TUTORIAL: a cosmic light text effect

Let's make something different. It's a light text effect, but the letters are emitting an unusual light, like something from space.

Make this one by going to this online light text effect, so entering these parameters values:
- Text: COSMIC (choose as you need);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 5;

Extra tips:
- one of the features that makes this effect so interesting is: the letters have a nice illumination inside that matches very well the light going outside;

It can be made by using this online 3D text maker, but pay attention now: this is an advanced and very powerful tool, so it has many interface options to use. Here I show just the items you need to change to get the proposed effect.
- Text: Golden Text (set as desired);

- Depth color: 808000;
- Font name: Amerika Sans.

Extra tips:
- I set a brown background because it matches the golden colors and highlights them. Anyway, this effect can be nice with many different back colors;
- don't use too complex font faces, because it's not worthy. You get a cleaner, more readable and more beautiful text if you set a simpler font;
- other variant you could like to try: use the bright color as the depth color and the darker color in the font face. Anyway, beware the used configuration makes the text seems be made of a brighter material;
- generate many amazing 3D text effects by using this advanced professional 3D text generator.
