well the point of the shiny orb tutorial was really to teach you how to achieve the shiny effect so that you can emulate it on other objects. I think if you try to apply the same methods on a rectangle, you can get an effect that is quite similar.

A rectangular orb?

Do you mean the ‘aqua button’ or ‘plastic button’ effect?

There are lots of tutorials about that.  
Try [this one](http://graf-users.edu.ats.dk/maryus1/Aqua%20Button%20Pro%20(Photoshop%206%20or%20higher).htm) for example

Hope that helps.

And o yeah, for questions like this you probably will be better off posting in the Drawing & Design forum
