Just about done with the network icons.

| Icon 21 (Network Computer) This should be the the last of the Network related icons for now. Most people never see this icon, but I always feel bad if I don't include all the supported icons. It is also nice to have since people use it for a lot of other things. |

| Step 1:
First we copy our My Computer icon. .jpg) |
Step 2: Now I take our image of Earth from the other night and crop it down a bit. .jpg) |
Step 3: Using the Bitmap Perspective effect I give it a bit of a taper, and Crop it down to fit in our monitor as our screen image. .jpg) |
| Step 4: Now that I have our bitmap in place I give it some Gloss. .jpg) |
Step 5: Using some rectangles and the Mesh Fill tool I draw in a cord below the monitor. .jpg) |
Step 6: I using some more rectangles and the Mesh Fill tool, I draw in some graphics that will be my cable joins. .jpg) |
| Step 7: With the Mesh Fill tool I sculpt our Cable joins to look more metal. .jpg) |
Step 8 I finish up the cord with the Mesh Tool, and make a drop shadow off the cord. I also use the Interactive Transparency tool to fade out the edges of the bitmap and shadow. .jpg) |
