Preserved Topic: A how to on this chrome effect.

I've tried time after time to get a chrome effect like this kid has on his signature for another forum community.

But I've yet to get it. I figured people here know how to do it with an ease. Give it a shot and let me know if you know because I wanna know.

edit: your link didn't work so I fixed it for you

An earlier thread talked about this and there were some good tuts on it.

found the above in the PS archives.. looks like there might be some good llinks in that archived thread also..

good luck ~Vp~

Chrome isnt as hard as it looks.......the perimeters of good chrome is endless. Look at how some is done and try to mimic......its all about reflections and making the curves of your image reflect true..........

Use a 3d program like bryce...make a quick chrome object import it into PS and take it apart.........its not as hard as it looks...(did i say that already)....................good luck.

Of course im always looking to do it by hand........or by digital airbrush.......thats just how ive done it for years...... I aint that good at making filters mimic good chrome....ive seen good polished reflections but true reflective chrome..........ill be looking at what the gurus can do......im sure someone has figured it out....ill be watchin with antis..........................................Cyber

your truly are a wanker DC.. shame.. with your experience an all.. oh well ~Vp~

hehehe

Have you tried using Microsoft Image composer 1.5?

VP.......Another chance to take a jab at DC and he takes it..........wow.......Im impressed.....patience my young friend, the day is young. You should be feeling more comftable with my post any day now...give it time

You let a filter make your chrome and im a wanker......what ever that is..is a wanker someone who can paint chrome????...hehehehe.

a............wankaah..........es........someone............hoos...................period..........keeee...........stigs............

At least I think that's it .

hmmmmmmmm.... *continues up the hallway*

what an ass

mbridge: Are you watchin VP`s ass again, or do you mean the other Ass ?

And, I think, a wanker has something to do with being a tosser.( Did I stroke it on the head VP ? )

threep looks at vp walking up the hallway, his gluteus maximus flexing on each catwalk-choreographed step, and drools...
"mbridge, you're right on there... mmmmmmmm.... what an ass! must be all that mopping.... buns so tight he was bouncing off the walls, darling!"
feeling this is the appropriate time for a wolf-whistle, threep does so, his gaze still fixated on the poet's posterior.

looking at DB's post, threep edits to asks him:
"oooh yeah, i could 'stroke it on the head' too.... or did you mean 'strike'?"

Yeah, take it all of VP!

everybody needs a swamp bear

threep chuckles, and says:
"sure, i'll take 'all of VP'! i'm not if i can handle that much spunk, but i'm happy to die trying!
...or did you mean 'take it all off?' - either way sounds good!"

*walks a heck of a lot faster get a nasty feeling his famous shuffle is being watched* darn asylumnites... thast harassement you know! .. ... sheesh.. is nothing sacred.. *reaches the closet and steps inside closing the door firmly...ahhh.. just me and my mop... flicks light off* ~Vp~

threep flicks the closet light on, and says:
"all alone, huh? "

*locks closet door and flicks light off* ~Vp~

after 30 wild minutes, a 'click' is heard as the closet door unlocks. threep walks out, his feet barely touching the ground as he walks, smoking a cigarette.
he manages to utter with breathless words:
"so that's why he likes the mop so much - wow."
