Looks good you guys.

Sonic, is that orb floating next to his head the light source?
The light looks like it's more coming from off the sig than anything.

Funny you said that, I was just thinking the same thing. I'm going to edit it anyway.

Just make a new one

Yeah that's what I mean, same render, sans the templar. How are they too big, gives the theatrical look, and still keeps the subject in frame.

.

Same with this one, abstract design behind subject

Again, I'm not knocking anyone, just this trend that's been going on for years, is boring.

1. Its not a resized pic, its all original

2. This has come up a lot and as I have said before, styles change...

3. Making a sig like this takes practise and a certain amount of skill.

Make one as an example to show me what you see as original, it will help me understand a bit more what you would like to see.

But, really, what else can I do with these kinds of renders...

Yeah you're right styles definitely change, maybe I've just caught them all at the same time when they've resurfaced.

I'm getting the feeling I offended you, which wasn't my intention at all. I really do like your Sig mate, just commenting on how so many sigs seem alike.

Hmmm... if ever any of you guys want to give me a "tutorial" of how to make those kind of sigs, that'd be awesome. (btw I have Adobe Photoshop 7.0)

And that sig looks good Oldirti.

Get on TS later and I'll give you a tutorial.
I've got 7.0, you can't get as many perks as CS3 but it works.

**Havok** · 10-05-2008, 08:28 PM

Won't be able to get on later, and probably won't get online tomorrow... maybe Wednesday?

Sonic · 10-05-2008, 08:44 PM

send me a PM and I'll make sure I'm free.

Anyone know how to convert an image from 16 bit per channel to 8 bit so I can try to move a render into a layer? Below is what the error message says...

Error Message: Could not use the move tool because it does not work with 16 bit per channel images (convert image to 8 bit per channel to edit).

open it in PS save as and somewhere there's an advanced tab, i'm too lazy to look it up now though...
there's no special convert function just save as a 8 bit image.

can you record that?
i'd love to know how you make the renders blend into the background so nicely!

Sonic · 10-07-2008, 05:58 PM

It didn't work out as havok's photoshop was being stupid.
I'm making a written tutorial now. I do have videos on youtube...
