| That distortion of the text is really getting me. It doesn't work right just spherizing it. [confused] I messed around for hours, trying to spherize/polar coordinates/liquify to get the distortion to look like the real thing, but had no success.
Plz give me more hints, or an example of one you made or someone else???!!!!!!!!!!!!........please! |

hahaa [bustagut] aaa don't sweat it too much Patrick.

I'll give you a one-word hint: Displace

I believe now that "the word" has been uttered, Stroker (Lightyear of Borg) should be making his entrance very soon. Let's all get cozy and wait for his omnipotant arrival shall we? %}

While Stroker is running after his kids all around the house, you can begin to look at this: http://tech-slop.serveit.org/cannify/index.shtml (this is material written by Stroker; you might need to be borgified to understand it all)

Oh, Ok, thanks. I think I was just on the comp too long. You know when your tying hard to do something, and your getting frustrated cause it's not working but you can't stop, then before you know it it's been hours and hours. [confused]
Yeah, I think I'll take it easy and keep waiting for more info and hints. [innocent]
Does any one have an example of a glass sphere someone did? \:]

My Stroker sense is tingling. Did somebody say the 'D' word?

Close, Spec. I think this is more appropriate:
http://tech-slop.serveit.org/tweakables/index.shtml

Especially Page 2.

There are also some relevant ideas in Reflection Maps, but you'll have to dig and think to find them:

Uh, woh.... [stuned] .....thats all cool stroker, but I don't get a lot of it, like how do you make that rainbow box thingy, and exactly the steps with the clipping groups and stuff. [confused] I'm kinda confused. [oops]

That's the rub of Technical Slop. Diving into the middle of it might not get you too far if you are not already familiar with my work or the tools involved.

- Get familiar with Curves.
- Get to know your way around Gradients.
- Get to know how to work in seperate channels.
- Get to know clipping groups or whatever they are called now-a-days.
- Start at the beginning and slowly work your way up.
- Knowing line factoring is good, but not necessary.

For example, the rainbow box thingie is explained in a way earlier tutorial. It involves gradients in seperate channels.

Start right here:
http://tech-slop.serveit.org/tob.shtml

Like I said, take it slow.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I got one that used to drive me crazy. You don't have to distort rastor background that's underneath. For some of those, best to bring in something else to distort. If you take rastor that small and try to magnify it that much, you won't get very far.

Explain your thought some more Stroker. I'm a lil' hazy on your specific point on that one. \:]
