Thanks so much Olivio for the cool shadow effect uses! You help me think outside the box of what a feature or effect is labeled. Quick 3D like font effects while still using 1 layer. Awesome!

Hi Olivio. These are fabulous techniques for creating 3D text. Yet more tools for the digital toolbox!

You are welcome, Christoper. Feel free to share other "abuses" of effects and filter if you want. I will gladly work them into another "tricks from my community" video. :)

One I modified from Affinity Revolution tip was taking the "make a picture into a drawing" effect and continue to 'hollow out' the traced image. Then use full color version as a mask reference, copy the background with CTL-J, then do blur effects on that over-laid background piece. After all that playing around with gradients over 3 layers (Trace hollow, trace, full color, all copies of same model alpha) I had a 'spy' pose model fading to half crystal invisibility/cloak. I'll post details when I get a chance.
