oh god Tetsu I love your signature
Thank you! And I love you too random commenter! (whos name I can clearly see)...

Oh...

my sig...

damn.
That border does look a lot nicer. I never knew how you did it until you said all you have to do is smudge.

I didn't smudge this though. GIMP 2.8>Filters>Decor>Fuzzy Border>Change Color
Please, that border. Absolutely not XD I think it'll look fine without the border. That current border does not flow.

I never even noticed a fuzzy border option, lol.

I just usually added a regular border and then GimpProfessionist.

Not really. I mean, your signature is all nice and flowy, but then the border is solid and "obstructive". Here, I did this fuzzy thing to show you what would look better as a border (maybe):
Haha, a couple years back me and my friend used to derp around on Gimp, making animations and such.

I'm going to try myself at some signatures! Obviously no shop or anything, as I find no need for one while there are GFXers like Insomniac/Shirayuki/Tri on here. But maybe they will turn out well! Lol.
Good luck Smile

I'm not very good at animations, well I can't say I'm not good because I hardly know how to do them!
For borders, tbh if you're going to add one, usually one pixel borders look best Speechless

Looks like a Gingka render on a background (seems to be black once you get past all the fractals) with fractals spammed all over it. Text is too large and takes away from the focal.

It had a nice flow, Good lighting, and the render blends well with the background and the c4d's you used.

I don't have anything bad really to say. Maybe the render good be smaller, though. Big renders like that usually have LQ.
Have had some trouble rendering this:[Image: n1fbbq.jpg]
If anyone can do a GOOD job please render it for me.

How's this?
I'll probably end up touching it up anyways, but if it's good enough, may as well spare me the trouble, haha.
Hey thanks!

Cnc please
At your stages I'm going to be honest but don't use c4ds if you haven't learnt the basics. You shouldn't distract the render, just blend it in.

Anchor It is good and has good lighting. But the fact that you distracted the Render and has I blending ruins it. The c4ds are good and I like the color scheme. But it looks all over the place so try to fix it.
One Question
How to create Flow In A signature?

(Sep. 13, 2012  10:24 PM)Tsunaâ„¢ Wrote: Battlelion the signature looks messy and why did you out BLUE text? It ruins the whole signature, and all I can see is an image and some c4ds. The reason why it looks messy is because you placed the c4ds everywhere. For the text, stick with one color scheme or Atleast the color white.
It's a brush not C4d
Flow should actually be first priority in my opinion. When using c4d's try to make the c4d's go in the direction the render is going and try to add soft brushes on the bright parts of the c4d's to make it seem more appealing.

For smudging I would say just to smudge it in the direction the render is going and the opposite. And also try to add different color for smudging, and ofcourse gradient maps to change the color.
