Hi aLL

look at her works !! These are really very very cool !!
I tried to get these/similar kind of abstracty shapes but coldn't get what i want...
Do u know how to do therse kind of shapes ??
P.S. I am using 3DS Max and Photoshop.
ThanX 4 ur help
I'm no expert by any means, not even a beginner really. I have dabbled in it though.
You can get very far just by experimenting with:
- the noise & twist modifiers
- falloff transparency maps (material)
I don't think she used the transparency map, it gives more diffused, space-agey results.
Literally in 15 minutes I got the following, starting off with a torus, some modfiers, camera angle. Make sure you export as a TIFF with alpha channel included. I put in the gradient in PS to make it easier to see the structure.
I know it's not much but you can see where this is going ;) With experience and an actual eye for what you are after, you can achieve 10000 times more.
have fun + post your efforts!

heres the tip...im not expert...but i found a way to get similar results...
start off with a complex shape like a torus not..or a torus.
1. noise/twist/wave/bend/squeeze(modifiers)...anything that will get a wavy airy effect.
2. right click > convert to editable patch
3. right click > subdivide patch (repeat many many times..go crazy)
4. now...right click > extrude patch > now left click on any spot and pull this way and that...(repeat many many times)
5. go to modifiers > mesh smooth > interations-3 smoothness-1
now you shud have the right shape...if you did good on step 4
put a material on it if you want an even cooler look
i'm no expert but did you try emailing her and ask?
hey thx mates !!
and i tried mailing her , no answer....
btw, how do u think she does these cool BG effects ?? which tools in PS ?
i tried what you said but they did not give such flower-like (floweristic LoL) effects...
To get the "same" or very very similar shape, what do i need to do ??
experiment...its all i do...
The 3d was probobly a shape with noise added to it, maybe she didn't use 3ds max, so there might be a different technique she uses. While the backgrounds are just simply airbrushed. Here's something where I airbrushed the background.

i can help ya on the photoshop side the airbrush is jsut a brush setting whihc you can tunr on in photoshop. amazing if you ahve a tablet cos you can adjsut opacicity and size with pressure. as for the 3d witmer already gave you a step by step guide on hsi technique.
ps loving your xperience module you seem to ahve mastered 3d quite well so I think your best of developing your own style.
There is no exact tutorial for airbrushing, you just take the airbrush tool and pick a brush, i usually pick the smallest "jaggy" brush, or one of the larger ones. I only use the really soft ones for specific details, as far as the pressure it's usually at 1% to %5.
i actually like using the dodge tool! It can add a nice neat highlight or a shadow...and a glow.
