dude, if it were production or something I gave a hoot about, I'd have worried about matching light source and shadow, but since it was a POC (proof of concept), taking me ~30-60 seconds to throw together ... satisfaction with end product may vary :D :p


I bet you use the same excuse when you wife says she is not satisfied

Slippy, your light direction for the embossing looks like it was top right, going to bottom left? If so, it's out of kilter with the tag itself, which is bottom left to top right. (more or less)

I've messed about with it - attached PSD and Output Gif.... embossing is easy... tweaking things with tricks are things you learn over time with photoshop....

Ye I figured they might use Bevel and Emboss on their design, if you look @ Battlelog is basically all over it.
Hate that effect though (personal opinon).
Just seems that the Battlelog is a very rushed job, quick simple effects applied and will be disappointed if the Dog Tags are the same.
Thanks for the help though, should have this project (pitch) ready by the end of the night.
I'll post a link here for you guys to see, maybe add comments for me :biggrin:

Ok cool, now you know how to emboss, find a couple to tutorials on how the create a pattern overlay! Then emboss the type and then use the pattern overlay.

that should give you the effect you looking for, you might have to play around with the brush types and styles to create the correct type of pattern.

hope this helps.

I believe the engrave effect is called emboss.
