You're all over the place aren't you?
Nice job.
That's a nice effect, and a good job Mike.
In fact, i've conversed with the author of that tute and suggested a few ways he could improve the specifics of it. Perhaps he decided not to include them. In any case... i thought i'd share this with you.
Have a look at this page guys: http://photoshopgurus.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=79905
I think it'll help shead some light on this subject. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
Hey Mark, he actually emailed me after seeing this post. It was quite lengthy and was curious as to why i didnt email him about the tutorial not working with my version of Photoshop. i emaled him back and told him most of these tuts are on 50 differnet sites and didnt think about it. well anyways he went back and corrected it. He is a real great guy he does all these tuts for free hosts a website to store them on and has a bunch of great info there to. if you get a chance check out his site everyone Lunacore.com
will check that sight out that you posted to.
Thanks for the kind words on my pic. and thanks LunaCore.com for a great tutorial.
Mark.
Having looked at the photos, you clearly make some valid points, but sometimes creating true reality may not look as appealing as a pseudo reality. Whilst the images are clearly photos of glass orbs, if you created near identical illustrations, I suspect they would look a lot less natural, and certainly less appealing, than the less true to life illustrations you often see.
All illustration is just an illusion, if the viewer see's what the artist intended, then the image is a success.
Of course you'll probably now go and create an example that will prove me wrong, we'll see. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif

I completely agree Sark, 100%. And i've always made consession for that fact. Heck i've done it myself on more than one ocassion.Quote:

My specific reason for making this point was simply to bring the facts into the light on this subject. Just thought folks who like this effect might want to learn/understand what exactly is going on with it.
Even though i myself prefer realism, doesn't mean it's always applicable. And i understand that.
I hope my point wasn't taken to mean that i was critisizing Mike's artwork. Definately not what i was intending.
Actually, usually i would. haha But not this time. Mainly because i agree with you. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/smile.gifQuote:

http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif I, too, agree with Sark (nice sphere Mikey!)...and will just add that it is also fun and educational, though, to see the effects of the glass sphere Mark has used...another thing is the refractive properties of various transparent materials a "glass sphere" could be made of, say if you could create one in the mineral calcite you would find images seen through it doubled and overlapping -- a very interesting effect you wouldn't expect...other's would say was "unreal," but in fact it is. http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/wink.gif
All i wanted to do was the tutorial. Wow! i am happy if i just fire up photoshop let alone make a believable picture. Thanks for the kind words and that was a intersting case study on the glass ball

Hi folderwz. Did you check my reply to your message at Tutorialized? :)Quote:

The fact is that if you can't reach a web site doesn't mean it's dead. That can be caused by problems locally (your PC (security settings for example) or ISP) or the network segment between your ISP and my hosting company. Sadly I have no control over any of these. :(
Btw Mike S, thanks for the kind words in one of your earlier posts, I appreciate that. ;)
Thanks for your help.
It's blocked by Chinese goverment,and I reach it by IP agent.
And could you tell me how to make the glass ball of the pic bellow?
Maybe : Filter--replace ?
Many thanks
