You said it. A lot of imaginations going on here.

Creators gotta create. Love the spirals.

spirals were fun! i got sidetracked early on, though, and the result was a sort of glass ornament:

AnMal - Thats really nice, Quick question did you create all three spirals in one go.

Beautiful work alc. Whenever I do metal I can't help making it look really glossy like chrome. Yours looks a whole lot more natural. Lucky for you Drac attacks do wear off eventually.

@erisian...wasn't that AnMal's metal sphere? Anyway, it is very pretty.

Sorry Mo, I'm a bit behind everybody else but I was referring to the original post in the thread.

AnMal - love your ornament. I didn't notice your name in it first time I looked. I thought it was just abstract.

erisian: hehe, i read your first comment first and i understood it at once. thanks for comments on my ornament, i hadn't expected to get any more about six months after i posted it - thanks to you too, molly !
he4rty: you've probably forgot you ever asked that question and i've certainly forgot the answer, but thanks for commenting on it anyway .

Very nice way to transform some things....i try it out with text on an apple.

Once I got a handle on layer masks, I loved them! And I still need to work more with channels, I am just beginning to understand them.

How can I get the texture slide-slanting-mesh?
