ThinkWithABossMind 0 Report post Posted August 18, 2005 I took it upon myself to make visual instructions, its alot easier to understand. ok start out with a clean WHITE background you foreground color should be black. and background color should be a dark green (I use #14B908, but u can use any NEON GREEN looking color, you want something bright) go to FILTER>Texture>GRAIN make sure grain type is VERTICAL intensity=100 contrast=48 next step we go to FILTER>artistic>NEON GLOW the GLOW COLOR should be something darker (I use #185403) glow size= -11 glow brightness=34 hit OK and SUPRISE...the matrix reveals its secrets before your very monitor then you just throw in some flashy letters a picture of Neo or something...and there you go. remember kids...when in doubt THINK WITH A BOSS MIND lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

twitch 0 Report post Posted October 27, 2005 Great tutorial. Although, isn't the matrix numbers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vujsa 0 Report post Posted November 1, 2005 Actually, the matrix numbers aren't numbers either. From what I can tell, they are Japanese characters with some of them misoriented and whatnot. The is a slight posibility that chinese characters were used but to the best of my recolection, Japanese katakana was used. There may have been a few hirogana characters used as well. Additionally, the writting moved in an up and down motion further suggesting an asian language. I might be able to guide someone through the process of using Japanese fonts on their windows systems if they are interested. Hope this helps. vujsa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Well, I just got a related PM about this post so I thought I should update the topic. I did write a tutorial on the installation of East Asian Fonts on your Windows System.http://forums.xisto.com/topic/87355-topic/?findpost=1064328218In order to use Japanese in PhotoShop, open a new text layer in PS and then follow the instructions in the following tutorial.http://forums.xisto.com/topic/90469-topic/?findpost=1064349941Hope this helps. vujsa Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wtjy1380 0 Report post Posted April 13, 2007 lol. i created this effect before, and i was too lazy to get japanese fonts. =PSo instead, i went into notepad, opened a picture file (i used .jpg). There will be a huge chunk of weird words. Just extract a part of them and paste it and rearrange the fonts so that they are vertical. Doesn't exactly look like the matrix's words, but hey, improvisation is fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
