Why cut shapes into text in 3D (Photoshop CS6)?

Right. Hello all.
I'm having a little bit of an issue with photoshop cs6 3d function. It's pretty damn good (I'm using it for the first time) and I'm pretty impressed. However, whenever I go through a prelim render to get the jist of what the text I'm working on will look like, it decides to cut a random shape into a specific letter (the letter 'A', capitalised, News Gothic, Caps).
Why is it doing this?
I've tried multiple times to start over again after trying to change as much as possible but it still comes back and always comes back affecting the 'A'! Please see screengrab below.
Help please!
Thank you,
juggernautdave

It's pretty damn good
*lol* Armies of 3D artists using "real" 3D programs would disagree. That aside, your issue is pretty clear - your contour contains messy points/ duplicate points in that specific corner and it screws up the triangulation. You need to create the text as paths, manually clean them up and extrude the result. Not so good anymore, eh?

  • Why is the small text blurry on photoshop?

    If a vector is intact, no flattening has been done. I don't talk about PDF layers, they are a complete different thing. When flattening is done no form or text survives as live vector or live text.
    The pdf is X-1, so there are no Layers or transparencies in it, but the text is searchable still.
    So I guess you are correct in that no flattening has happened, rather Photohop embedded two images in the pdf and clipped the one with the type.
    Exaclty, whe a pDF X1 or 3 is created transparency is flattened and here it can come to unwanted rasterizing of vectors.
    How will you create the correct boxes for bleed and crop in Photoshop?
    For a newspaper add those will probably be irrelevant as bleed is hardly necessary.
    Not at all, it is much easier to assamble files in a greater layout if all boxes are correct.
    You know it good enough that this is not the right tool for that task?
    Indesign is definitely the preferable tool for the task at hand, but claiming Photoshop cannot output type except pixelated was not proper.
    I think in a forum we should not support the use of wrong tools but we have to show the best way to do things correct.
    And there are also problems which cannot avoided with higher knowledge like coloured black (not in this ad). Yes, you an me we are capable to shift around the known problems with ads created in Photoshop, but others don't know these problems and will crash.

    what are all the reasons why imessages turn into text messages...such as the recipient is talking on the phone, etc.?

    Hi,
    What's the worst that I've spent 100 Eur alltogether for GPS map based applications for several sports - golf, bike, ski, etc. These applications use data from iPhone Map application and its disaster after my update onto iOS 6. These are pictures of 2 of my favorit golf resorts:
    And here one example from a place where I use to bike:
    Very nice, isn't it?
    And unfortunately this problem won't disappear even when Google put stand alone map application into iStore.
    So I have only way to downgrade to 5.1.1 immediately to not throw away money I already spent.

  • Why does CC install 2 versions of Photoshop CS6

    Why Does CC install 2 versions of Photoshop, CS6, a 64-it version and another version, on my 64 bit windows8 machine? Why not install just one version?Do  I need both?
    Thanks

    32 bit is installed in case you need to use plugins which have not been updated for 64 bit Photoshop e.g. TWAIN for scanners.

  • Transform shape into text

    Hey everyone, OK so i know Motion pretty well now (just over time teaching myself), and i had an idea for a video introduction, and i am pretty sure it is possible the question is how to do it! Here is the idea, it's a black screen and darker colored, transparent boxes begin slowly flying toward the screen the speed increases, and then after a few seconds the last few boxes i want to line up and transform into text (in this case, my independent film company/name - Millexi Films)
    Get back to me ASAP!
    Thanks guys

    Well, an image mask is a mask created by an image or shape. It can be anything, including text. The best way to get your head around it would be to make a simple one.
    Create a large rectangle using the shape tool. Not the full size of the frame, but fairly large. Give it a color. Then using the Text tool write some text and adjust the size so that it fits within the boundries of the shape layer.
    Select the shape layer. Hit CMDSHIFTM to set an image mask on the shape layer. Drag the text layer into the source well of the image mask.
    What happens is the text becomes the mask. Everything outside the boundries of the text disappears and you have text that looks like it's the same color as your rectangle.
    Now imagine instead of using one rectangle, you had a group with hundreds of rectangles. The image mask will still work the same way.

  • Why does the zoom keep changing in Photoshop CS6?

    Hi,
    I have just recently bought photoshop, When I use the magnifier, it sometimes zooms on the left mouse button and zooms out on the right mouse button. Other times it dosn't do this. Why does it keep changing and how do I get it to stay on L/R button zoom? 
    I have just created my new site that has many English teachers on Skype All this was done using Photoshop cs6 but I had the problem with the zoom the whole time!!
    Please help me with this annoyance!

    Other times it dosn't do this.
    That’s a bit vague and you do not provide a lot of information, please read

  • Marquee and text tool causing photoshop cs6 to close?

    when i try to use marquee tool by clicking on it photoshop cs6 closes or I see an error message and then it closes?  text tool causes the same problem? im using xp sp3

    Boilerplate-text:
    Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by keeping command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift pressed while starting Photoshop after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)?

  • How to convert a shape into text

    After searching for a while, I could only find the opposite, how to convert from text to shape. I this case I have a shape that I would like to conver to text so that I can use it as a bullet. Any suggestions on how to do this in photoshop CS5?
    Thank you

    Depending on your needs, an alternative solution could be to use a program like inDesign that can do inline graphics. Inline graphics are image objects that you can place at the insertion point of the text tool while typing text and they will flow with the text like when you place images here in the messages of this forum or word processors like Microsoft Word but inDesign has the capabilities to have text on paths, shapes, etc with all bells and whistles of a layout program.

  • Random text changes in Photoshop CS6 Beta

    Hey all,
    I got a problem in PS CS6 Beta. When I try to change some text immediately after I click on text with type tool the text changes to some random text from my PSD file. So I'm unable to edit any texts in my PSD. I've tried to reset photoshop settings and also delete system font chache. This happens only in some of my PSDs. If I open a new file type tool works fine but I need my old ones as well.
    I've also tried open those PSDs in CS5 or on the other computers (macs and windows) but the problem remain the same.
    Does any of you have this problem? Any fixes?
    Thanks

    Yeah, I used to see multiple type styles but then I reseted photoshop preferences, deleted font cache and used "resolve duplicates" option in font book (mac). Now I don't see multiple type styles but I still can't edit any type.
    Reset preferences.
    Perform this step after experiencing the crash. It's also a good idea to restart your computer after your computer crashes.
    Hold the Cmd+Opt+Shift keys down immediately after starting Photoshop. Click OK in the dialog box that asks if you want to delete the Adobe Photoshop settings file.
    Photoshop's font cache.
    After you quit Photoshop, open the /Users/[user name]/Library/Caches/Adobe folder. 
    Drag the TypeSupport folder to the trash and empty the trash.

  • Why am I having problems printing with Photoshop CS6?

    My problems started when I upgraded to Adobe CS6. Colors are off, and prints are dull, almost murky. I thought it was the printer at first, so I swapped out all my ink (big mistake), cleaned the print heads (another mistake). None of these measures were necessary. I adjusted my CS6 color settings based on advice from sources like Linda.com. No improvement. Finally I saved my Photoshop file as a flat Tiff and printed from Mac Preview. The print was gorgeous! CS6 is the problem, I just don't know how to fix it. I'd hate to have to use Preview everytime I want to print from Photoshop. The printer is fine, the paper is fine, changing RGB settings doesn't help. Any ideas?
    Later that same day:
    I think I figured out a simple solution. When I selected the printing option to allow the printer to control color, rather than Photoshop, my print came out better. I've been reading threads all over the tubes and no one suggested that

    Yes you solved your own question, use printer handles color, whcih shodul have been the default. If you do want to experiment with Photohsop manages color, try the CMYK profiles, and send a cmyk file. Only exception is if you print to one of the few RGB printers like a lambda.

  • Why when using the crop tool in Photoshop CS6 does it suddenly change the layer and file format?

    I really need help with this. If I open a jpg in PS6 and crop it, the file transforms from a locked background layer to Layer 0 which is not locked. Then if I want to Save as a jpg I must flatten the layers as it is now a PSD file. SO frustrated! Anyone know what's going on?

    Enable the Delete Cropped Pixels in the crop tool options up top—this is the phrasing in my PS-CC.  I assume PS-CS6 has a similar crop tool option.
    If you don’t delete the cropped pixels, they are just hidden, then a layer needs to be created to hold the hidden pixels.
