basically only PS and MAX are needed 🙂 I saw a tut on how to do this once, with the use of simple blobs made in MAX. I too want to learn this Nick, but it’s REALLY hard to get it right… try and experiment a little with color layers in PS first 🙂 ---

basicly its a bunch of layers, lighting, and blending effects to create something abstract. it’s similar to a collage, but abstract is more blended and smoother. ---

\*\*Nick!\*\*theres a tutorial in the latest ‘Computer Arts’ Magazine which takes creates an image like this. Its all photoshop - it doesnt show you how to create the cool 3d elements, but its very good at showing you how to use dynamic lighting effects in photoshop to give you good results. I guess you can only get the magazine in the uk, but if you can get it, its very good, if only for ideas 🙂 PM me if you can’t get it, i may be able to e-mail you the files at least. ---

Ooo, Computer Arts magazine? I’m off the the newsagents then. 🙂 I always wondered how you create this kind of thing too. Seriously though, if you’re into this kind of artwork, speak to Dan (Telekinesis) - he’s sickeningly good with this. 🙂 ---

> \*Originally posted by Kitiara \* > \*\*Ooo, Computer Arts magazine?

This had a huge photoshop project which showed you how to create a beautiful photoshop montage. It was really good then thats a worthwhile purchase too! Theres another magazine that my dad gets. It doesn’t really show much advanced stuff, but its great for beginners and is full of VERY usefull quick fix ideas and plenty of tips. (The CD useually comes with a load of plug-ins as well) …um, sorry. I went off on one a bit there. :sigh: ---
