A few weeks ago, my friend wanted to know how to make 3D spheres out of Photoshop, and I didn't know how to do it, but I was really interested in it, so I thought I'd try it once.
So in this tutorial I'll show you how to make a nice 3D sphere, with just a few simple tools and filters, just 30 minutes, but this technique is really useful, especially for icons and logos
