[Elysium]

Oh thats his actual car in the gif too, i took it with my camcorder, converted it into a short clip in imageready, and scaled down the frames to make a gif, then put it in a template i had made earlier!

Were these all created from scratch (Except for the animation)? Or u used some photos you found and modified them?

All made from scratch. Each and everyone. The only one where i used an image was the first one (the one with the land at the bottom, and the planet up the top, the narrow picture) i created the landscape which is at the bottom using Terragen.

Wow! It's really impressive.

You're not only working with Photoshop I'm guessing. You're using a 3D Modeling program too heh? 3D Studio MAX? Lightwave?

Oh also, which Photoshop plug ins do you have in your 'stack'?

No 3d programs used bro, just photoshop. I dont have any plug ins also Most people just dont know how to use photoshop to its full potential.

I understand how you did the planet. I just wouldn't thought of that. Do you have any courses/certification under your belt or you learned by yourself?

So what's Terragen? I don't have that in my Photoshop... Which version are you using?

[Elysium]

Ok, heres an example, its a screenshot showing the layers of the MP3 player i made... theres quite a few... thats the key! Layers!

Terragen is a program, nothing to do with photoshop. You can make photorealistic landscapes with it.

Is it freeware? If yes, where can I find it?

Also, did you learn on your own or you have a course?

If you did learn on your own, any websites you would recommend?

Seriously, your layering techniques look really good.

Learnt the basics from tutorials, then picked up the rest myself, just by playing around with it all.

Hehe i'll take that as a compliment

[Elysium]

What do you mean by blending options?

[ReX357]

Left click on any layer, there's a sub menu called "Blending Options". There you add shadows, glow, strokes, beveling and etc. to your layers.
