The green is a little too bright and too yellow. Wash it out some, then it'll be great.

Yeah, the yellow is a bit wrong, change it to white for the ultimate matrix style. :nod:

How did you get so much text on the picture.  I know how to make all those glowing effects but no clue how you got so much text.

Pretty cool, dude! I had to cheat when making this for fun - grabbed the text BG off of the matrix posters online, but it's still cool. Revolution Media is the company I work for, BTW.

Hmmm, on second thought, I'll link to a new thread - no need to derail Windrunner's thread here. :)

its not so mutch about text its about using the right filter. In PS7 i used Filter > Texture > Grain to get the desired effect of the so called text.

It's not bad, but here are a few things:
-Use letters instead of rectangles.
-Put just a little glow. Don't mess up with it too much.
-Make the core white not yellow but don't make the green part too big.
-Don't make all the letters the same size. Make some bigger and some smaller. The matrix code is in 3d not 2d.

Original Matrix code was numbers and Japanese characters, both backwards.
