around in this forum and can't find a clear answer!!
    Any thoughts??

  • Bevel and emboss not smooth

    I am having issues using the bevel and emboss layer styles on my text. I am getting a stair stepping almost banding look on the bevel. It does this with any setting. Very noticable using the chisel  hard setting. It almost looks like lines are in the bevel. What could be causing this?  Thanks for any help

    What could be causing this?
    Normal behavior - because it's pixel-based, it uses thresholds to determine which semi-transparent pixels get "extruded" and which ones not, ultimately reflecting those pixel patterns in the final result. It's a limitation in most such effects and any additional operation that introduces more semi-transparent pixels intensifies the problem (such as 3D layers with filtering). Some tools like RevisionFX' Shade/Shape use additional code to reconstruct the edges and do a better job. Anyway, based on your image, even that may not be good enough. You are simply pushing too far IMO. What you seem to want would really be done much better with proper 3D geometry. If you can't and don't want to spend money on a plug-in, your best bet is to create a pre-comp with teh type as large as possible, apply the bevel, then scale it back in your main comp. When scaling down, at least a part of the streaks will be interpolated and thus the result look smoother...

  • Text  bevel and emboss?  HELPPPPPP!

    Hi there everyone...
    I have a photo of a clock ...
    http://s409.photobucket.com/albums/pp175/Studentiermegs/?action=view&current=DSC_0679.jpg
    and what I want to do is put some text onto the face, so it looks as though it is part of the clock... so like if I took a tool and carved into the back of the face and whatever I had carved appeared raised on the front. Hope that makes sence!
    Have tried bevel and emboss and pattern maker to try and get the surface of the clock, but looks terrible so I must be doing something wrong, if I have the right idea at all!
    Help!
    Thanks

    In your case the perspective will kill you. More or less I think you are not looking for a straightforward bevel and emboss at all, but rather a way to create the illusion of the stamped faces catching light. Even if you flatten bevel&emboss before transforming it, it will look goofy. Therefore I would recommend to create this in multiple layers. I suppose you should only create the shadowed areas using bevel&emboss on a white layer, then transform that and use multiply blendmode. Likewise, for the base you'd only use a slightly tinted version and use a blendmode. After that, I'd use Find Edges on a duplicate, remove all unwanted lines, blur it and place it on top to create the soft curvature you have on embossed plates. Might take some experimentation, but certainly will ook more "real" than a layer style only.

  • Bevel and Emboss filters?

    It appears to me that Motion 1 doesn't have the same degree of filters for text that Photoshop does, or at least I haven't found them yet.
    I did find the bevel border but that does not bevel the individual letters. I also found the color emboss in the stylistic group but that doesn't have near the capability that Photoshop does.
    I realize I could create letters in Photoshop and import them but that seems inefficient.
    Can anyone recommend any 3rd party filters that will accomplish the bevel and emboss effects directly in Motion?
    Hopefully at a reasonable price.
    Thanks for any help,
    Ken

    Specialcase,
    Thanks for the response.
    I'm sure I'm as blind as a bat, but when I go to "add filter" with a text word selected in my copy of Motion 1.01 and choose "stylize", there is no word that begins with an "i" anywhere in the list. Indent is just not there.
    Could that be a feature only in Motion 2? Or, do you think I might have a corrupt list of filters?

  • Convert Bevel and Emboss Effect into Separate Layers

    I was following a tutorial for making paint drips at http://www.planetphotoshop.com/dripping-color.html.
    I am not sure which version of Photoshop was being used in the video. Maybe CS3 or 4? It looks like the video was created in 2008? Towards the end of tutorial (about the last 1/4), he converts the Bevel and Emboss effect into separate layers in order to delete the effect from the top and sides of the image. I can't seem to locate the "Create Layers" option when I control+mouse click on the layer. Is the "Create Layers" listed some place else or is there another way to remove the Bevel and Emboss effects from the top and sides only?

    Which version do you work with?

  • "bevel and emboss" in AI?

    hi,
    i have a logo:
    http://wtf2.myfonts.com/uploads/images/81/8125584acfd1f91a596bb5c0b19daf09.98563.jpeg
    abd have the permission to use it, but they dont have an vector format of it :S
    so i'm trying it at my self...
    i have the right font, and used the "bevel and emboss" in pgotoshop. its nearly what i need, only other colors, and the horizontal parts had to keep going straight, now the vertical line "breaks" it:
    http://www.volgensbartjes.nl/musketiersPS.jpg
    but the fact is, that i actualy want to make him in illustrator, but i cant find he right tools there. i have tryed:
    http://www.volgensbartjes.nl/musketiersAI.jpg , but a you see, he makes the right part of each sword part of the R well, but he makes the left part of each zword part bigger :S
    does anyone haveing a good idea how i could make this in illustrator, like how he is in photoshop, but than with the good horizontal parts, like the original?
    thanks...
    Bart
    ps, this is not commercial, its for a amature musical group...
    ps, if you speak dutch, please answer in dutch, thats easyer for me ;)

    no, i post this in illustrator becouse i realy wanna do it in illustrator, i need to be able to move points later, so i can make parts longer as in the original is, and i also want to use the "sword font" later in other thingd, zo if its not a vector than anymore, i can never change anything anymore as its in photoshop....
    i have also tryed to cut one part of the R, and give it the fiter as shown in the 3rd picture, but it keeps making strange things outside the part, while ive choosen for inside....
    so if anyone knows an solution for illustrator? i really wanna know ;)

  • Is there a youtube that shows MOTION 5 doing 3D Motion with Objects, not Text?

    Is there a youtube that shows MOTION 5 doing 3D Motion with Objects, not Text? Here is an example of WHAT I want to do.
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=thMyEKXG65Y    This is ME and my demo youtube, which shows my FX work using an Old G5, and Final Cut Express that is at least 6 years old. All of these effects were 100% REAL objects, energy, etc. NO CGI at all. I have a MAC PRO now, yet unused as I need to buy software.
    So What I want to know [and can't find yet on my own], Does Motion 5 perform these same kind of 3D Motion Effects OR Does the New $299 dollar Final Cut Pro does these same kinds of motions, that I demonstrated in my youtube??  I'd like to know of someone else's youtubes that shows motion anywhere close to the complexity of some of my shots. A few were 100 layer composites. Thanks much.
    Below I checked an operating system, just guessing. I don't think that matters to my question.

    Hi,
    You can't do the masking that you'd require to achieve these effects in FCPX alone. You can buy plugins that will help. look for SliceX and TrackX which are excellent.
    Motion does allow you to mask very complex objects and scenes though so this might be your first step. Altough Motion can animate objects in 3D space, it does not deal with 3D objects, merely 2D planes in 3D space. You can import 3D objects and animate them with hep though, look for the excellent mObject from motionVFX, still in its infancy but already very usefull.

    Hi
    Please check if you have Defined the Number ranges for Document type ZNB  in
    SPRO-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Purchase Requisition-> Define Number Ranges
    The reason the error is Coming like that is, in the Customizing of PO Doucment types in
    SPRO-> Materials Management-> Purchasing-> Purchase Order-> Define Document Types-> Link purchase requisition - document type
    here you have maintained the Link for the PR & The PO.

  • Bevel and emboss

    so, after much research, i finally found out that you cannot create a bevel and emboss look like in photoshop. so i have created a very 'flat' looking logo in ai, but i want to add bevel and emboss layer effects. how does everyone else do this? i need the effects and the flexibility of a vector graphic. also, i have different layers in my ai file, and i need them to remain as layers when i open in photoshop.

    nope, not even close to what i can achieve in ps. i've accepted the fact that there is no way to replicate the ps bevel and emboss in ai. that's fine with me. i just want to know what other graphic designers to do work around it. i can't imagine rasterizing the file at different sizes, then applying the effects in ps. or do you rasterize the file at a huge size then apply the effects in ps, then scale it down if need-be? either way, it sounds very 'clumsy.'

  • Getting an Error Message: AA 698  ANLB and ANLC for asset not in Sync

    Hi all Experts
    I know there were previous thread on the similar issue. I read those and tried to follow the procedure mentioned but didn't work. First of all We are working on ECC 6.0 verion. We have couple of assets Which is giving a problem even when we display the asset. The error message AA 698 ANLB and ANLC for asset not in Sync.
    We added a new depreciation area which was added to all the assets. the depreciation calculation for the new depreciation area is not updated in table ANLB. The asset were capitalized in 2009. I think the asset transfer was done using AS91. I initially thought it was fiscal year change problem but now as i open fiscal year 2009 and try to calculate the depreciation it keeps giving me the same error AA 698. There were various OSS notes mentioned which are all implementd in our system.
    One more thing I see is that on the depreciation area which has issue which is not populated in ANLB table doesnot have ordinary depreciation  start date. Which I tried to maintain using AS92 and reran the depreciation caluclation (AFAR) this also didn't work as its giving me the same error. Also this depreciation area doesn't have Operational rediness date, I think this date should populate from the value date of the asset.
    Please let me know if you have suggestion
    Thanks
    Rajan

    Hi bernhard,
    thanks for your reply. Below are my observation
    1) Have ANLB-LGJAN and ANLC-GJAHR the same depreciaiton areas:
              I had checked this earlier....ANLC doesnot have an entry for that specific deprectiation area. ANLB has an entry. This is where all the issue started.
    2) Is the field T082AVIEWB-AUTHORITY on 2 (note 900767).
             This note has been applied and the view is on 2
    3)Are the following fields synchrone: ANLC-GJAHR = T093C-LGJAHR
                  These field are not synchrone: ANLC doesn't have an entry for depreciation area 82 other depreciation area are at 2009 in ANLC and in T093C-LGJAHR is in 2010. How can we sysnc these tables? Also how can I get depreciation area into ANLC table?
    Thanks

  • What are bevel and emboss styles ?

    what are bevel and emboss styles?

    Hi Garry,
    Check out this video tutorial on Bevel and Emboss effects:

  • Bevel and emboss like Photoshop

    Is there any easy way to get something like the 'bevel and emboss' effect in Photoshop? Short of bringing the paths into Photoshop and applying it there, of course...
    I was toying a little bit with doing something like that using the drop shadow effect, but the shadow has to come on the inside... Any tips?
    I would prefer to have it as a live effect - I have done it manually with vectors by duplicating/offsetting/trimming, but it is a fair bit of work...

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
    Please Adobe, can't we have this as a raster effect in the next version of Illy!
    Please, NO.
    Provide ordinary, tidy, efficient 2D-based bevel and extrude VECTOR path operations. Long overdue.
