Basically, all I need for a sun is a yellow ball with a smiley face.
But, seriously, great tut. I've seen trickier uses of Shape3D, but hey, what else can you do for a sphere?
The final result, carrying a bit more impact as well, looks kind of like when red food coloring (or, for you desolate people out there, blood) is dropped into liquid, forming those letters. Very well done. Favorited, and a dedication to doing it.
*sigh* Is your real name Edward? Wouldn't be surprised.
Anyways, great tut! I'm not much of a Twilight fan myself, but this will suuuure come in handy! Bookmarked!
I shall be a Vampire. Rawr.
