Black Hole Tutorial

Step 1
http://www.gfxvoid.com/tutorials/blackhole/2.gif
Create a new image (Mine was 400x250). Fill background with black. Render two lens flare's with the above settings.

Step 2

Go into the twirl filter and use the above settings.

Step 3

Duplicate the Layer. Press CTRL+U, check colorize and colorize to a color of your liking. I used a dark purple.

Step 4

On your new layer, go into the radial blur filter and use the above settings.

Step 5

Double Click your layer, and change the blending mode to linear (or color) dodge. I suggest you experiment with this. If you select darken you will get a totally different, and cool effect

wicked tutorial man, i'm liking the outcome. very good job.

If you use lighter colors, I suggest you try doing a 'darken' blend, it comes out a lot cooler (very plastic-like). Thanks for the comment =).

You like those lens flares dont u tacoX :P
Very nice effect though.

That looks amazing dude. I like it how it starts from very bright, and goes down to almost dark.

woah nice tut taco again :D

I love your tutorials cuz they're all based on lens flares... my favorite thing to use

that end result is sweet, too

I am amazed with what you can do starting with lens flares....i'll try using some other filrters on it and see what i get :D

nice but i think that this looks better then the final product :http://www.gfxvoid.com/tutorials/blackhole/4.gif

holy mother of horny pigbangers.... i could have fun with this 1

10/10

nice effect, can tell u like flares

Sorry, it's nog ugly but it is to easy, i think that the most people know how to make this.

hey...wirdlo tut i don't think that i like it much because it is very very simpe.Also has alot of black at the backround.If u could find a way to move that black and place some other colour instend of that there it could be nice
:P

sweet!

I did this tutorial, but changed some stuff. Here's what I did:

8. Merge the two layers, then duplicate the background layer again.
9. On that layer, go Filter>Distort>Twirl with the angle at -860.
10. Set that layer mode to screen, merge the two, and duplicated background again.
11. Control-click the duplicated layer and go Edit>Copy.
12. Go to File>New and keep the same settings.
13. Paste the picture onto the blank area.
14. Then do Image>Rotate Canvas>90 CW.
15. Control-Click the layer, and copy it. Go back to your original image.
16. Create a new layer. Paste the picture, and set that layers' mode to lighten. Merge all layers.

Extra: I duplicated the layer once more to make it brighter, and then merged the layers.

Here's what I got:

RAb B)

Looks great. Might benefit from a duplication of the layer and then rotating or fliping it. Set the duplicated layer to something like lighten or soft light.
