Has there ever been a show created or a tutorial done on how to make a Christmas ornament? Seems it could be accomplished with a 3d model and reflection fx?????
A search didn't come up with one, but thought I'd seen one on the Forum a couple of years ago???
Michiel - I have no 3D models, but any round conventional ball that would effectively accomodate a reflection effect would be great! Recent HD crash has me struggling for assets, files, links, etc.
Thanks for any help.

You can create a ball with the picture layer. Simply select SPHERE in the 1st dropdown listbox below the textbox.
To use the current picture as a reflectionmap:
-press F9
-unmark the TRY TO KEEP TEXTURES AND EFFECT MATCHED checkbox
-press the SELECT EFFECT button and choose the file ReflectionMap.fx

I created a perfectly round ball in PS, with shading, etc., flattened and saved as PNG. When I applied Sphere, it became a pear!

Nice trick to make a pear :)
When you remove the shading and the transparency info, I'm sure the sphere will be round.
