This Premium Tutorial is Filled with Creative Tips
Rather than fueling the debate of which is better, we’re going to use the power of 3D, raster and vector in this almost obsessive typographic treatment. This Premium tutorial relies on the stellar combination of C4D, Illustrator and Photoshop and touches on aspects of 3D Modeling, vector integration, brush work and photo manipulation. This is all coordinated to create a final illustrated typography design.

Looks like a really awesome tut, love the metallic blue shine on the swirls
…interesting! kind of pushes the boundaries of typography, almost anti-typography in the sense you can’t read it very well at all, which is kind of frustrating, but adds a degree of “mystery” at the same time, bit of a puzzle…
Oh I wish I had C4D >.<
Excellent result though. You guys have a huge amount of imagination.
wow! this looks great. i wish i had a plus account.
Wow this looks like every other C4d tutorial on here.
It’s so much better when you can actually read it, looks cool but its pretty not so useful.
good point, Andrew. i still have no clue what the text on the final image is supposed to say….
Enough, isn’t it? Correct me if I’m wrong : P
Can’t get enough of this
I think it says, “Can’t Be Enough Of This” (including the see-through words)
awesome effects on the typography itself (with the specularity and 3D), the background however, is basically the same thing that this guy has done four times now.
You’re close – Can’t Get Enough Of This.
Actually it’s “Can’t Get Enough Of This”
I’m extremely disappointed with the tuts that require C4D. I come here expecting to see PS tuts and maybe sometimes ones that require Illustrator. Let’s face it, if you have PS there’s a good chance you have Illustrator too, however I doubt most people who have PS have C4D too. I don’t, and so for me this tut is completely worthless.
Cry?
that is exactly what i was thinking go expand your horizons man!
Expand my horizons? Congrats, you missed the point entirely.
Yeah, I think it says “Can’t get” For the blocks on the right, Then “Enough” And then “Of this” for the blocks on the left…
But even it’s a little hard to read, there must be some awesome things to learn from it.
are u kidding me i have waited for this tut for so long only to find out that it’s a plus =( kill me now!!!
Awesome tut, only thing is the text is impossible to read,
lol I was trying to figure out what it said for the longest, thanks guys!
I wish I had Plus membership. I’ll get it soon! Too much good tutorials.
So which plus member wants to let me barrow there membership for 30 mins? ROFL! I wanna see how this is done!
by the way everyone add me if you have myspace :]

almost every concept on your portfolio webpage is based on psdtuts tutorial ;]
Haha, not only is he a spammer… he is also a thief as adam pointed out! what a chump
hehe. its ok to follow tutorials if your objective is to learn. and if you post them up, don’t claim the intelligence and creativity as your own. credit your inspiration and sources. geez. even us PS noobs know that.
anyone know how he made the material?
too bad its a plus T_T
i hope they make a plus worthy tut and make it free, just because its their bday
awesome totally kick ass tut
so as I said, but been banned, awesome tuts, BUT there is no C4D file!
It’s about time to a 3DTUTS!
3d does not work for me, but you can only do this in photoshop?
This is a really good tut, the only thing wrong with it is the text is impossible to read.
Is everything for Members now ?
Thats sad
GREAT tut man! And finally a good introduction to C4D for me.. However I got a question: how long should the rendering take? I used all the settings that you suggest in the tutorial, and it’s allready rendering for more then 11(!!) hours!
Very helpful tutorial. Thank you!
