gold orange porsche medium2 20080910 194530 Build a Porsche out of orange peals... in Photoshop, obviouslyI’ve been meaning to post a link to this tutorial for a while now and while everyone is still talking about the new iPods and the array of cases, docks, speakers and FM transmitters that have been or will be adjusted to fit them, it seems like a nice diversion.

Orange Porsche. Fruit Skin is a tutorial from Alfoart that will ultimately teach you how to apply any texture to any object in a realistic way. For a donation via PayPal, you can download the Photoshop file for yourself and deconstruct how it was created as you follow the freely available tutorial step by step.

Amazing work.
