Illustartor/Photoshop Type Effects

[seanmacintosh]

Hey y'all,

Does anyone know a good technique to attribute that 'bling bling' effect for a typographic heading of a magazine. You know, like diamond crusted or gold or something like that?

Thanks.

Check out the eplastic tutorial on phong.com (http://www.phong.com/tutorials/eplastic/)

You can expand that to have any reflective/shiny surface.
