Here is the goal: Plugins required: Color Distort Gravity Shape3D Smooth Outline Object 1) Open up a blank canvas at 800x600. 2) Click on effects>distort>color distort. Run at these specifications: 3) Run gravity at these settings: 4) Run shape 3D. Don't change anything besides the shape. Set it to a sphere at the half sphere repeat setting. Effects > blur > smooth 5) Now, duplicate the layer and set it to negation. 6) Merge the layer down. 7) Duplicate the layer and set it to multiply. 8)Twist the sphere layer at these settings: 9) Now adjustments > black and white. 10) Duplicate the layer. 11) Use color balance, color balance plus, or even curves, to make the sphere a nice cyan color. Top layer should be a lighter color, the bottom layer a darker color. 12) Set the top layer's blend mode to additive. Merge layer down. 13) Duplicate the layer. 14) On the lower layer, run effects > blur > gaussian blur at 60. 15) On the upper layer, effects > photo > glow at these settings: 16) Duplicate the layer and set the top one to multiply. Merge it down. 17) Now, on a NEW LAYER, use the text tool and write your name in a color similar to the color you set the circle to. Put it in the darker part of the circle. The font I used is Segoe UI Light. 18) Use the rectangle select tool, and drag around it & then use the "Move selected pixels" tool. Right click the box to rotate the text. 19) Effects > Object > Outline Object (the one that has the logo that doesn't look like a Chinese letter) at the following settings (but the color that you used for your text): 20) Now, set a black background and save. Your done!

Deema, what wonderful works you have here! Great themes with one that is sure to please just about everyone. Did you use PDN to put together the images or have you created all of the elements in PDN? Either way you have done a superb job! Good to have you here.

Those rooms are so well done i wouldn't have thought anything but a 3D modeller could produce them, really great stuff!

You've got some really cool stuff there! Everything looks good. Although, if I tried to use some of them, I think I'd probably give up in confusion
