Chrome Ice Cubes

Chrome Ice Cubes

[1] Create a blank square white canvas, I’m using 500 x 500 for this one.

- Press the letter ‘D’ on your keyboard to reset the colour palettes. http://img205.imageshack.us/img205/4...alette12no.jpg

- And then select the Custom Shape tool on the tools window.

- Make sure these settings are entered

- Draw about 5 random pentagons on your blank canvas.

[2] Flatten the layers so that they are all one layer. Go to the top tool bar and select Layer > Flatten Image

You should have one layer now.

[3] Select Filter > Blur > Radial Blur

Your canvas should then look like this...

[4] Select Filter > Sketch > Chrome

Use the default inputs

And there you have some kool looking ice cubes

You can mess around with the settings, colours and shapes and you'll find that you get several variations but all equally impressive.

it's a very great tut ^_^

pretty cubes

Frikkin neato effect, I just made a wallpaper for my aston shell with it, using a coloured overlay, giving it an icy blue colour.

Anyhow. I'm new to the whole PS thing (I use PS7). I am trying to learn to do some of the neater things I see others doing.


When you guys make banners and forum sigs, etc, how do you take the pictures you have in there, and cut them out so neatly? I managed to do something, but it took me like half an hour.

I still suck at this whole cut out renders thing, but I think there are tutorials on the forums... just search for em. If not, google is also your friend. ^^

Finally one that turned out...lol I have BADDDD luck with tutorials usually...
I have no idea how to insert the image though.
thank you for an easy to follow tutorial.

hey thats cool good tut

1st. use the wond tool and select the white,
