Pluginless Chrome effects

[gwpriester]

Back in the good old days, we used blends or contours before we had the luxury of the shadow tool. Pure vectors.

Here are three of my favorite chrome effects, although the fork is really silver and not chrome.

The pretzel is from the 2000 tutorial, the ampersand (&) from the 2005 and the silver fork from the 2006 tutorials.
