Wow, I love that... what did you use to get it so shiny?

That is a very nice design and a very very nice chrome effect, so smooth and shiny.

Nice... Used an environment map for the reflections? And did you listen to too much Alan Stivell lately?

Here is my try at it Ecirbaf ... I like it. I played around with a bunch of other stuff too after I had your sphere.

I use 2 filter :
1 : filter->Map->BumpMap for the bevel
2 : filter->Map->Displace

It s an environment map ? I don't understand what is an environment map

Next : alpha -> selection on my Layer texte
invert selection and erase on the layer gradient

5 secondes :mrgreen:

Next -> colors curve

My wife Brittany (born in Brest) and when I draw, I often draw for her (she is very chauvinistic :mrgreen:

)

you can do nice text effects with Filters -> Light & Shadow -> Lighting Effects

viewtopic.php?f=23&t=8423

you use a so called environment-map for the colours and GnuTux wrote a script to create various Enviromaps
