How to Make a Glass Cube

This tutorial is available as a PDF. Click here to view or download it

I decided to do a quick tut on how to make a glass cube. I just want to let you all know that there are many ways to create one. Like always, you have to think outside the box and use some of your own creativity.

I hope you find this tut easy to follow and useful.

(The texture I used here was what I used for my Crimson Orb.)

Here's the original image that I made:

You might need to make the cube a little lighter and then duplicate the layer for it to come out more.

Very creative, but the outcome isn't that nice. (no offense)

Yep. That's why I said "think outside the box." :wink:

well,i like it very much..

nice tut,i'll try it later

WOW, very nice. I'll work on trying it

This is so cool Helen , I got messed up with the step after color balance so I took off on my own and came up with this . I think mine looks like there's a bird in flight at least it looks that way ..

@georgian: Thanks for your kind words.

@LJXD: I can't wait to see how yours will turn out because I expect different results for everyone.

@sokagirl: Very nice result. I like it very much!

Thanks for creating this because I had fun creating something else too a mask

thanks for this Helen

gonna have a try with it and see what i get

Third try. The first two are not so good. And I haven't quite got the hang of highlights.

@blackpenny: Very, very nice outcome. Beautiful work. And the highlights are spot on.

Thanks Helen. It took a few tries to get the gradient right, plus reading the instructions *carefully*.

I'm having lots of fun with tutorials, and learning a lot too.
