Hell Tunnel Tutorial

Here I will show you how to make a portal that looks dark and hounted and junk like that.

1. Create a New Document. Any size is fine.

2. Set your Background Color to black and your Foreground color to red (I used #CC000)

3. Apply the Difference Clouds Filter, Filter-->Render-->Difference Clouds. Reapply (Ctrl+F) as many times as desired until you get something you like.

4. Then apply the Pinch filter. Filter-->Distort-->Pinch. Make sure you set the amount to -100%. Reapply 3-4 times.

5. Make a perfectly circular selection by holding Shift while you drag the eliptical marquee tool. Make this in the center of the picture.

6. The go to Filter-->Distort-->Spherize and set the amount to 100%

7. Go back to the pinch filter (Filter-->Distort-->Pinch) and set the amount to 100% and reapply until you notice that everything converges in the center of the "hole".

Your done. I'll upload a pic of what it should turn out like soon

I really was too lazy to try it out and wanted to see if i could get a rough image by seeing your explanation... but better try it out, too confusing. will post mine up later


is this what you mean :

well, it is kinda basic, but i think it will do well for beginners ... well... i guess, just submit more tuts mate!

meh, dont really like the effect, really plain and could be done easier, good for beginners i guess.

Effect isn't interesting :huh:...

i like it

prob is a good introduction to the pinch effect, i guess.. every tut has its own purpose.. maybe you can try to do a little of a adjustments and make it into something like a CD? or maybe. you can try to distort it a little, somehow ( dont ask me how) and make, somehow, a whirlpool

its alright.. i guess

its....boring? i dunno its not inspiring me to do it
:unsure:
