Hey guys, I am new here and I need some help for my watermark on my upcoming videos on my new youtube channel. So I need help adding a 3D basketball by the letter "X". Can someone help me step by step? Thanks in advance. :lol:
This is the basketball I need by the "X" including the shadow




This is my watermark

Is the Photoshop grid part of your watermark? If not, upload the psd file or save the WM as a no background png and upload it.

View attachment nbahq.psd right here, and I forgot to include that the basketball size should be small, like half of the size of the letter "X" including the shadow.

Hey NBAmix,

I opened your PNG file and the basketball image.

I then moved the basketball into the PSD file using the move tool and dragging to the tab.

I then used Cmd/Cntrl + T to enter the transform function. You may have to zoom out to see the handles (cmd/cntrl + 0).
I held down the shift key and sized the b-ball down by dragging a corner handle. Click the check mark or hit enter to accept the changes.

I then duplicated the B-ball layer and named it B-ball reflection. I then went to EDIT > TRANSFORM > FLIP VERTICAL. Using the move tool, I moved the flipped b-ball reflection into position. I then reduced it's opacity to suit.

This is saved as a PNG..........it's transparent but it's allowing the BG of the forum to show through.



Another thing I did (optional), is I Cmd/cntrl + clicked the B-ball reflection layer thumbnail to create a selection. I then highlighted the "NBA HQ Mix" reflection layer, and I hit delete. Cmd/cntrl +D. This stops that reflection from showing through the Basketball reflection.

May I just add, it is more of a reflection than a shadow.
