Hi..! I have a rasterized text layer in wich I´ve made a lot of 3D config and extrude. Now, I added a Second layer and I need it to have the same 3D properties applied in the First layer... How can I copy those parameters from the first layer to the others..? THANKS!!!

In the image above, the First layer contains the TARM letters and the Second layer, the JUDG letters...

    Hi, Dave..!! "it just needs an additional step"... Wich step was that..!?!?!?!? jajajaja

    Could you please re´send me the file..? THANKS!!!!!!!!!


    Hi Eduardo

    I deleted your file after doing the above. See if you can follow this , if not I'll do it again and repost.

    After taking the steps in post 6, but before rendering.

    Highlight the Front Inflation material for the new lettering in the 3D panel.

    Now in properties next to Diffuse click on the little folder and , choose New Texture.

    Enter the dimensions the same size as your image.

    The empty texture will open with a UV map for your new lettering.

    From the main document click and drag the layer you marked as "New to be extruded" into the texture and size it so it sits on the UV map of the letters. Then save it.

    Go to the bevel material and in properties change it to use the same texture as above.

    That is it - you can now render

    Like I said if you have trouble with those steps shout out and I will download your file again and repeat the exercise

    Hello maybe a bit late on your #D duplicating but this is how I do it that gaurantees the procedure- not rocket science as it's appearing to be. Select the text and go into Appearance. Click on the 3D effect applied and simply write down all the specifications (on paper) then go back to the text you want to copy the same data that you wrote down for the first text. Done. Why write a novel about it when it takes just a minute to apply the effect to another text. You're welcome.

    您可以直接将文字图层生成3D，然后复制该图层，仅仅需要更改这个图层上面的文字即可。

    Hi

    You can do this two ways. I assume you started with a text layer , which you extruded

    1. To end up with separate 3D layers

    Duplicate the 3D layer.

    Select the object in the 3D panel for the duplicated layer

    Go to the properties panel and click on Edit Source

    This will open a psb file with the text. Change the text to the new text and save.

    You now have a new 3D layer identical to the old - but with the new text

    Both share the same view so will need to adjust one or both of them so they don't overlap

    This makes both visible but they are on independent layers so don't really interact

    2. A better way (in my opinion) is to have both sets of letters on the same 3D layer

    To do that

    Right click on the object in the 3D panel and choose duplicate object

    This gives a new model in the same 3D layer - with same properties as the original

    Click on the new duplicate model and in the properties panel Edit Source

    Change the letters and save

    Move the new and old model (in the same 3D space) to place them how you want them - then render

    I hope that helps you

      Hi, Dave..! First of all, THANKS for taking the time..!

      I tried our suggestions, but couldn´t do it right...

      In both cases, I made the layer copying... The psb file appeared. I changed the content, but couldn´t see the extrusion or else. I saved it and closed the psb file. Got back to the original psd file, but the new layer didn´t have the extrusion nor the properties of the original one...

      Here´s the psd file:

      What am I doing wrong..?

      Hi

      I opened you file and with just the 3D "Layer A selected"

      I went to the 3D panel and duplicated the object you had named "TEMINATOR 2 COPY" by right clicking on it and selecting Duplicate objects".

      This gave me a new object called TERMINATOR 2 copy 1

      I went into the properties panel and clicked on Edit Source. This opened the psb file.

      I replaced the words with those from your "judge e  d y"  layer by dragging that layer across from the main file into the psb and turning off the original layer in the psb

      I then closed and saved the psb

      This gave me the new words as an object in the original layer

      Finally I moved both up so they were above the groundplane and rendered

      If you need both to sit on the ground and have shadows directly under them, just move the second object up, bring it forward and scale it to make it the right size as viewed.
