Antanas Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 Hello there, I really love this: http://fc01.deviantart.com/fs5/i/2004/2 ... eError.jpg Can something like this be done with paint.net? Some text glassy this way would look perfect anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drakaan Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 That's certainly possible, but not simple, and it would take a while to create a generic tutorial for that effect. In the example image, there's curvature on the top face of the object that affects what it looks like, and a flat image would look different. My guess is that the image was done in blender, which makes it a serious challenge... How about this: what if we talk about recreating the image itself, first?

david.atwell Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 :shock: Wow, that's insanely awesome. Yeah...I'm thinking hundreds of layers...internal refractions, specular highlights, external reflections...the overall shininess is tough enough. The only person I can think of on the forums that has a chance of doing this in any reasonable amount of time would be Ash. I might be able to do it, but we're talking years... Just... :shock: *looks at image again* *drools* 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.

Mr Frojo Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 My suggestion. Blender. Btw, read the rules. Mostly number 6. We should have an idea of what you want just by reading the title of this thread. Quote I'm still alive! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncfan51 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 Hmmm..it wouldn't be exacty simple with Paint.NET, or even Paintshop Pro. If you want it as a 2D image, then it might take a while...I suggest going with Frojo's idea. I saw a tutorial on Youtube a couple years back on how to make such a thing with Photoshop, Cinema 4D, and some other program..but I can't seem to find it now.. But I guess it doesn't really matter, because that stuff isn't freeware, and it would take a big bite out of your wallet :shock: Quote +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ I am a disco dancer. +_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted September 19, 2007 Share Posted September 19, 2007 As promised, I spent appx. 3 hrs on the flight. 8) This is the basic idea, might need a bit more touch up. Bent glass thingy....
