Movie Effect

Hello everyone....

I caught a movie on Satruday (dawn fo the dead, pretty good) and something was bugging me throughout the whole movie. :rolleyes:

Actually it was a preview (Troy) before the main movie that was the problem. I just wanted to grab CS and try to make that type effect.

Here is the trailer, you'll notice the font fly by at the very end of the trailer.

I'm not trying to do a font flyby, nor am I trying to replicate the static effect on the webpage.

I just attempting to recreate the font effect IN the flyby.

I know how to make it beveled hard an gold but I cannot seem to get the edges like a sharpned axe or sword. Perhaps a texture or some style I'm not mixing? ;)

Any advice is apprecated
Thanks

All I can really think (apart from good font choice) is to use chisel hard as your bevel rather than the other options.

Hermit,

The letters look very textured, maybe a brushed metal gold color.

I'm learning maya but this is beyond my skill at the moment.

Think I'll give the texture a try.
