pretty darn nice.
Nice tut man, i might use this 1 day
Thanks awesome tut, but few critiques… in step 6, the “world” you have to select with the magic wand by holding shift. your way did not work for me. and step 9, you have to apply the spherize to not only the top layer, but the actual world as well. other than that, it was awesome.
really cool stuff, I will try it now… =)
