Making a GEM tutorial

Hallo and welcome in Hallo and welcome in making a GEM tutorial. In this tutorial we will make a stone. The thing is here is to figure our how the light bounces out of the many sides of the gem. Such things are often used in different RPG s and other games so hope you will find out something new for you. Moreover we will make a small series about the rocks, their texture and reflections.

Now let’s make a polygon gem.



I'm beginning to make a background here. In fact this is less important and you can make any background you want.

I will make it this way. Do some painting with the brush.



Blur the whole thing.



Transform and warp.



Use a mask to hide some effects. Oh and do flip the thing.



Now for the GEM. Choose polygon shape tool and make a shape.



Select the whole polygon, lower the opacity and create a new layer.







For filling the area with texture i will use a basic Flat brush. Actually you can use any brush with ripped edges.

Here are my brush settings. I will use my tablet to control pen pressure.
