Stormy Orb Tutorial

-----------------------------------

Hey guys, heres another tutorial, one of my personal favourites. Sorry its kinda long lol. here we go


1. New document (500x500)

2. Filter > Render > Clouds

3. Filter > Render > Difference Clouds 

4. Press "Ctrl+F" to repeat the Difference Clouds Effect. Press this about 20 times, until you get a rigid look similar to this.

OK, that really is quite nice. But I think the shine might be a bit too much. It looks as though the ball is emitting light. Could you make it glow (blue) and make it less reflective looking?

Ah, now I get it. The shine was covering up the seam  :P

hehe :-D. Well everytime you do the difference clouds it always goes random. Sometimes theres no seam, sometimes there is.Darn bad luck lol

There's gotta be a way. Perhaps some strategic blurring could help?

Nice tutorial!

And since clouds are random, I doubt you could get it the same way as the original pic o.O keep trying :P
