Gel Effect

Okay,

I read like five tutorials already... still can't get it. I got my shape (it's half a triangle) and I'm trying to keep it the gelly look for the color #70BC1F... how can I do this? After I finish, it never looks like its supposed to...

something like this?

you're genius.... how did you do that... how did you...

lol...lemme post my layer styles...how about this? i changed the texture...



i'll post the layer style in a sec...

looks good.. soo good. By the way, I don't need those white dots, just a gel trianglular shape.

ok...
1. start out by making the triangle with the colour you provided...
2. Add an inner shadow, changing these settings:
Blend Mode - Multiply
Opacity - 30
Angle - 141 - No global light
Leave the rest the same
3. Add an inner glow:
Blend Mode - Normal
Opacity - 39
Choke - 14
Size - 16
Contour - Gaussian
4. Bevel and Emboss:
Style - Inner Bevel
Depth - 300
Size - 10
Soften - 2
Highlight Mode - Screen - White
Opacity - 100
Shadow Mode - Color Dodge - White
Opacity - 40
5. Add Contour:
Half Round
Range - 50
6. Add Texture:
Pattern - Clouds
Scale - 100
Depth - +18
7. Add Satin:
Blend mode: Normal
Opacity - 40
Angle - 19
Distance - 27
Size - 14
Contour - Gaussian
8. Add a Stroke
Size - 1
Position - Outside
Color - 007C06

Let me know if you have any problems

Hey frrogsgs,

It worked perfectly, but I didn't use the satin because it created a weird bevel that I didn't need. You should really submit this as a tutorial - it's a very simple way of making gelly stuff.

hey, glad it worked...i''ll probably end up submitting it sometime. Post if you need anymore help.

I have a question, the layer style you posted, will that work with any shape and color?

not sure about the shapes, but it should work with any color. I'll give it a try...i'll post back soon.
