he4rty, thanks for this tip! i think it might just work on my paisleys as well .

Looks Good Molly, Handy Little script as well O.

That's lovely Molly. You're getting the hang of the text I see.

this tutorial by monsoonami might be interesting as well for poeple who want to try letters on a 3D ball

Wow, that tutorial is very nice. Now to do it.

Very nice designs, the text looks good molly and rdgracer71 like the idea of turning into a planet.

I am dangerously late to this party. Suffice it to say moving is a big pain in the backside, especially with four kids, pets, and two decades of crap no one in their right mind should hold onto.

I digress. This was a great result with a gold color.

I know where you are at with holding on to decades of stuff, lol but your gold balls is very pretty.

Mike thats come out really well.

Just dedicating this to a mate of mine. 8 Ball Aitken!!

So I was playing around with this tutorial Pixel Stretch Tutorial, mainly trying the Fx Foundry's Amazing Circles, when an effect happened that I thought might work here.

The effect didn't work, but by chance in trying to remember the settings used, I got things wrong and this happened.

I've checked back through the tutorial to see what I did differently and the only mistake I made was to create the Image at 512*512px instead of 600*600px, Hopefully like me you'll find the mistake a vast improvement on the glossiness.
