    Nice roundup mate, I haven’t seen some of these articles (yet). When I have more time, I’ll make sure to try them: I really like light effects (who doesn’t?).

    Keep up the good work!

  2. User GravatarTom 3rd April 2009

    Thanks Marco. I think a lot of these tutorials are actually lesser-seen ones, despite being really useful.

  3. User GravatarAdam 3rd April 2009

    I used to think I could do good light effects but after seeing those I realize that I can’t. I’d love to know how to do all of those – could you put up tutorials?

    I love the 3D text too!
