Is there a way or a software that can make a circular graphic into 3D?

If you check out my homepage, you'll see a circular "G" on the left. I want to make it look like a 3D ball.

Yes it can be done. You will need to make the ball behind it into a sphere. A tutorial on how to do that is available at: http://www.eyeball-design.com/tutorial_afterfx10.htm

Good luck.

Thanks.

I was experimenting with Adobe Photoshop when I found something cool. (You may call me ignorant, but I just wanna share this.)

First, make a circular selection. Then choose a color, and make a gradient 45 degrees across the circle.

Then go to [Layers, Render, Lens Flare] and choose the point where the sunlight comes out and you get a cool image.
