How to create a 3D cyborg text effect

Let's create an amazingly realistic robotic text effect. In this case, we use it to make a cyborg text effect.

Start by navigating to that free realistic 3D robotic text maker, so configure it like this (don't modify the shadow values):
- 3D text style: 6th option;
- Text: CYBORG (choose yours);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: 202020;
- Get as a transparent PNG file: unchecked;
- Font name: Young at heart.

That values generate this interesting graphic text (click to see it bigger):


Extra tips:
- this effect can be made with an anti-aliased transparent background (select the "Get as a transparent PNG file" item);
- I prefer this effect in particular with dark backgrounds;
- always use this effect with a serious geometric font face to improve the mood of something robotic;
- you can generate many 3D outstanding technological texts by using these free online 3D text effect creators.

A splash water text effect

What about creating an amazing fresh splash text effect? We will use a software that was developed specially to generate water effects.
You need to open the water renderer software at this free online water text effect page and set its parameters like this:
- Water style: 3rd option;
- Text: SPLASH! (type as you prefer);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: 000000;
- Font name: You are what you eat.

That's the outstanding water text we create (click to enlarge):


Extra tips:
- don't select too "serious" or perfectly geometric font faces for this since we are rendering splash water;
- in my opinion, black is the best background this time, but feel free to try other options (the most natural ones would be white or blue);
- anyone is able to create many awesome water text effects by using this full featured water text maker.

A diabolic Halloween text effect

Halloween is already coming this year. Let's celebrate creating an amazing 3D infernal text efffect.

To do it by yourself, open this free online 3D text creator and configure it this way (you don't need to change the shadow related values):
- 3D text style: 6th option;
- Text: HALLOWEEN;
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: A00000;
- Get as a transparent PNG file: unchecked;
- Font name: MB Forever Raw.

If you executed the steps so far, you have the result image shown below. Save it to be used next.


Now here comes our final step. Open this very useful Online Image Editor. In the left side menu, choose "Colorization". In the next page, select the first option (the right side image is red). Set the text we just saved as input image and press "Calculate Effect". Next you see the image we get, and that's our final text effect.


Extra tips:
- you must have your intermediary result as JPG to be used it as input in the image editor;
- the free text generator used before sends you a PNG image, so I suggest you use this Online Image Converter to turn the saved PNG file into a JPG;
- be sure not select the transparent background option in the text maker. Since we need to save that image as a JPG, it would just disturb the whole process;
- you can create a lot of awesome 3D scaring texts by using these free online 3D text effect makers.
