Hi,
I've been playing with bevels and came up with this rather nice (IMHO) sort of 3D ball type button. If I remember what I did correctly, I beveled the original circle, then converted to editable shapes and ungrouped. Then I beveled the bevel! Transparencies and feathered highlights were added. Then an glow shadow. To prevent the shadow showing outside I applied a clipview using a copy of the original circle, to cut off the overspill. More shadows cast on the background square made it look as though it was inset. Finally a bitmap transparency on the square and guess what? Another bevel.
I like it but not sure what I could use it for other than a learning exercise.
