Is it possible to get cut out text effect like this using CSS/CSS3 only?

Question

Is it possible to get cut out text effect like this using CSS/CSS3 only? or image is the only option to get this effect.

Answer 1

Yes you can achieve this effect with CSS and text, but it's a little insane. Basically you create a bunch of grey-zero css3 radial and linear gradients with a zero opacity and carefully position them over your text. But you'd be better off doing this in photoshop.
