Hi all

just wondering if someone knows or can point me in the direction of turning an object into glass, i have searched the web but either keep missing it or typing in the wrong search parameters

Regards

I think it depends on the object. Do you have a pic to post?

I use this as a guide, it was the only glass tut I could find when I looked for it a while ago.

Could you explain in more detail what you are trying to achieve. I found a nice tut for making a glass ball.

Did this in a few minutes, just change to B/W, duplicate layer,change style on that layer to negative, then insert your backgound image between the two layers and softly remove some of the top layer using layer mask and a soft brush. Its much easier with a smooth object , with patients, I think it will work on anything..Hope this helps???? The more you remove the clearer the glass becomes. Very Happy
