i love the outcome! :D

the shadow needs a little work tho :p

The point was the ball, not the shadow lol!

That's really, really cool.

Nice job. I love the effect.

I'm going to have to try that.

Nice real nice.

Not sure on the shadow, looks abit like an after thought ,Sorry

Wow, nice tut. The shadow looks a bit big, but the tutorial's on the ball, so it's okay. Nice one =D

haha everyone needs to relax and give the man a break on his shadow.. He obviously wasnt trying to make a perfect shadow, his point was to make a glass ball and show everyone how to do it. lol

My hat is off my friend, great job!

I remember seeing a tutorial like this in the PC photoshop mag or maybe it was the adobe one...cant remember but still really awesome effect although I dont understand half of what to do on this tut.

where the fuck is the 3d transform tool. fuckin shit.

^^what he said where the hell is that tool in CS2?

Hm. If you have the goodies disc (Disc 5 in the full CS2 suite, I think. Maybe disc 4/6) the plugin's on that. if you just have a PS disc, it should be on that. However, I've uploaded it for you. Aren't I nice?

Click me! I'm a lovable little link...

EDIT: To install, download that file to your photoshop filters folder: #PHOTOSHOPROOT#\Plug-Ins\Filters - replace #PHOTOSHOPROOT# with the photoshop folder - probably going to be C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS2 where C is your main hard disc...

They dont put the 3d transform in the defaulf install, you have to go the resource disc and copy it from the goodies folder in to your CS2 plugins->filters folder then restart CS2, should be under renders now.



Also this tutorial is hard, but also not very clear on what the steps are exactly, could be cleaner for sure.

..I think I'd already answered how to get the 3d transform...

yea i hadnt noticed there was a 2nd page at the time lol

very good tut.

I followed it and it went all good.
Not as nice as yours with the fact that Im still learning photoshop!

I think that the guide could need more expressions tho, sometimes was it difficult to understand what you meant.

i dont know if all of us have the ummm...legal disks...of cs2 :)

Long long time ago in a galaxy far far away I found a tutorial very similar to this and made this.

If i remember correctly the shadow was done by being a lot smaller then spherize the part of the shadow that's "behind" the glass sphere. as well as spherizing everything "inside" the ball.

wow this is nice i tried a similar one and yes it was very hard good tut though:D

LOL that glass ball tutorial was what prompted me to make my own, largely because that glass ball sucked ass. Mine was better i think

wow! damn good man

I'd love to be as good as any of the turorial makers are in this forum ;)

Nice result.. Bad tutorial... Sorry.. Doesn't give very good details on how this effect is done.. ;)

Look, nobody can be perfect :D And i was my first tut!

Eh.. It's OK.. First tutorials are the hardest.. :p Just givin' ya' the idea to make it better.. ;)

*IDEA: Be more clear and give "step-by-step" instructions.
