i was watching star wars and i wondered how can i achieve that energy shield that the droids have

this thing involves a few layers and the spherize filter from distort tab and some layer fx. here you can download the psd to take a look if you want. the layer above the blue sphere was done after extracting it from the blue sphere. you do that by control shift clicking multiple times the layer with the spherized texture then you go on the layer with the blue sphere and ctrl+j (and that creates a new layer with the current selection). also i think you dont need to render the ball to make it look like a sphere. also look close at the opacity and fill sliders of the layers. for those who dont know what they do or the difference go to google and find the answer

also pay attention to layer modes also
