god...help me please about this effect

How to make the effect like this http://www.teamphotoshop.com/index.php of the left hand side?

What is this, the question of the week?

As people say it's Pank's secret. Many have asked...none got the answer. The technique remains secret. Sorry.

Filter->Render->Pank, Set bevel settings to "No," and check the box next to it, should be labeled: "No."

did he confirm that it was in fact photoshop? I heard that it was some program called KPT or something. if its photoshop then if enough people try to figure it out - we'll get it.

as i mentioned in another(cross) post create the shape using either the Shape Tool, Pen Tool or Lasso Tool

in this case i used the Ellipse Tool (on on the same shape i applied the Subtract From Shape option' from th e options toolbar to get the tube shape (requires Freehand Trasform/Distort)

from there its all Belending Modes as i have achieved below



hope this helps
no special filters used at all, and effortless to say the least
certainly more can be done with this...

Well, there goes heathrowe...he was a good guy

He is a good guy and that is a great way of doing it, it's just not how I did it

His effect is probably the best I have seen. But if you really look closely there is a difference.

Sorry... Had to say that ;)

that pank is a teaser isn't he
tnx pank for the comps

I figured it would be hard to guess how u did it -- and im sure one of hundreds of ways of achieving the same thing in Photoshop

and building upon what i already did and could not achieve just using blending modes ( for the orange tube) I drew out a single outline to the curve using the Pen Tool and applied stroke to the path, then Gaussian Blur then repeated it moving the outline at diff posttions...



as u can see im getting closer to the effect on the orange tube...

in the words of one of my fav indie rock band - Yo La Tengo
'hank panky know how'

heathrowe

Try taking a glossy layer and putting it over the tubes on a layer mode. Yours just aren't shiny enough.

Or maybe try filter >>> render >>> lighting effect.

They just have to be more shiny.

But you're getting closer, and if you do get the effect, Pank will have to redo the TeamPS site...:D
