help on glass effect

[omarello]

hello,

i am trying to do this glass effect but it seems awkward to me, so i wanna shre it and see what u have to say about it.

i included text inside, in order to see it appears as if it is inside a glass thing.

Glass efects aren't hard at all, just use a white to transparent gradient and start it about 50 pixels away from the object until where you want it to end.
Voowahla! Glass.

thanx alot dude.

one thing though , i found a couple of tutorials, but the thing is that the shape i am doing is different from what they explain, thats why it seems awkward, cause i don't know where to apply all those shade and gradients and stuff like that..

hope u can find me others, thanx a lot.

Your welcome. Just play with them a litlle. It is a little more difficult when you have odd shaped objects like that. Good luck with your skin.
