crazy 3d shapes..how?

[hojo]

in photoshop i've seen some really nicely done things, like dans splash. some've said that extrude is the tool to use, but when i use it it comes out with some triangular boxy things that aren't what im aiming for.

things like below are what im aiming for, anyone?

Extrude in photoshop? Or do you mean 3dsmax?

In case it's 3dsmax you're talking about, after extruding, use Meshsmooth on your object, and the choose your level of complexity... 3-4 usually does it...

This is something similar...: click here (http://www.voidix.com/glasscrystal.html)

Dan used 3D Studio Max for his splash page and avatar.

Although you can find some pretty cool Photoshop tutorials on that www.voidix.com site.
