Tentacles

Having looked at the Tentacles tutorial for PS, which I don't have:(

I was wandering if anyone knows of a tutorial or a way of doing them in PSP?

Thanks

i got a few ways i do it, even though i havent got a tutorial written up for it, ill just explain it as easy as i can...

in a new layer, make a triangle selection and fill it with white
go to "3D Effects" and click outer bevel....and use these settings:

Width: 1
Smoothness: 100
Depth: 5
Ambience: 5
Shininess: 0
Color: White
Angle: 316
Intensity: 42
Elevation: 31

Deselect, and go to "Geometric Effects" and click twirl, set it to something lower then 80...experiment...this is just one way that i do mine, theres lots of way u can do it....

Mi'rage (m&-'räzh) n. something illusory and unattainable.

another (yet cheap) way i do it, is like this...

in a new layer, make a long horizontal rectangle selection....
fill it with a vertical gradient, colored: white ---> black
go to "Geometric Effects" and click Perspective - Horizontal
Set it to -100 or 100, both work....
go to "Geometric Effects" and click Twirl
Set it to something below 80 and violla

Anything above 80 might make part of the tentacle seem fat, it just wont look right, the only way to make it look good if its set over 80 is if its long and thin....just experiment with both ways....
