Abstract effect or anything similar to this?

[Paolo Publico]

Gurus, thanks for your help last time. I would like to ask for your help again..
Is there any way to achieve an effect similar to this? Yes, this is from an animation, maybe from a 3D rendering program, but is it possible for photoshop?
Thanks again!

There is a neat trick in PS that I call step-and-repeat.

Start with a simple image like this ...

Then, follow these instructions:

Select the object or region of interest.

Hit, alt-control-T. Control-T would change you into the transform tool. alt-cntrl-T puts you in the copy and transform tool.

Move your object in any way, ie, displacement, size, angle.

HIT ENTER. This step is easy to forget.

Hit: alt-control-shift-T. This activates the copy and transform-again tool. Hit enter for as many copies as you want.


Depend on how you do the transform, you can wind up with patterns that look like this...

Make the starting pattern curvy and with dots, and the result can look even more like the example you posted.

HTH,

Tom

Paolo, nice to see you!

I have been searching like crazy to to find a tutorial on this kind of effect. I have found some that might help but none that actually re-create the effect you've posted.

I will say this, in my search, I've found several new effects that I have never seen before or even knew that Ps could do! So I thank your for your inquiry..............it has caused me to find new techniques that I may have never found otherwise!

I will keep trying to find a way to help with your question though! I do have some ideas.

Those look like they are from a visualization program like G-Force ( http://www.soundspectrum.com/g-force/ check out the screen shots). A screen capture program was probably used to grab the images. You could use a screen recorder and then a video editor to select and save individual frames of the video.

You can use 3D tools in PS to make things like these. Here is, for example, Repoussed ellipse with Twist and Scale from the inside POV:

You can create some really interesting abstract effects using the gradient tool and lighting effects with a layer texture.

It's just about all said.

Just make ellipse with Ellipse tool. Then 3D->Repousse... Set Depth ~ 4, Twist ~ 320, Scale - 0, Mesh Quality - Best.

For Extrusion Material make some gradient and starry pattern.

Use the Walk with 3D Camera tool to move the camera inside the figure and Object Rotate tool - to find the best view.

Some other 3D figures look good at close up views(outside or inside). Try Donut, etc...
