With help from Oma we made transparent Glass 8)

Thank you Oma

Glass cube.

Enjoy & have a nice weekend 8)

One vote for a tutorial!

spoils the challenge of trying to figure it out. 8) That cube is the result of a lot of practice and all that trial and error cant be shared in a tut, and its where the real lesson lies. My guess is that the main parts were made individually and I dont think it was a short process.

What gives it away is the edges or corners of the cube. This was likely assembled similar to the cube with different pics on each side.

quick attempt. Copy ashes cube into PDN and really look at the highlights , free your mind and let it pick up the different aspects he used in shading and create your own vision of a cube based on a likeness.

I wouldnt mind knowing the shape technique but the glass texture I feel is better as ashes signiture technique.

Quite a long post there I'm proud of the statments you made there, and I agree, that's why I teach on how to make the textures/patterns/parts most of the time (Fur and not the whole tiger) Just give a push and let the users find their own style and path.

"cube with different pics on each side" Almost, but not for this piece. but that is 1 of the method I often use too.

"free your mind": Yes, and remember...there is no spoon 8)

And it's Ash's not Ashes :o I'm not "finished" yet

No no no no NO, I always wanna click and see a larger version :o :?

But looking good from this size too

I made it real big for my deviant art site just have to upload it . and that will be very shortly.

@twisted whiskers looking good you might want to adjust that transparency down a bit more on bottom layer, and see if your girl shows up a bit more.

next step is to get the shine. and that's playing with your curves+ luminosity..

[Blooper]

Nice job with the peacock...

[oma]

@olav that ball and lava is super fine looking

:wink:

@thanks blooper. looks good real small check it out on my da gallery you'll see the bad layer job. merged too soon on the feathers. LOL! live and learn.

[oma]

where is Fred Flintstone? great use of that tut.

[ShadowChris]

Just for you

:shock:

[agent387]

lol

[Ash]

Just 1 more edit, ok I'll stop working on it for now

[El Che Garcia]

Vendrw's cubes totally pwn Ash's.

Great job there, V.

[Blooper]

I beg to differ; Ash's cubes are better in my opinion. Yours are still great, vern.

[oma]

just messing around ... playing ... testing new combinations.

I like this pattern. I'm not sure what I'll do next with it, Maybe save it for future use.

Here's some of my work:

All done in PDN and Unfreeze/Adobe Premiere.

[PSI] is my UT2004 Clan, and the maximum sig size is 350 x150.

Something I have been working on.

Depends on the context; ash's are clean lined and very tidy where as mine have a very random element in shading. I like ash's because of the clean lines. I like mine due to the "random" shading.

My whole point was not to compete but to ad a variant that illuminates The internalization of the variant on a transparent cube. Ash was sucessful in the decpetion of a singularly patterned wall , if you examine the connecting points of the cube walls they lie about obvious constrution methods by insinuation. That is good art. When I could take a lengthy route to reproduce the exact piece that is simpler than it looks.

In that conntext Ash is the clear winner. So in either context there is a win in the representation.

Thanks for the vote though, I must admit there is a shred of ego that thoroughly enjoyed that.

There nice, but they get annoying after a while. :?

You're entitled to that, but Vern's have more texture in them and are therefore more realistic. Its one thing to make a cube on an graphic manipulating program, but it is another to step it forward and enhance the program's ability.

While Ash's was indeed good, Vern's was beyond what can easily be achieved and thus I conclude that Vern's, not Ash's, cubes are better.

Thats the beauty of ash's cube, its not easy, but its easier than I thought it was for one part of its construction. making a smooth transparent layer convincing like ash did isnt easy especially with the other walls and corners behind it.

I dont mean to seem ungrateful because its rare when I get that kind of support here, really this is one of a few times and I have never recieved this strong of an accolade from a peer here.

I just think that you may be missing the context of ash's cube or if you arent Then the comparison of illusory reflective qualities of either cube has revealed your preference. And having one preference swayed from a great pixel manipulator like ash is really a gracious compliment.

couple of things i been working on

Thanks to MadJik for the "Seamless Texture" plug-in and Ash for giving me the link to it!
