Re: Metal, Chrome and Glass Effects
When I did a lot of gradients in my work, I never liked the artificial look that the bitmap plugins gave, even when you overlay a transparency to try a get a dirtier look. Go the vector gradient way it's far quicker.
Gary gave you a list of his tuts on glass and one on metals but I found that Egg's was great. It really got me thinking about the way you have to view transparent and shiny objects. Honestly I thought this tut. was a cracker and well worth the effort in doing it. Have a look at it here: http://www.xaraxone.com/guest/guest17/index.htm
Design is thinking made visual.
