Depth Maps On Extrusions Edit: Photoshop CC

Hi everyone!

 

I've been experimenting with depth maps on textures on the letter I.

I can create the depth map for the front face of the letter (both as text and rasterized).

But I want the end result to be an extruded I with the effect created by the depth map on each surface of the letter.

 

I can apply the depth map to the face, seperately I can extrude the I, but is there a way to apply the same depth map to the sides of the extrusion?

 

Many thanks in advance!

Hi All

 

Thank you for your replies, I'll be honest, I don't think I phrased the question quite right!

 

Basically, want I want to achieve is: A 3D model of the letter with 3d textures on all sides. I.e not just a 'rock' effect flat on the surfaces like in this picture, but 3d effect on all surfaces. Then for it to be a 3D model that I can use in other software to animate.

 

Many thanks

Hi Chana

 

Thanks for the reply, I've used the text, and then rasterized the letter I, Then I applied a texture to it through the fx tab. Then created 'Mesh From Depth Map' on 'Plane' That gives me the desired effect I want, however, what I want for the end result is for it to be an extruded 'I' with the Depth Map effect on all sides of the letter.

 

I know how to create the 3d Extrusion for it. But I can't figure out if/how to then have the Depth Map effect on the 3d Extrusion.

 

Many thanks
