@Mendo: Thanks for the encouragement.
@HELEN: Thanks SO much for the comment, it means a lot to me to have some one this good at PdN say something good about my works.
Thanks you guys!
BTW I admit to using excessive smileys, live with it!

Spelled it wrong...

Thank you Bjarni for the comment and I'm happy I could help you, Georgian.

Gotta have a crack at this sometime, good tut.
I will try to make it more 3D (maybe a marble/spherical shape) but still retain the glow. It's probably really easy, I just gotta look at the steps a little.

@Mendo
I know, which is why I put a W.I.P (Work In Progress) next to it.

Bump. Seriously, what do you think?

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it
EDIT (3/29/2010): Click to view video version of this tutorial!
This tutorial will teach you how to make on orange like this one:
PdN version used:
3.5.1
Plug-ins needed:
Polygones (Yes, I know it's misspelled; part of the MadJik plugin pack)
Okay.
Start out with a new canvas
, 600x600.
Next, add a new layer
and name it Fruit.
Go to 'Ellipse Select' tool
, hold Shift, and make a circle with area between 500x500 and 515x515 (Write down the area, you will need it later)
Set colors
(Hex):
Primary: FFAE00
Secondary: FF7B00
Put a linear gradient
to your fitting from bottom right corner to top left.
Radial Blur
using the default settings.
Align object to center.
Apply Shape 3D using the settings in this file:
(Upload file to My Documents > Paint.Net User Files and click XML on the bottom of the Shape 3D dialog box
EDIT: Remember to add anti-aliasing at level 5
Once more, Radial Blur
using the default settings.
If you're not satisfied with the colors, then use Color Balance (Adjustments > Color Balance).
I used 11,0,-17.
Add a new layer
and name it Divider.
Draw a line where you want the orange to be 'sliced' (make sure it's from one end of the canvas to the other, NOT as shown):
Magic wand
the section you don't want, go to the Fruit layer, and press Delete.
Uncheck the visibility of the Divider layer and average blur the Fruit layer (Radius = 2px)
Make a new layer
and name it Inside
Make an outlined circle
with Primary Hex: FF8C00.
Try to make it the same area as your original circle if you can remember. If not, make it between 500x500 and 515x515.
Fill it with
FFF5D1.
Align it in the center (Effects > Align Object).
Set Colors
:
Primary: FF9D00
Secondary: Transparency - Alpha: 0
Add a new layer and call it 'Segments'.
Effects > Render > Light Rays
Add new layer
and name it Segment Dividers.
CRITICAL STEP!
Make lines on the edges of the rays as accurately as possible. (Outline object could supposedly work too.)
Set Primary Color to FFF5D1.
If when done, the center is off-centered, ignore it.
Back to the Segments layer.
Set colors
:
Primary: FF9D00
Secondary: Transparency - Alpha: 0
Run Light Rays with same settings as last time except for the Swap Colors box, which should be checked.
Set layer opacity to 200.
Still on the Segments layer, go to Ellipse Select tool
Holding the Shift key, try to select the center of the circle leaving about a half an inch border.
Invert the selection (Ctrl+I), merge the layer named Segment Dividers down into the Segments layer, and press delete.
Add new layer
and name it Center.
Set your primary color to F9CE40.
Run the Polygones plugin (Effects > Render)
Fill the hole with the brush tool
.
Optional: Seeds
Add a new layer
, name it Seeds.
Set colors
:
Primary: 545454
Secondary: EAE3C0
Go to freeform shape tool
and choose Filled Shape with Outline Draw a teardrop shape anywhere on the screen and move it to wherever you want.
Duplicate, rotate, move, and merge until you're satisfied with the positions of your seeds. Merge the layer(s) down into the Segments layer when you have finished.
Optional: Orange Fibers
Add new layer
and name it Fiber.
Go to the Segments layer and select outside the segments, Invert the Selection (Ctrl+I)
Go back to the Fiber layer.
Run Diagonal Lines:
Run Dents (reseed until satisfied):
Go to Segments layer, Magic Wand select (Global mode), select a line (divider), go back to the Fiber layer and delete.
Merge the layer down into Segments layer and merge that into Inside layer.
Rotate/Zoom (Ctrl+Shift+Z)
Adjust to the cut of your orange, this corresponds to mine.
Resize the layer to fit the side of the orange.
Run Outline Object on Inside layer: 2, 2, RGB 255 204 0
Optional: Bumps in orange (3 steps)
Go to the Fruit layer, select outside of fruit, Ctrl+I.
Add noise
50, 0, 100.
Gaussian Blur - 3 pixels.
That's it!
Hope you had fun!

Amazing tutorial. I used it to make the dice in the following image:
The chips and cards were made using the Poker Chips + Playing Cards tutorial by 'cjmcguinness' and the reflections were made with the Water Reflections plugin with a Waves value of zero and varied Durations (I think this is the best way to make reflections)
