Transparent Fonts

[Chris OhM]

Hey all- brand new and I’m loving what I’ve seen! Can anyone tell me if there are any transparent fonts similar to the 3D effects? I know how to make the background transparent, that’s not my issue. I want to use an existing gradient banner and have the text to be transparent so that my gradient shows through. My desired goal looks pretty good using the 3D Long Shadow effect but I wasn’t sure if there were more options that might work. Any info would be awesome!
Thanks!

Firstly, you could like to know that you need to post just once. Your post will be visible just after accepted by a group moderator, so you need to wait. It is needed to avoid spam.

Concerning your doubt, I understood that you want the text itself being semi-transparent. The only text effect generator that offers semi-transparent text is this one:

Apologies for the double post.  I have never used Groups before.  I will try your suggestion along with the results I have had from setting the Long Shadow effect with "draw shadow only" that allows a completely transparent text result.  It actually looks pretty great after I tinkered around with the settings.  Many thanks for your reply along with suggestions!
