Still persevering with blends.
I wondered if I could create a similar piece after viewing ElCabron's beautiful glass.
I couldn't quite make it look like a photograph.

you can extremely increase the effect adding perspective to the picture
i'm sure it will make you job very promissing
I think, the perspective is wrong. It's also a matter of taste, if you like more thin or more fat letters.

Remi... you just blew your cover.... Now we all now you're God :D
I love the first two... but it seems, as the image is streched.... the smooth glass effect is gradualy lost?? And a "prism" effect begins to develop, Is there a work around for that?
Hmmm... another tutorial request??
Remi,
Did you draw those with Xara? If so, that's FANTASTIC work!

Hi Paul and Ron,
please consider, that the only purpose of these pictures is to serve as reference images for salaam, in order to see the right perspective.
They are the result of 15 minutes with my 3D graphics editor.
The next step could be, to reproduce this images within Xara Xtreme.

Ahh. Sorry. Well, I'm sure gonna give a repro a try.. it should be fun and challenging.
Thanks Remi, Pixel.
I realise now that my images also need more contrast, as glass, like chrome, has less blurry shading. Bevels, although feature a 'contrast' level, do not allow for true contrasts. I tried using the transparency contrast more, with only slightly more success.

if you want a realistic glass do not use blend for the perspective and make it thin use more hightlights and a better background (gradient) and the secret to make it photorealistic is in the shadow.
Thanks for the tips Jose,
I've made it look more glassy but it still isn't very realistic.
I'll keep at it.
I can't stop using blends. It's like an addiction.
