Here's what we'll be attempting to make:

Or something like that....

Open up a canvas 800x600

Change the background color to black.

Then, add a new layer, on this layer add some squiggles of light and dark colors.

Zoom blur with these settings

Then twist with these settings.

Add a new layer and add more squiggles and zoom blur again then twist.

Duplicate this layer twice and make adjustments to the opacity.

Make a new layer and put squiggles like this on:

Zoom blur twice then twist with these settings:

Duplicate the layer, select it then rotate it to your liking.

Duplicate again, and rotate that layer too.

Mess with their opacity a little bit to your liking.

Make a new layer, set the secondary color's opacity to 0 and change the foreground's color to white.

In the center of the wormhole make a small, radial gradient.

Duplicate this layer twice then merge them down.

Mess with this layers opacity then add a new layer.

Make another white radial gradient, dupe it, and merge it down.

Change it's opacity, merge it down.

Make a radial gradient in the center with the main wormhole color but close to white.

Flatten and then you're done!

Um, I'm sorry but, could you be more specific in each step?

The "Duplicate this layer twice and make adjustments to the opacity." Isn't really clear.

And most of the steps are really confusing... =\

[Boude]

Yeah I have to agree, and zoom blur twice with these settings (settings are of twist, not zoom blur)

[Zatharath]

That's cause it says zoom blur twice then twist with these settings.

By duplicate the layer twice then mess with opacity, I just meant dupe it once or twice and change it's opacity so it's not solid color.

Don't be in a rush to write your tutorial. We are willing to wait for you.

[Zeon]

Yeah, if you don't mind, can you write the exact settings you use while creating that wormhole? I really want to make it like that >.<

This is my result after trying very hard to understand the guide and doing some improvisations...

[Smiley]

wow!! thats amazing! i dont know what everyone else is moaning about, i found that extremely easy to follow, and had a great outcome!

great job. thanks heaps 8)

Here's my outcome, after a few bits of my own tweaking;

But there is a bit of improvement to do on your actual Tutorial. Next time, take your time and make it clearer. Apart from that, great Tut!

Yeah, I should have been more specific, but it was my first tutorial and stuff.

(I found out how to make these when I was doing a science project on wormholes lol)

I couldn't see many flaws in this guide, pretty simple enough for me to use and the results were great.

I loved the outcome and how simple and effective it is.

Thank you very much for this

[Hutton]

i kinda went a little off course

and messed up a few times.

then i decided to personalize it so no one would notice the mistakes

so this one is mine

[Riku]

this is what i got...

[hexratt]

Nice tutorial. Cool wormhole. Well, I made my first spaceship coming out of the wormhole.

[himself22]

This could be useful. Especially when edited and added to a spacescape (I'll try it.).

hexratt: That spaceship is AWESOME! Do you have a gallery?

[hexratt]

@himself22

No, I don't have a gallery, yet. I've gone through about five tutorials, but as soon as I learn how to make thumbnails

I will put up a gallery. Yea, made my spaceship using Trail, Bevel, and of course Shape3D.

There isn't a whole lot that goes into making an image like this. Guess I made it harder than it had to be. Although I was a little confounded where the instructions state to "make the secondary color's opacity 0," I am happy with the outcome here.

Thank you sir for the fine tut.

"make the secondary color's opacity 0,"

I believe he meant to say set the secondary color's transparency to 0.

[Llaver]

heres mine after a little bit of messing around on it lol

i changed the blending mode unstead of the opacity sooooo yea i think it came out ok

[Meagan the Hedgefox]

Make a new layer, set the secondary color's opacity to 0 and change the foreground's color to white

I don't get that. What do ya mean? (I so very confused)

[Sarkut]

In the Colors window, click on - More >>

Colors Window

opacity to 0

Should read - Transparency - Alpha to 0

foreground's color to white

Should read - change Primary color to white.

Thanx! Simple misread on my part. (has sheepish grin) I decided I needed to start over 'cause I made the spirals too small.
