Making Photorealistic Icons

**carterdea** · 10-08-2006, 11:19 PM

Hi, I need to make some photorealistic icons. Similar to the ones in Mac OS X. I have done plenty of google searches to no avail, so if anyone knows a good tutorial on making them or knows how to make them, please tell me!

Thanks

mebbe it's because they are called "aqua" icons? try searching that.

I did the search. I couldn't find any better things.

What do you mean by "photo realistic"?

They are done in 3D man

There are some plg-ins and proggies that make pics look like 3d. So, if you need tutorial, search for 3d icons

which plugins are those? and what is a proggie? (program maybe?) That tut was good, but I'm looking for objects other than orbs and such.

thank you guys
