Looks nice. Hmm seems like everybody's doing the trendy crystals nowadays...

Digi: try Niklas' crystal tut, and then take it into photoshop, play with the different Blending Modes. You can also adjust curves, gaussian blur, etc...

Don't worry DM, you know we don't like secrets at SLW. It is a fairly simple technique. Nichlasindustries has a tutorial on it. Basically what you do is make a crazy, wild, L33t model, subpatch and send to layout. For the surface, set the color you want, luminosity to about 30% (I set mine to a gradient of 30% @ 0, 100% @ 45, 45% @ 90 with light incidence). Set a gradient on the transparency. Mine is 0% @ 0, 80% @ 90 with light incidence. Last thing to do is set additive transparency to about 35% to start, the higher the number, the more the shot glows. Save out as a 32-bit PNG and play with in Photoshop until you get the look you want.

Nice images guys. I've never been a big fan of more abstract stuff, but these weird crystalline things are really beginning to grow on me...

But remember, if you want it as a wallpaper, it's also the 2D that counts!
