Liquid Photoshop Effect

[Karlotta Neifert]

Iwas wondering if anyone could help me. So I've been trying to make a liquid metal effect in photoshop and I'm having some trouble. I wanted to know if anyone had any idea on how to achieve this effect similar to the image I added. I've searched the internet on tutorials on how to get it done, but nothing comes close. I understand how to make the ripple effect as well as adding the chrome-like effect, but can't get it to be multiple colors like the image added. if anyone could point me in the right direction, that would be amazing! Thanks in advance.

How can I achieve this type of super smooth liquid chrome texture?Is it done with 100% in Photoshop? Have tried this on illustrator with blending tool and bring it on Photoshop, and only use liquify tool on Photoshop but can't get this kind of smooth liquid effect.

It's too complex for making an exact copy by starting from a piece of plain text and only inserting effects. At least it's too complex for those of us who have a normal head bone thickness.There are also some random looking twists and noise. A genius maybe could figure out beforehand how to replicate everything with effects.

But some tools can be given for your own explorations. Prepare a piece of black text with white stroke. I have made it in Illustrator because also 3D extrusion is needed and it works there better. It should work well in Photoshop if you have reasonably effective modern PC and recent Photoshop. I unfortunately have now in my hands museum grade stuff.

The light is set to give gradients. Expanding the appearance would create a big amount of new edges because the gradients would be approximated with small single color shapes. I skip it to avoid new uncontrolled features. I paste the shape to a 1000 x 1000 pixels empty image in Photoshop. The shape is pasted as pixels. It can be stretched to the final size before nailing the pasting:

To get more gradient tones the shape can be blurred and merged with the white background layer. Note that I have a spare copy of the original shape because I use destructive effects. The real pro way is to use smart objects and to apply all effects as adjustment layers, layer styles and smart filters. I keep this simple.

Instead of bumpy curves one can as well use gradient maps. Photoshop has edge finding and emphasizing filters for more clear strokes. I skip trying them and stop here. Good luck in your own experiments!

Tutorials on creating metal type abound online, as do variations on simple liquid effects. Most are fairly short, offering a good foundation for the reader on how certain effects are achieved but fail to take that extra step (or few steps) to make the piece really shine. Once you have an idea of how different techniques fit together in a piece, it is fairly easy to combine, say, the process to create metal and the process to create liquid to create something that exists in both sides of the FX map.

I'm Daryll Espaola. I've been working with Secret 6 Inc. and the game industry for about 7 years. I started as a game programmer, then eventually shifted to real-time VFX. I was assigned to an original IP called Project Xandata, where I worked extensively on the VFX. That's where I first started in the specialization and self-studied the craft.

Since I was in college, Unreal Engine has been my main game engine. I remember starting with an early version of UE4. Today, UE5 is incredibly powerful to use. All these new features like Lumen, Niagara, and improved material system boosted the visual look and benefitted real-time VFX artists. Personally, I liked the Cascade system as a Particle System Editor, it is simple and super fast. But the new Niagara system has a more versatile system that unlocks endless possibilities, and it is overall easier to manage (thanks to its improved UI/UX and powerful optimization system).

First, setting up a test level is a must. Make sure that the lighting is good enough to complement your VFX. You can start on a neutral lighting setup (not too warm or too cold) with just the right amount of exposure (not too bright or not too dark). I tend to use clean grayish backgrounds to prioritize the look of the VFX above anything.

I use the Level Sequencer to simulate Niagara. With VFX art, you have to be able to test it over and over again in a very efficient way. Especially for the one-shot burst effect, it would save you a lot of time on iterations. The most complicated part for me is creating the liquid-like shading, with textures that dissolve smoothly and retain the shape that mimics the organic liquid behavior. To create the texture, I used Photoshop for the alpha mask and went through a lot of trial and error before ending up with a few shapes that I liked.

The dissolving part is tested mainly with the level adjustment. I have to adjust the black-and-white values to dissolve the texture smoothly, and to make sure it has a good amount of details when it lingers. After I created the alpha mask, I then bring it over to Substance 3D Designer and use the alpha mask to sample a normal map.

There are three separate assets that I created and combined in a single blueprint actor. The first is the actual explosion, which is a Niagara asset and consists of a spherical burst behavior. In this explosion, I layered four emitters, one with a shape that could form a distinct organic silhouette when populated. Two is a thicker layer to add volume to the effect. Third, small liquid drops, and lastly, burst smoke for the micro details.

Liquid Displacement Maps is a pack of 50+ PSD files designed to be used as displacement maps. Each displacement map was made to give a liquid paint effect to your shape, images or text layers in Photoshop.
