How can I create text with ‘Gradient’ colours and lighting that look like the two in this picture.

Hi BenSCR,

Please have a look at the file below:

To create those, there are a few areas to know, like the S, C1, C2, R1, and R2 pre-set selections. (See Extrude>Selections)
Then how to set up gradients and perhaps pick the colors from a given image.
To know about projections and especially UV(W) mapping is helpful with no doubt.

If you create a UV Map, you could set all the colors in Photoshop. The example above used just Gradient shaders (plus the Layer).

I don’t see any need for light here. If you have a video clip, that might explain the requirements for light.
Let me know what I miss.

All the best

These are great!!!

The file I’ve downloaded from you, say’s I’m missing some ‘Plug-ins’. What could they be?

Sorry about that, BenSCR.

Here is the one without any plug-in. However, the missing plug-in has no influence. It was the CV-Toolbox: CV-Art-Smart - to copy and paste from Ai (Illustrator).

Thanks for the nice feedback.
Enjoy.

Thanks 👍🏼

Thanks again, BenSCR, you’re very welcome.

My best wishes!
