I would like to know what settings you use when it comes to distortion effects. Do you leave it at default settings or tweak until it becomes opaque like a real glass block would look?

I try to this as best as I could.
Most of the glassy I made are on their own layer and reacts to different colored backgrounds.
Edit: See?

I see it...my eyes refuse to believe it. Did you use a very subtle orange-y gradient?

Glass was unchanged, only the background was filled with different color.

Go HERE and download the flash movie and you will see. (Download button on the left side.)

Link fixed, the forum doesn't seem to like the dA links...or something.

I will have a look sometime this evening when I'm free. I have seen that picture several times but never d/l the flash movie.

Like Lance' I bow to your knowledge and excellence @ PDn. Beautiful, beautiful glass ... definitely an inspiration for me to keep trying different things

Kinda like the old days, no? I used to have something to show every weekend.

However, I'm still not fully back in action.
Anyways, enjoy and have a nice weekend guys and gals.

Awesome! And still not fully back in action? Can`t wait to see something done when you are !
I particularly like the image on the left showing the transformation from stone/metal into glass.

The blue one is :shock:

but the green one is :shock:

That definitely works as ice/ glass/ beaten metal ... whatever you wanted to call it; I'm sure we'd all agree. Incredibubble work. One decade I may be able to do something this good

Ash...I already posted a response in your gallery on the main board, but here, I thought I would repeat. I really love the tubular effect and the donuts shaped glasses. I'm not fond of the other one, but that's just me. I hope you could write a very basic introduction to glass, and then give everybody a nudge in the right direction. I am not up to your level of glassiness awesomeness yet. But I am enjoying the challenge nonetheless, even though it keeps up at night.

Thanks everyone.
Glass introduction, huh? Let's go step by step. I've got a new gem tut and a new eye tut to finish first. :wink:

That's it for now...........

Our smiley won't suffice to express my stun when I saw this image. So I will borrow this one:

Well, when you are done with those two tuts, would you write one?

Cool boots

(Very useful for the step by step t :lol:

Ceasing being the village idiot ... stunning. As simple as.
