3d in photoshop..

how to do 3d PERIOD in photoshop

I have a tutorial on that, it might suck tho.
http://www.astudios.org/2003/index.php?section=../contents/tutorials_photoshop/3d/3d

thats a straight tutorial... but any1 know how 2 do like 3d chrome crystals like http://decline.gfxvision.net/bilder/interface.jpg and http://www.gfxvision.net/images/decline/1044213846.jpg

Can't really do that in PS unless you have really awesome airbrushing skills. Only with a 3d program, you'll be able to render those.

hah dam that sucks

those images u posted were done in 3DS.

here's a small site with a good step by step to create jaggy crystals and glass tubes:

But I'm not saying u can't do something similiar in PS its just what u wanted to do is a very simple effect in 3DS and trying to achieve the same thing in PS would take ages and you'd probably not get 'exactly' what u want.
