Program: Adobe Photoshop
Difficulty: 1/5
Info: Make a quick, but still cool looking, 3D orb.
First Step: Make a 300x300 image.. Any background will work, but I used white.
Second Step: Make a border for your orb. First make a new layer, second choose the Elliptical Marquee Tool and hold down shift to make a perfect circle, next select two colors (a light and dark version of it) and use the Gradient Tool to fill it.
Something like this will work.
Third Step: Make another new layer as well as another circle that's smaller than the first first. Fill it with two colors as well, both light and dark.
Like this.
Fourth Step: Make another new layer as well as a new circle, alot smaller than the last two. Change the foreground color to white and then fill it. Set the opacity to a low number, I set it to 36.
Hopefully it should look like this.
And you're finished! Now you can add anything you want to it.. Like an inside image or a shadow if you'd like..
Here's something I wipped up in a few seconds..
Enjoy!
