Goonfella Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 I have searched through the tutorials a number of times but I have never come across one about making clear glass objects. There are glassy buttons, glassy orbs,glassy marbles but no plain clear glass tuts. I don`t suppose anyone would care to make one please? I know it would be another glass tut but as it would be for something not yet covered it might be a handy addition to the tut menu. I have often tried to make glass myself, but never been able to work it out. Maybe it is just a case of adapting an existing tut in a way I have not thought of yet. Either way a tut would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

worldnewser Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Well, I think the main reason a glass tut hasn't been made is because it is really hard to make. I mean, I've been using Paint.NET for a while and I still don't have the hang of making glass objects yet ..... I remember Ash saying that he was in the process of making a glass tut, but again it is rather complicated. It would probably take a while to make a good glass piece, let alone write a tut about making one. There might be one in the future though, so don't fret :wink: Oh, and if it helps, one good tip on making a glass object would be filling the canvas with a semi-transparent fill and then using S3D. Then play around with angles and lighting. Quote deviantART Space and the Relative---Space Art Basics Tut (BETA) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thanks . I guess I`ll just have to hang on a bit then, or get so good with PDN that I can do one myself! Thanks for the tip anyway. Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharp Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 Here's my try at a glass ball. The shadow is messed up and it could use some :AntiAliasingOn: , but its pretty good for a first try. I suppose I could make a tut if this is good enough.

david.atwell Posted November 23, 2008 Share Posted November 23, 2008 I suppose I could make a tut if this is good enough. I wouldn't lock it if you did. :-) Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

I have tried a few times to make one of these but this particular glass effect still eludes me. That`s an excellent first go!
