NathansMommy727 Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I've searched and have only found how to make glass buttons, or glass text. This is not what I want. I've seen what Ash has done on his deviantart gallery, and he has a way of making ice cubes, or glass trays, etc... I think it's really cool, and if there is already a tut out there in forum land I must have missed it! Did I miss it on my search? :oops: Any help thank you in advance, please be nice, I'm still getting used to PDN! Quote My DA ^_^ My photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 There is no tut, at least not by me...yet. However, I gave many hints, tips all over....but I guess that would be hard to search for ... If you can wait, I will get to that sooner or later... quite a few tuts on the list. If not, I can give you some hints, or if anyone feels like it, they can give it a try Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NathansMommy727 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Ash, that would be ROCKIN if you could even give me a smidgen of a hint or tip! I was just mesmerized by your ornaments on the glass table peice in your DA gallery. I know it took a lot of work and there is amazing detail... I just hope someday I will be as good as you are at this! I just don't understand how to make it look like glass... But if you are willing to make a tut for it, I'm willing to wait for it! It will be worth the wait IMO. Quote My DA ^_^ My photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 I would ask you to use low alpha colors fill the layer....start with blue... Then run the shape3d plugin in box mode. Play with the lighting settings in shape3d. Try different gradients on the "before shape3d" image. That should start you off.

NathansMommy727 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks Ash, I'll play with it a bit... I appreciate it! Quote My DA ^_^ My photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NathansMommy727 Posted October 24, 2008 Author Share Posted October 24, 2008 Alright, with a tip from Ash, this is my go at it: My first try, looks like too much drop shadow... kinda looks like glass soap My second go at it, eh it's still missing something.... Any suggestions? I got the idea, but still missing that something? Quote My DA ^_^ My photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Remember, glass have distortions, reflections and refractions. Paint.NET can't do that, it's up to you to make the viewers to believe that there is.

NathansMommy727 Posted October 25, 2008 Author Share Posted October 25, 2008 I know, I keep trying... actually I've been staring at a glass of mine for hours trying to figure out in my head how to do it... my husband thinks I've taken something lol. So darn frustrating though! Quote My DA ^_^ My photos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeterPawn Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Ash: I'm going to play with your suggestions here, but I've been waiting for a tutorial from you on this subject. You make the best glass I've seen. Consider this a request. Quote My devART Gallery My SIG Gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
