in photoshop i’ve seen some really nicely done things, like dans splash. some’ve said that extrude is the tool to use, but when i use it it comes out with some triangular boxy things that aren’t what im aiming for. things like below are what im aiming for, anyone? ![](http://24.26.33.8:42/whonelly.jpg) ---

Extrude in photoshop? Or do you mean 3dsmax? In case it’s 3dsmax you’re talking about, after extruding, use Meshsmooth on your object, and the choose your level of complexity… 3-4 usually does it… This is something similar…: [click here](http://www.voidix.com/glasscrystal.html) ---

Dan used 3D Studio Max for his splash page and avatar. Although you can find some pretty cool Photoshop tutorials on that [www.voidix.com](http://www.voidix.com) site. ---
