This text effect works best on types rendered at fairly large size. The effect displays the surface of the text with a stylish weave-like criss-crossed pattern. The weave pattern can be thin or dense to suit your design requirements.

You can specify the color and opacity (degree of transparency) of the weave pattern to blend the text to your web page or graphic design. The rendered text can be placed on either a plain color or another background pattern. With many combinations of font choices, pattern or gradient overlays, this single effect is very flexible to give your design unlimited potential.

What gives the text its three- dimensional depth appearance is the careful placement of the drop shadow. Here you can choose the drop shadow color, size, and distance from its source object to simulate the location of the light source. The larger the drop shadow size, the blurrier its appearance is.
