As promised here it is. This tutorial was made to show a fast and easy to follow technique used to make glass orbs. Step 1: Create a new image with size of 150x150 pixels. create a new layer( ) and fill it with black (#000000). Step 2: Make a new lens flare (filter>render>lens flare), birghtness should be 100%, and Lens type should be 105mm prime. click ok and proceed to next step. Step 3: Go to filter>distort>polar coordiantes, Set options to "Polar To Rectangular". then go to edit>transform>flip vertical. so far your image should look like mine. Step 4: Once more go to filter>distort>polar coordiants, only this time, set the options to "Rectangular to polar" and select Ok. By now your orb should be taking shape, and should look similar to mine. Step 5: Select the eliptical marquee tool ( )and hold shift, then make a circle around your orb. Note: selection doesnt have to be perfect, its usually a good idea to select just inside of your orb, and outside it. Hold down ctrl+shift+i to invert your selection, then press delete, to remove the excess border from your image. Step 6: Now just resize your image, also, to change the color of the orb, go to image>adjust>color balance, and change the colors to whatver you want. Hope that helps. - MegaMan #nosmileys

nice, is there a way you could make one of these orbs look like earth, or any other planet? With a little graphical skill, of course there's a way.

Too bad that image above isnt mine.
Although i imagine it would be quite easy to make, as i have before with a blue one.
I'll post the tut for it later.

Nice tutorial. I was playing around with the orb, seeing if I could make it look cleaner, and I ended up making this:
