Is the Render Clouds what you used to start the background in your "Lord of all Creation" graphic?



Maybe you could do a space gas tutorial, if you have time.

I'm looking for something like that as a background for "In the beginning was the Word..." so I can animate key words an phrases as the passage is being read.

It took a long time to do. Not even sure if I remember how I did it. I still have the psd and I have reposted the image here.

Thanks. That should help.

For me Dry Brush at 10, 0, 3 works a bit better than Bas Relief.

That's what's so cool about PS... there are 10 different ways to achieve the desired effect.
