Does anyone know how to make glass look cracked?I'm mean like it was hit or beat in.I'm thinking more of a car window.
If anyone knows a technique for this it would be appreciated.

no thats not quite wut i'm lookin for. I'm thinkin more cracked than shattered. You know how a window (that has that non shatter film)
looks when its hit and it doesn't shatter,that is wut i'm lookin for.
But thnx for tryin

I ran across this tutorial the other day! I didn't try it so I hope it's close to what you are looking for.

How extreme do you want the effect to look? Is it applied to the entire window or just a section?

There may be a few filters in PS than can help here. But there may be some clean-up/tweaking to be done too.

like hit with a baseball bat in one spot or so, not completely destroyed.
Actualy that tutorial isnt too bad, but if anyone knows anymore more realistic ones.

hi, i'm back! been away for a while... anyway, i think he's looking for something like a car window, where it has the shatterproof plastic, and it breaks into tiny peices about half an inch across each... then you need to deal in the circular motion (if it was hit with a bat, or a ball or something) Hope I helped!

Here... this'll show you what you're up against as far as the look of the effect goes.

Now can you think of any methods to recreate this effect?
