    Thumbs up Re: Some chrome balls with different drawing techniques

    That is pretty amazing. I usually have to do that type of work inside Cinema 4D.

    Good Job! Post a tutorial if you could.

    Interesting Idea! Black Panther, very nicely done!
    Here is another attempt - but it looks more like glas instad of chrome.
    One major thing that is missing in my example is the fisheye distortion of image to give the right effect.

    You probably know this trick, but others might find it a useful bit of knowledge.
    Not sure who came up with it originally, Gary P has used the method many times, it may have been he.

    It goes like this:

    Great effect Nostaw. I like the glass sphere affect. I wanted to see what it would look like with the fisheye effect. Here it is with and without the fisheye for comparison. I like working with chrome but this glass sphere really came out well. I did the same thing as sledger except I use a contour tool with a bitmap fill and twisted the center image.

    In addition, I attached my version of a chrome sphere.

    Very interesting Nostaw. I like the colors and the additional shapes. Very well done.

    Absolutely Soquili. it would not be as much fun without you. You need to tell us how you came up with this piece. Very interesting.
