not bad. i think there should be snow, or some ice around the letters on the ground.

Thanks VT. I was going to add some snow in the foreground but went with slick black floor instead.
I wanted a cool looking reflection in there. I should have added some puddles on the floor though.
Maybe next time.
I think you could make some pretty cool looking ice cubes this way too.

sry but nothing beats Davids old, but still amazing Ice Text/Cube Tutorial

[David Wood]

Thanks VT. First thing to do would be erase the icicles on the bottom of the text, second fix the reflection, and third would be giving the floor a reflective surface.

The icicles on the reflection face the wrong direction. They should go up instead because it's mirrored on the floor.

i dont even see icycles in the reflection

LOL i believe i forgot to flip the font.That is funny.
Mostly the tutorial was directed towards using the plasma filter for the inside part of the ice.

you should make a tutorial on how to chnage the Index of refraction like one would do in 3D programs. So that you can outline a square and then it would be a lil distorted and glass like looking.
