Pluginless Chrome effects

[ss-kalm]

Using Shade curve tool, a bit of bevel and 3d extrude. Not sure it's quite as reflective as real chrome, but like the final effect.

What an interesting and fun thread. There's been almost as many techniques as there are superb examples. I couldn't resist and had to have another go at it.

Lookin' forward to seeing more,

Thanks John, the shade curve method is indeed awesome. I just never thought of feeding a 'sine wave' into what is primarily an, urm, 'Gamma correction' tool really

I played around with creating a chrome look too. Mine does use the shade curve feature + a bevel + contour. The background was builtup with transpariencies + a fractal fill.

Hey! Some of you guys aren't sticking to the rules! Let's see your wireframes. If you have any vectors in there that are squared, you're fired!

Javier, your technique is excellent, truly excellent
