That was sooo cool!
I think I'm going to try that with my son in a position to hold a sword or something fantastical. He loves fantasy books so he'd get a kick out of that.
I would, in the mean time, really love to know how you did the ball and then also the glow from it. All of the other looks like something I can do based on the tricks in your tutorial.
It's amazing how many tricks there are in PS. Even with me whose been using it for 8 years or so.
Thanks for the tutorial. Nice!
