A realistic wild nature text effect

This one tells you how to get a great realistic nature text effect. I tried to get a touch like "a non explored vegetation".

If you want to try this effect, you need to open this online free 3D text generator. I suggest you configure it this way (usually you don't need to change the shadow options to get amazing results):
- 3D text style: 6th item;
- Text: WILDEST (type as desired);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: A05000;
- Get as a transparent PNG file: unchecked;
- Font name: JFWildWood.

Following that instructions, you generate this cool text effect (click to view in real size):


Extra tips:
- this effect can be generated with an anti-aliased transparent background (select the "Get as a transparent PNG file" option);
- if you choose a very dark background color, it can decrease the 3D look, because this way the shadows are harder to see;
- there is a subtle trick here: to get a nice wild plant look, I have used a lichen text effect;
- the chosen font gives a kind of "tree shape", what helps us here. I suggest you don't change it;
- you can make thousands of realistic 3D text effects by using these online free 3D text creators.

Create a realistic "under construction" text effect

A few time ago, I needed a text to create an "under construction" mood. That time I generated a text that was a big success. It was similar to this one I teach you now.

To create this one, surf to this online 3D text effect maker, so set its parameters as explained (to get that result, don't change the shadow options):
- 3D text style: 9th item;
- Text: Construction (type "under" before or choose your own text);
- Font size: Normal;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: C06000;
- Get as a transparent PNG file: unchecked;
- Font name: Bombardier.

Making exactly as proposed, you create an amazing text effect as you can see below (click to enlarge):


Extra tips:
- this effect can be generated with an anti-aliased transparent background (select the "Get as a transparent PNG file" option);
- that subtle dirty look helps to improve a "men at work" atmosphere;
- beware too dark background colors can decrease the 3D look, because they make the shadows harder to see;
- if you intend to try other fonts, prefer the very regular ones;
- you can create countless realistic 3D texts by trying these free online 3D text effects.
