Also google around, there are quite a few tutorials on creating nice graphical buttons. You don't need a 3d program, just a few shading tricks. (maybe a pinching filter to give a 3d effect to the text). Take a look for example at: http://www.kci.net/~jesse/gimp/tutorials/buttons/ http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/3d_Logo/ More tutorials at: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/ Also for some basic 3d buttons created online take a look at: http://www.cooltext.com/ > Have a nice day > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
