a cheap 3D software were used ...some fractal software (i forgot the name tho)....there are free trials if u enjoy this kinda stuff (i definitly don't).
But With ps u can do stuffs "similar" to this, just play with polarcoordinates and transparent layers and gradients u could come with something close with a bit of work i think...


erratum its not 3D stuff...

It's just smoke and mirrors, if you look closely enough you can actually see the support wires...

Aside from that, I think i know what he's done. And i'm very bored right now so I'm oging to try and copy it and ill let you know whether i was right

edit: ok here's what I got, obviously the guy had more time to play around with burning/dodging/colours but here's a rough attempt



ok really really quickly how i made it in PS:

Get a huge random image, I had a picture of a hotel (it's that random)

Motion blur the image with a similar slant to the wallpaper and at 999 pixels

Use adjustment layers etc. to colour it blue and increase the contrast to make it interesting

Use the warp tool to make it sort of 'splay' outwards from the center, like it does in the wallpaper

Make a new layer and render some standard clouds on to it, then make the layer blending mode to soft light (play around with the opacity, and make a layer mask etc. to make it look pretty)

Play around with the shadows and highlights using the appropriate tools. To alter the colour, I made a new adjustment layer (hue) and adjusted the settings untill the image was green. Then I played around with the layer mask until the very edges were green

New layer, fill it black. add some gausian monochromatic noise through filters, and posterise the image (image>posterise) so there are very few white dots. Set the blending mode to screen.

Duplicate the layer you just made and motion blur it in the same direction as before (only 10px or something)

Your done

I know this is how to make it in PS but hopefully you can adapt it for PSP Smile

There's an infinite amount of ways you could go about accomplishing this effect in Photoshop. Armogeden did a great job on his, and he used his own little way to do it by using a source image. Smile You could do that, or paint it. using a pre-existing image is probably a lot easier.
