ORBS

well I decided it was time to place something up on here to show theres still life in me
first thing I must say is that this is based off a very helpin tutorial I tried out the other night(so if you have newish 3dsmax your in for a treat) [link] <=== this is 's orb tutorial which I can personally say is one of the actual useful tutorials I've seen here on dA(it doesnt have to do with fractal/abstract art for a change)
Also you should check him out, hes a great modeler of the 3d world for sure

only real dif' between what I've done and his tut is I went into volume lighting and created a metalic blue-berry car paint for the orbs and I used a HDRI image of a red type sky(and then tweaked with other settings, then with a lil(very very lil) post work in PS)

hope you guys likes and give most the credit to where it deserves
also sorry for the file size I uploaded it as a PNG
