Hello ladies and gentlemans , and merry christmast to everybody :)

i want to share an radiation text effect :) let's start

 

STEP 1

 

Start a new image and add your text, assuming white text on black background. Center the text and make sure you have a decent margine around it for the rays to go.

STEP 2

 

 

With the lower, white text layer selected, apply a Polar Coordinate conversion. Go to Filter>Distort>Polar Coordinates... Accept that the layer will be rasterized. Set it to convert from Polar to Rectangular.

STEP 3

 

Since we want rays of light, we can achieve this effect with Wind. But because Wind only goes side to side, we need to rotate our canvas. Go to Image>Rotate Canvas>90 CW.

STEP 4

 

 

Apply Filter>Stylize>Wind..., Method Wind, Direction From the Right. Apply it again, in the other direction. Rotate back like in step 3 and apply the Wind filter again in each direction.
