A grunge gothic text effect

Today we create a nice 3D text effect. It has a grunge appearance and uses a gothic font face.

To make this effect you need to open this free 3D grunge text editorand after you should configure it this way (let the shadow data with default values):
- 3D text style: 1st option;
- Text: Gothic (choose yours);
- Font size: Big;
- Margin: 4;
- Background color: FFE0B0;
- Get as a transparent PNG file: unchecked;
- Font name: Blackletter.

Making like that, you get a very nice graphic text (click to view it bigger):

Extra tips:
- this effect can be generated with transparent background (check the "Get as a transparent PNG file" option);
- if you want to keep the gothic look, I suggest you don't change the font face;
- select a back color as you prefer, but remember: very dark backgrounds hide the external shadows;
- you can create a lot of amazing grunge text effects by using these online free 3D text generators.
