Jud@s Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 Nice tut, I made the avatar I'm using now with it. It even let me know more about making orbs (where I failed the tut twice). Here's a full view of it before resizing, you can see that it lost some detail when I took it down to avatar size. Quote 100% PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barkbark00 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 ncfan51, he's just pointing out that you may have meant "press" but you wrote "click". Obviously, seeing that these are to completely different actions, you can see where mass confusion could ensue.

dawn Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Hi there, I'm a big fan of this tutorial and this site in general. I was wondering if there's any way to get a similar "glossy" effect for square images. Are there any plugins available that can create the shiny/glossy effect automatically? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud@s Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I know of no "glossy" plugin so far... but I'm sure that someone will make one sooner or later if its possable. As to squares and rectangles being "glossed over"... donno if that would work very well opticial wise, seeing that a square has a flat surface and that a round or oval button is bulged. The glosses do tend to give the object the slight 3D effect which would not look right on a flat surface I think. I would suggest giving the tut a try with a square and just see what you come up with 8) btw, there's a tut for what you want to do---> http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?t=1158 Quote 100% PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dawn Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 Yeah, I've done that tutorial a couple times and it's not quite what I'm looking for. I guess I'll keep playing with this one. Thanks for the response! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cjmcguinness Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 I've been having a go at square buttons on and off for a while as well; this is about the best I have come up with. I can put together a tutorial if anyone's interested, but it may take me some time to remember all the steps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakaan Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 I just put up a tut for square ones -> Square Glassy Button Tutorial ...and deleted it. Check out the "Making Glass Buttons" tutorial that's stickied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud@s Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I've been having a go at square buttons on and off for a while as well; this is about the best I have come up with. Nice, but its still the problem with the lighting effects not being able to show the deepness to the square button. Your button is well done, but as I see it, the light is comming from the upper left side, but the refelction is going horizontaly across the button, which gives it a slightly wrong lighting effect. Also, if the light is comming from the upper left, then the shadow should be going to the lower right in its darkest portion. But still a very nice job on the button, after seeing yours, I think I'll give it a go (as soon as my SOTW for weather is fin) to see what I can come up with.

I've redone the Square Button (it may be slightly different as I was struggling to remember all the steps from the first time I did it), changing the reflection to a diagonal and adjusting the drop shadow to bottom right.

Jud@s Posted June 16, 2007 Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'm impressed mate... 8) Have you thought about doing a second brighter highlight like on the round buttons? I think that would give it the final touch Quote 100% PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
