Try looking on http://robouk.mchost.com/ - this guy has got tutes on how to draw metallic surfaces. :) I've tried them and they do work. Once you know how to get the appearance, you can apply it to a whole interface. :)

So you think that it probally was dun in PS?

I can't see the site you linked to, it's coming up with a Bad Gateway error... But I've seen some 3D style interfaces before... Mostly they're done in Photoshop, yes. Sometimes people do them in programs like 3DS Max, but at a guess I'd say mostly PS. :)

sorry its comin up with the bad gatway error because of a comma after the link http://www.trendax.com try that.

Ah, got it now, cheers. :)

Yeah, I'd say that was done in Photoshop. Go to RoboUK, and have a look at his Orb Interface tute. That tells you how to do something similar. You can adapt that to suit your needs I would think. :)

Trendax was created by WhosWe Studios so I doubt the main interface was created with PS alone. It's most likely created with a 3D program like 3DSmax and touched up with PS.
