Preserved Topic: Ice

No, not vanilla. I'm wondering if anybody here has figured out a way to create realistic looking ice. I'm talking about jagged edges/frosted ice. I scanned through some old posts by Dracusis and found a couple tips that might help a bit.

I also found aluminum foil and crystal tutorials, but they aren't really what I'm looking for. If anybody has mastered the technique, please let me know.

BTW, I would eventually like to use this effect to create ice caves (:

(I'm using PS 5)

Thanks

There are a lot of ways to get a few nice ice effects;

- using eye candy 4000 (I can e-mail it to you if you like) (just under a meg) there are some melt and drip filters, when used in conjunction with some blur and lighting effects (to get the white highlights) you can get pretty close.

Some of these can be a little cheap looking, but by tweaking and playing, you may find some useful hints.

I was surfing around today and I remembered that I had seen some pretty good looking ice cubes and below is the link to it..........its an *action script* run it then study how it was done.

Ice Cubes

I asked about this a while back http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum3/HTML/001341.html
And when I was searchin for that one I found this http://www.ozoneasylum.com/Forum3/HTML/001414.html

the way I found to kinda make it was play around with those icy text tutorials.

The asylum's not a warez forum and most people would like to keep it that way. I don't mind if your use warez, just don't spread it around the forum. Kinda gives this place a bad name, ok. Cool.

my apologies...

it's been said now, now I know...

That's cool.. the whole 'No Warez sawping' thing isn't advertized so you wern't to know... I was possibly a tad harsh, so I'll appologise in return.

Welcome to the Asylum BTW, I can't remember seeing you around before..

Welcome to the Asylum Morgan. I don't think he was referring to you, but it's good to see some eagar leaners here in the Asylum. I hope you don't mind, I'm going to drop you a line probably by ICQ tonight.
