what the heck is it?

(actually, it's just a test to see how an interface would look with glassy elements and such. what do you all think?)

Birth control pills packaged for space travel :bounce: Love the glassy look though how'd you do it ?

[blankslatejoe]

wow, you guessed it right on the nose!;)


actually, the glassy effect is really easy. You can do it in vector or bitmap.let's see if i can explain this...

basically you make a cicle, fill it with a radial gradient (color to black).

make a copy of that circle onto a new layer (or as a new shape if vector) and distort it (squash) it so its smaller (height and sides). This becomes that upper highlight reflection thing in the image above.
Fill that with a white to transparent gradient , and then take that shape or layer and lower the transparency a little.

Sorry if that's is a bit confusing, try it out, it takes two seconds. If you still gots questions, I'll go more in detail with pics :)
Let me know.

looks good. one idea: resize the height. increase it with about 500 additional black pixels on top of the image. might give it a more interesting composition.

VERY shiny...........do you have a close up?

[blankslatejoe]

hahah m&m's....heehee
close? not really, this is already about as close up as it'll go without pixelization. but it doesn't get much more detailed than that anyway...

it's one of them door machnisms that you have to select the correct M&Ms and put them on the hole so the door will open

... that's just my intrepretation of the pic.

nice pic.

Heheh, M&M year 3021:)

Nice work. Maybe more work on it? It seems a bit crude. I know you did for fun, but more time on it will make it look better. and you can aways learn more in the process (and teach us afterwards, hehehe)

hey guys, thanks for your crits.
Here's a similar style, a little more developed. I actually did this one earlier and completely in illustrator.. funfunfun, tell me what you guys think.
