For those interested in my Beach Ball entry, I made a layer-by-layer animation



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG3FS5ZE-8E

This is not really a tutorial as the layers are not in the order in which they were created. All stripes are made from smart objects free-transformed to fit, with gradient overlays and bevel/emboss effects. The shadows were mostly eyeballed. And, of course, I used a reference to build the whole thing

Reduced PSD here

made in CS4 Extended, I'm not sure if the smart object transformations will read correctly in older versions.

That's awesome! I'm glad you added that they're not in order because the last thing I do is add the shadows.

Thanks for sharing! Very Happy

Very informative, even in whiz-bang format. Thanks!
The paper models were a smart move!

Shu-weet!

Did you make the paper model references yourself or were they a pick that you found for reference? (not that it matters just curious). Cool
