@Indiemusicianstube Thanks :D

If you drop the text just a little under the grid the effect might be stronger since it would look like the text had melted an dhence the water was there. This was the water is kiond of 'unexplained'..

@Indiemusicianstube Well, it could be explained that the edges aren't sharp, as if it was just taken from the mold, but thanks for the feedback :D

the problem you had with the lines is caused because you didnt remesh the text after converting it.. this would have given you a clean mesh to play with

overall a good tut but i was hoping the text would melt lol

[JosephsPlace]

@stvndysn That makes sense, thanks for the tip :3 Haha, that would be a neat tutorial. . . I'll have to look into that. Thanks for watching~! :D

Thanks a lot for this video, man. Really helped :) One question, though. Do you know how to get rid of the sharp lines that go across the text? Smoothing didn't really work for me. I'm getting a fair bit of it, so any help would be appreciated :)

[JosephsPlace]

@TheAJSystem What sharp lines, exactly? Like when you turn text into a mesh?

[TheAJSystem]

@JosephsPlace They happen after putting the bumps into the text mesh. You start talking about it at 17:28. :)

[JosephsPlace]

@TheAJSystem You tried messing with the different brush types? Theoretically, the smooth brush should smooth it out. You could also try using the grow brush and then smoothing it, to try to get it less noticeable.

[TheAJSystem]

@JosephsPlace I'll give it a shot, thanks :) Also, thanks for the quick replies.

[JosephsPlace]

@TheAJSystem No problem :D Hope it works out for you :D
