PDN Fanatics

This is a gemstone I'm allowed to use from another digital scrapper. She uses that "other" graphics program that costs an arm & a leg. I've been trying like crazy to get a close duplicate in PDN. I see kaleidoscope and tiles, but what else? Anyone have any ideas?

I see light rays, and glass tiles. All the plugins we have from the main board could pull off this trick. Main thing is to experiment.

We can do much better with PDN, did you check out my gem tuts first?
And Version3 is on the way.....hopefully very soon.
And, looking at the image from that other program.....I have some new ideas.

Yeah right you can do some good ones with PDN I made this a while ago:

Nice gems ash and sargon. I'll keep experimenting. The "light rays" come from layer blending modes I think. I blend them with difference and use curves to get a different look.

I am not just showing you the image, I made 2 tutorials on making gems using PDN.
Or did I misunderstand you?

I saw the tutorials, Ash. I'll experiment with them, too.

Gamer_World14 made a great looking gem too Click ... there's instructions Here ... about 15/ 16 posts down

Did you do this with Ash's tut? If not how did you do this?

@WB:

Ahhhh thanks Ash ... I've often wondered how I could do that ... but always felt it was a stupid question to ask
nice one mate

I just used the long way to do that, no special tutorial used, see my video for doing that:

@Sargon: WOW!!! Great video. Now I have to ask you, what software program did you use to make the video?

Thanks, for this video I used the Debut Video Capture Software, it is from NCH Software, you can find it here, and there is 3 versions I have downloaded the free one and it is not bad:

The only problem it has, ( or may be I am not using it in the right way) is that it showing itself when you are capturing the screen, so you have to use it in a tricky way to hide it in your video.

EDIT/ I don't know if it is allowed to post a link here, check your PM.

Thanks. I'll definitely check it out. Your video is now on my computer and I will be checking it out. I know that the technique you demonstrated there will be very useful for me .
