3d logo ေလးတစ္ခုၿဖစ္ဖို ့ အဆင့္ 50 ေလာက္ေက်ာ္ၿဖတ္ရမွာၿဖစ္တဲ့ အတြက္
နည္းနည္း ခက္ေနမယ္ထင္ပါတယ္
ၾကိဳးစားၾကည့္လိုက္ၾကပါဦး.....။
Step 1 - Creating New Document.
Create a new document (Cmd/Ctrl +N) with these setting:.
Step 2 - Creating Shape For Roof.
Activate rounded rectangle tool . On the option bar, set to shape
layer, with 20 px radius, set color to #a2a2a2. Create a shape.
Step 3 - Modifying Path.
Activate Convert Point Tool. And click on these points shown below to convert them into angles.
Step 4 - Modifying Path Again.
With pen tool and its "Auto Add/Delete", delete the anchor points below.
Look at this. There are two points we have to delete.
And our image should like this.
Step 5 - Duplicating Path.
Use "Ctrl/Cmd + C" to copy path, then paste path "Ctrl/Cmd + V".
Now we have two path in one layer. And then we'll make them into a 90
degree angle. Use "Ctrl/Cmd + T", and move the center of transform
control to top right corner.
Rotate it 90º CCW, press enter to apply. Activate Path Selection Tool (A), nudge the path to left like this.
Step 6 - Preparing for Highlight (Duplicating Path and Scaling Down).
Now, we need to duplicate the layer with "Cmd/Ctrl + J". And name it
"highlight". Then transform the paths on this new layer. Hit "Cmd/Ctrl +
T" to show transform control. To get easier transforming, we can use
Alt and Shift key. Scale down horizontally first, an then scale down
vertically. Just like this.
Repeat the transforming onto another subpath.
Step 7 - Rasterizing.
On the layer pallette, right click on "highlight" and select
"Rasterize Layer". Or we can access it on Menu Layer > Rasterize >
Shape.
Step 8 - Selection
On layer palette, Ctrl + Click on "highlight" layer thumbnail to load
selection. Then click menu Select > Modify > Feather or use
"Shift + F6". Give 10 pixels radius.
Step 9 - Filling with White.
Hit "D" on keyboard to set default color. "Cmd/Ctrl + Delete" to fill the selection with background color (white).
Step 10 - Make it Smoother.
Hit "Cmd/Ctrl + D" to deselect. Then add "Gaussian Blur" onto this
highlight. Click Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur and give 5 pixels.
Then reduce the opacity layer to 50%. So it become smoother. But, the
Gaussian Blur may increase its size. So make it into clipping mask to
the lower layer. Just hit "Cmd + Opt + G" / "Ctrl + Alt + G". The
highlight will be inside the shape of roof.
Step 11 - Rotating -45º
Select both layers at once ("highlight" and "shape 1"). Press "Cmd/Ctrl + T" and rotate -45º. Use "Shift" for easier rotating.
Step 12 - Adding Layer Style.
Add layer style onto shape layer.
Inner Shadow
- Blend Mode : Multiply
- Set the shadow color to #515252
- Opacity : 100%
- Angle : 90º
- Distance : 5 px
- Choke : 0%
- Size : 10 px
Bevel An Emboss
- Style : Inner Bevel
- Technique : Smooth
- Depth : 100%
- Direction : Up
- Size : 24 px
- Soften : 16 px
- Shadow Mode : Multiply
- Set the shadow color to #515252
- Shadow opacity : 100%
Step 13 - Creating Shape Again.
With Rectangle Tool, create shape above background. And the color
setting is #677479. And don't forget to use "Shift" to make a square
rectangle.
Step 14 - Rotating, Scaling and Placing.
Rotate the new shape, scale and place it proportionally.
We're going to edit this new shape for completing "roof", but it's
better to create front side first in order to get pola for editing.
Step 15 - Grouping.
Group these layers by select them and press "Cmd/Ctrl + G". Give name "roof" to this group.
Step 16 - Drawing Path For Front Side.
Hide the "shape 2" layer by clicking eye icon. Then using rectangle
tool, draw a rectangle outside the group, above the "Background" layer.
Shown below.
Note : while drawing, hold the spacebar key in order to be able to place path in center by dragging mouse.
Step 17 - Modifying Path - Add Anchor Points.
Using Pen Tool with "Auto Add/Delete, add anchor points on three
places below. The pointer will automatic changed to Add Anchor Point
Tool when brought nearer to path.
Step 18 - Modifying Path - Converting Points.
While Pen Tool still active, hold down the "Alt" key, pointer will be
changed to Convert Point Tool. Click the anchor points we've just
already created.
Step 19 - Modifying Path - Deleting Unnecessary Points.
There are two unnecessary points wich must be deleted. Use Pen Tool
with "Auto Add/Delete". The pointer will automatic changed to Delete
Anchor Point Tool when brought nearer to anchor point.
Step 20 - Adding Layer Style.
Add layer style with following parameters.
Gradient Overlay
- Blend Mode : Normal
- Opacity : 100%
- Angle : 90º
- Style : Linear
- Scale : 100 px
- Custom Gradient with following stops:
- #f6f6f6 on location 0%
- #f6f6f6 on location 48%
- #e7e8e8 on location 76%
- #dedfdf on location 100%
Stroke
- Size : 3 px
- Position : inside
- Blend Mode : Normal
- Opacity : 100%
- Fill Type : Color
- Set the stroke color to #c8caca
After layer style added, our image should look like this:
Step 21 - Back to Roof - Duplicating Path.
Activate shape 2. We will edit it.
To duplicate the path, use Path Selection Tool. Select Path. Copy the
path with "Cmd / Ctrl + C" and paste the path with "Cmd / Ctrl + V".
And then resize the path, "Cmd / Ctrl + T", make the path copy bigger
than original path. After that, on the option bar, select "subtract from
shape area".
