Create a new document **500x500** with a transparent background. \*\*Press D \*\* to reset the colors 2. Fill the layer with\*\* Black\*\* 3. On the same layer, create a perfect circle marquee and go Filter \> Render \> Clouds.(Make a perfect circle marquee by pressing shift when making it) DESELECT! CTRL-D 1. Go Stylize \> Extrude and use the following settings: **Type:** pyramids \*\*Size: \*\* 20 pixels **Depth:** 255 Random 1. You are basically done at this point. Go Image \> Adjustments \> Hue/Saturation and enter the following settings: These settings are my favorite and can be changed in any way. **Hue:** 209 **Saturation:** 69 \*\*Lightness: \*\* 0 **Colorize:** yes Yay you are done! **Optional:** Change the Extrude settings around to get different spikes! You can see a finished example on my Sig… SO… What do you guys think of it? ---

> [@inventorriz](#): > > no offence but ive seent that at so many places but thats good u can do many spins of that I would totally agree with that. There are more C4D tutorials on spikey balls than there are grains of sand on all the beaches in the world. It’s almost tough to find any tutorials worth a hoot when you have to wade through the sea of spkey ball tutorials!
