Jon_Cherba Nervous Wreck (II) Inmate From: Tucson, AZ USA Insane since: Sep 2003	posted 09-22-2003 01:07 Can this be done? If so, how would I go about doing this. I'm trying to come up with a really slick & nice looking layout/interface for my car clubs website. I would post a link to the site but it is currently down. My idea was to make a brushed metal interface at the top of the page with indiglo gauges that are sunk into the metal. i have been messing around with photoshop and im confident that i can make this happen i just need some tips and walk throughs of how to get the guages to look like they are real. Please email me @ importconceptz@cox.net if you have more info or post it here and i will try to get back online later. thanks. Jon Cherba AIM= JonCherba4241 importconceptz@cox.net
krets Paranoid (IV) Mad Scientist From: KC, KS Insane since: Nov 2002	posted 09-22-2003 02:01 There are all kinds of "glowing material" tutorials out there for Photoshop, try Googling for some of them. Don't expect to find a "Making Indiglo" tutorial. Instead, look for tutorials that you can use to learn how to make a glowing appearance and apply those to your interface. Once you have something, post it here and the folks will be able to help you out more. It's kind of tough to visualize what you have in mind unless you actually post an example :::11oh1:::

Course thats not the prettyest way of doing it... Just a simple method.

eyezaer Lunatic (VI) Mad Scientist From: the Psychiatric Ward Insane since: Sep 2000	posted 09-22-2003 03:34 mmm... yah, there are lotsa different kinds of indiglo dohickies. Blue ones, red ones, backlit green ones... The easiest way to sink stuff into metal and such is with the bevel layer effects... look into those for a bit. Watch out though, they can make some pretty stinkin cheap ugglah effects. As far as the indiglo... look into using the color dodge blending modes with medium and light colors...
