  Diffusion on a flat surface

  Posted by Serge Leone on May 5, 2010 at 5:41 pm

  Hello,

  First off – i want to recreate a surface i saw on a flash app.
  It´s a virtual clone of a drum-machine.

  

  I don´t really know how they did the surface.
  I thought with a gradient mesh and very subtle changings – did not work out…

  same goes to 3d diffusion since its flat

  anyone got any clues leading me in some direction?

  thanks in advance

  Maybe something like this:

  It’s a radial gradient with a raster brushed metal tile on top. The edges are opacity mask gradients, accessed in the Transparency drop-down menu.
