Space Vortex Tutorial

[8raker]

Hey all! I registered to post this. This is my first tutorial so please don't be harsh.
Feedback is welcome. This will create a vortex kind of like the "Vortec Space" background in Windows XP.
Here is a screenshot of what it may look like:

If you want it to look awesome just follow these steps exactly.

Follow these steps:

1. Create an image 500x500(can change), with a white background.

2. Filter>Render>Clouds

3.Filter>Blur>Radial Blur(Amount: 100, Quality: Best, Blur Method: Zoom)

4. Press Ctrl+F, 3 times

5. Filter>Brush Strokes>Sumi-E(Width: 10, Pressure: 2, Contrast: 16)

6.Filter>Distort>Glass(Distortion: 5, Smoothness: 3, Texture: Frosted, Scaling: 100)

7. Filter>Sketch>Chrome(Detail 10, smoothness 0)

8. Filter>Blur>Radial Blur(Blur Method: Zoom, Amount: 100, Quality: best)

9. Press Ctrl+U, check colorize and select your color!


There you go! I hoped you liked it.

Thanks! I have not posted this anywhere else. I am pretty sure my method is original though. It allows for more customization i believe. I might submit it to some places.

Its a very cool effect, thanks much for submitting it! I have seen variations of this (creating a very similar effect), multiple times.

Cool, thanks much!
