Glass Ball - Quite hard.

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...

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.

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.

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
