    If you look at the bottom you will see a texture bar.
    Thats very realistic looking.

    I realize photoshop is used to create this. Or maybe Maya? But does anyone have any sites that show the process of how to achieve this photo relativistic interfaces?

    I would like to understand more about how these interfaces are created.

    Or even this >

    Look at the swirly colour effects in the background and the bright illumination. How are these looks created?

    Thanks!

    the site is just vector shapes with brushed-on gradients. use a large flat brush in photoshop to paint on a layer of light or dark directly above your shape, then apply your paint layer to the shape layer by alt-clicking between them on the layers palette. looks like some objects have a 1px "bevel & emboss" style applied to them, and some big soft dropshadows. add these in the "blending options" drop-down you get by right-clicking the layer.

    your second example, the player, is basically just objects with a dirty texture thrown over them. build your layout using stock images or 3D renders (for the buttons, etc) and do the rest in photoshop. make sure you get your lighting right, then just filth it up with some stock textures

    • the 3rd, seriously, is just making shapes in PS, blurring, applying textures to them, etc. all hand-done. easy stuff.scarabin

    So if you want more of 3d realistic look Maya is the way to go?
    This is not just ALL photoshop?

    • You'll be surprised what you can do in Photoshop. You need an artistic/design eye to learn what makes something look 3d...mikotondria31/3
      bullshit - you just need to be geeky and lonely enough to sit there pushing pixels til something comes of them.detritus2/3
      If thre's one thing I've learnt on the net it's that photoshoppery != design/ artistic competence.detritus3/3

    I'm not looking for what I know - what I dont know. Just looking for the technical process and what tools are used to create these looks. THANKS GUYS.

    I always though this shit was cheesy, but I have been asked to do some very realistic work... Just wondering if anyone had experience with this type of task.

    • I haven't done anything like this since maybe 2001-2002 when Flash was still en vogue.ETM

    The first example looks like someone took a picture of a paper towel's texture, then overlayed gray on it.

    check out PS365 too, download some of the zip files and see how the layers/affects are used.
