Use software: Photoshop CS
Technical points and ideas: convert the text into a shape and edit the local nodes with the path tool, which can make a more personalized font appearance.
Make more changes by using the path calculation of the shape layer, and then use the channel and brush to make a complex selection, and use a light rendering filter and a texture channel to make a three-dimensional effect. I hope that the production method in this example can bring you more enlightenment in special effects production.
Finally complete the picture (1)

Special effect production method:
1. Create a new blank file of 500 × 500 pixels, set the foreground color to light gray, type the text, and set the text size. (Shown in Figure 3)

2. Perform Layer / Type / Convert to Shape on the text layer to convert the text layer into a vector layer. (Shown in Figure 4)
Figure 4
3. Use the pen tool to re-edit the outline path shape of the text. (Shown in Figure 5)
Figure 5
4. Switch to the rounded rectangle shape tool, select the trimming mode on the status bar, draw a rounded rectangle, and subtract it from the original text shape. (Shown in Figure 6)

5. Switch to the path selection tool, select the rounded rectangular path, hold down the ALT key and drag to quickly copy, then hold down the SHIFT key to add the original rounded rectangular path, select vertical center alignment on the status bar. (Shown in Figure 7)

6. Hold down the CTRL key and click the path mask after the vector layer to float the selection. Go to the channel panel and click the mask icon to create a new channel. (Shown in Figure 8)

7. Select a hard-edged round brush head, set the foreground color to black, and click the channel image to form two circles. Draw a path with the pen tool and set the Spacing of the brush to a minimum of 1%, which will result in a smoother stroke. (Figure 91, shown in Figure 10)

8. Set the Stroke Path tool as a brush in the triangle menu in the path panel. You can also click the quick command icon under the path panel to perform the stroke path operation. You can try again and again and adjust the path to get the most satisfactory results. (Shown in Figure 11)

9. Continue to use the brush stroke path method combined with the free painting of the brush to draw more decorations. (Shown in Figure 12)

10. Copy the channel, perform Gaussian Blur on the copy, 5 pixels, and then execute Gaussian Blur Filter again 3 times, the values ​​are 3, 2, 1, respectively, to obtain a smooth blur effect. (Figure 13, Figure 14)

Figure 14
11. Hold down the CTRL key to select channel 1 and float the selection. Go to the Layers panel, hide the original shape layer, create a new layer, and fill it with 30% gray (shown in Figure 15). And execute the rendering / light rendering filter, and select the channel 1 copy of the blur just selected for the texture channel. At this time, the text in the picture produced a three-dimensional effect. (Shown in Figure 16)

12. Return to channel 1, use the magic wand tool to hold down the SHIFT key and select the black parts processed by brush in turn. (Shown in Figure 17)
Figure 17
13. Go to the Layers panel, create a new layer, use the brush tool, select a different foreground color, and paint in the selection area. (Shown in Figure 18)
Figure 18
14. Perform the layer style on the layer processed by the brush, the first is the relief. (Shown in Figure 19)
Figure 19
15. The second is the improved internal light pattern. (Shown in Figure 20)
Figure 20
16. For the selection of floating channel 1, add a layer below the text layer as a shadow, fill it with 50% gray, Gaussian blur, and set the layer blending mode. (Figure 21, Figure 22)
Figure 21
Figure 22
17. Perform a slight Gaussian blur on the gold text layer to soften the text boundary. (Shown in Figure 23)
Figure 23
18. Hold down the CTRL key and click on the gold text layer to float the selection, add a curve adjustment layer, and adjust the curve to a W shape to form a strong metallic texture. (Shown in Figure 24)
Figure 24
19. Float the selection of the gold text layer again, add a saturation adjustment layer, check the colored check box, and perform overall coloring. (Shown in Figure 25)
Figure 25
20. Add a pattern fill layer to increase the background texture to form a texture contrast. (Figure 26, Figure 27)
Figure 26
Figure 27
21. Create a new layer, use the star-shaped brush to process the highlight points, and then use a white soft-edged brush of about 10% to gently draw the star-shaped highlight neutral glow. (The overall highlight point should not be too much, it is enough). (Shown in Figure 28)
