How To Add 3-d Effect To Banners Like Shiver7.com

[ninjamunky 0]

There's a very popular 3d effect at the moment, in top banners and such, and I'm wondering how to do it. I'm looking at things like Shiver7.com and that sort of thing and wanting to do something like that for my site maybe. Anyone know any good tutorials to learn off of or can tell me themselves? I have 3DS Max 7

The one on shiver7 is most likely done with a photoshop brush, you can download them from deviantart and remember to ASK FOR PERMISSION to use it on your site ;D

There are many ways in which you could just do it photoshop not including the font, i suggest you go to http://www.pixel2life.com/ and search there and you should find about 12 tutorials on simple way in which you can do it without using thos e 3d rendering programs.

I personally would take the 3d max way out by making a abstract render and then exporting it to photoshop, use some brushes and effects, crop and valla! The hardest part would be to create the object in 3d Max but there are a lot of tutorials this day to do this...

That's exactly what I want to do, but, call me blind, I don't know what to look for and haven't seen such tutorials If you could link me to the best one you know of maybe, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks a lot for everyone's help thus far

I personally gave up on 3D Max, now I mess around with Cinema 4D because it seems easier...well I spent 5 mins on Pixel2Life website and found these two tutorials that seem good.
