> $10 HONORABLE MENTION AWARD - The CLOWN Nebula by D.L.Furman Description: When Deep Explorer 414 emerged from superluminal space, the Captain, seeing the images from forward sensors began to laugh. "Don't you see him?" asked the Captain to his bridge crew. "The Clown!" It took a while, but the crew did manage to see a roly-poly clown in the nebula. The name stuck. - Encyclopedia Universal 30015th edition Applications Used: Just Photoshop and the UIC!!
> NICE JOB - FREE PEN AWARD - Exploring NanoUberTetrisSigma 1 by I. Alora Description: I kind of went nuts playing around with the Universe plugins and a few others in Photoshop Elements 5. I used UIC plugins to create a basic starfield, added some larger "textured stars", and used the 2.0beta plugin's "planet map" to create the planet. I used the Europa map and fiddled a lot with the ring controls, light colors (I used 2 lights) and the azmith and elevation for both the rings and the viewpoint settings. Then I popped back to the old UIC plugins again and used the galaxy effect on top of the planet. It took me quite a while to get the angle and sizing right on the galaxy so in overlayed on the planet the way I wanted. So now I needed a little ship or something to add some life to the image. I used KPT6's Scene Builder plugin to import a 3DS model of a space probe satellite on to my image. I selected just the satellite and used Red Paw's Bleach Bypass filter on it to give it a rougher appearence. After that I applied VanDerLee's Unplugged-X filter "Flip Intensity" to basically turn the black to white. I kind of stumbled on that effect and liked the reverse look for a space scene. It's different from the usual blackness of space. Then I just added couple of black outlined selections with PS Elements, selected the inside portion, copied onto a new layer and then added a drop shadow. Oh yeah, I also added my name to the bottom. :) Applications Used: Photoshop Elements 5, UIC plugin, UIC plugin 2nd Edition, KPT6-Scene Builder, Red Paw Media's Bleach Bypass filter, and VanDerLee's Unplugged-X 2.0.
