Try looking on [http://robouk.mchost.com/](http://robouk.mchost.com/) - this guy has got tutes on how to draw metallic surfaces. 🙂 I’ve tried them and they do work. Once you know how to get the appearance, you can apply it to a whole interface. 🙂

I can’t see the site you linked to, it’s coming up with a Bad Gateway error… But I’ve seen some 3D style interfaces before… Mostly they’re done in Photoshop, yes. Sometimes people do them in programs like 3DS Max, but at a guess I’d say mostly PS. 🙂

Ah, got it now, cheers. 🙂

Yeah, I’d say that was done in Photoshop. Go to RoboUK, and have a look at his Orb Interface tute. That tells you how to do something similar. You can adapt that to suit your needs I would think. 🙂

Trendax was created by WhosWe Studios so I doubt the main interface was created with PS alone. It’s most likely created with a 3D program like 3DSmax and touched up with PS.
