osx “look”
Hello all,
I’m trying to recreate the osx “look” with after effects for use in a slideshow for a client, and I’m having trouble getting the sort of glossy look that they use over their buttons and stuff…sorry I dont really know how to express what I mean really well but if you get the gist all help would be appreciated.

Check my homepage. There are several “text styles” to download. A platic reflection is among them as well as some glassy aqua-style setup. The techniques can also be applied to normal layers as long as the Alpha channel is intact to define the contours.

That is just one of many things you would probably need to do to achieve this look.

You can actually get pretty far by Screening a ramp/colorama combo in greyscale over your BG layer. Then set the points right for the soft grad at the top (to look like it’s reflecting a bounce card from the ceiling) then a hard cutoff near the middle (which gives the illusion that the plastic shell is hard (sharp specularity). Quick and dirty, but easy.
