Transformers the movie is by far the best movie ever created this year. Here’s something for the transformers fans - Creating Transformers and autobots & decepticons icons in Photoshop.
Downloading Transformers Fonts
Before getting started into the design, I surf around The Internet looking for similar Transformers fonts. Here is the closest I can get. Download this font and have them installed first.
1. Writing Transformers and Racterized it
Create a new canvas at your preferred size; I’m using 420×250px. Fill it up with black background, write “Transformers” with SF TransRobotics font downloaded just now and centralized it.
Right click on the text layer and select Rasterized type
2. Creating Similarities
Highlight the bottom of "T" and "F" with Maquee Tool, hold Alt and keep pressing Arrow down to increase the length of both these alphabets.
3. Metal-rized the font
Right click on layer’s Blending Options, and adjust the following style.
Inner Glow
Bevel and Emboss
Color Overlay
Color code: #31464F
Gradiant Overlay
Color Stop 1: #000000, Location: 0%
Color Stop 2: #90999d, Location: 100%
Pattern Overlay
4. A little Glow
Hold Ctrl, left click on the Transformer text’s layer thumbnail to highlight the selection. Create a new layer, select G radiant Tool and draw across from left to right as illustrated in the image above. Change the blend mode to Overlay and adjust Opacity to 50%. Your final product will look something like this.
5. Autobots and Decepticons
SF TransRobotics font’s "<" and ">" draws the logo for Autobots and Decepticons. What you need to do is copy the layer style from "Transformers" and paste it on the logos layers.
Expand the layer, and click on the eye of Gradient Overlay once to hide it. Your final Autobot and Decepticons logo will look something like this.

ONLY THING THAT SUCKS ABOUT THIS TUTORIAL IS THAT U HAVE TO HAVE THAT PATTERN TO MAKE IT WORK.. OTHER WISE ITS IMPOSSIBLE.. IT WUD BE HELPFUL IF U POST A LINK TO WHERE TO GET THE PATTERN IF U DONT HAVE IT
Replyhongkiat July 9th, 2007
joe: if you read the guide through enough (in Pattern Overlay section), you’ll notice this is actually a default pattern in photoshop. the name of the pattern is call stucco 2 btw.
Replyericdee July 9th, 2007
i dont have stucco 2 on my photoshop(cs3) either. gonna see if i cant hunt it down on the net. thanks for tut though. seems promising if i can get that pattern.
Replyericdee July 9th, 2007
found the textures that are supposed to come standard with ps, including the “stucco 2″ that we are looking for.
download it here:

open the psd or jpg files and use EDIT>DEFINE PATTERN to add them to your list of patterns
Replybigdogg July 9th, 2007
hey, great tut. I had one question though, I may have overlooked it by accident but I’ve looked through the tut several times, when on the pattern step what scale did you use on the stucco?
Replynemupa July 10th, 2007

Replysiong1987 July 10th, 2007

The Stucco 2 pattern in my Adobe Photoshop CS2 had to be added manually first. Its in the .PAT file called Texture Fill 2. This link will explain to you how to perform the necessary steps to enable/add the pattern.

Replyrohonnag October 24th, 2007
guys are you dumb ?????
the texture in question is in texture fill2 , DEAFULT present in photoshop, all you have to do it load it…. if you dont know there are other textures than the defualt few (build in)since photoshop 7 , you guys dont deserve to be on this page….
good job on the tutorial.. really helpful.. not to mention you can keep the text vector and edit it .. no need to rasterize it at alll
