Ranticks Homeroom

May i take Paint classes?

So could you make an example of what we are doing? 'cause I don't understand. >_<

Aaron/Grim : You can get one picture and that is all you are allowed. You can shrink/enlarge, smudge, blur/sharpen the image. You can dupelicate it too. But you can do nothing else. And remember, I will notice a brush or two here and there!

gpig3 : sure you can. What would you like to start on?

and accepting gpig3 has reminded me to fix up the first post

and if either of you have MSN, could you add me. I have a new e-mail adress, so yeah.

Sure I'll add you wats your address

And yeah did you said like this:


what i did is that i just smudg it around the the birds winds and blur sone parts of the sig.

ps: Rantick i want to ask you what is the best way to save a sig as ( i always saved it as a gif or png)

Here's mine, all I did is smudged it and add some color to the backround. I can add you to msn if you want ^_^.

Aaron, that is a realy good design idea! bluring the wings realy is good. I absolutely love it. And save as .png. For transparency use a .gif tho, png hates transparency.

Grim, that is a realy good desions also, I like the way you added smudged bits and that to the background.

Now for your next asignment I will ask you to find out WHAT you can about C4Ds. Use Wikepedia or ask in the forums or whatever. I find research is a realy great way to get better at making graphics. Then try to find out how to use them effectively in signatures

After you have found out all you can about C4Ds, add one to the signature in the assighnment as best you can.

Ok now u put us a hard one there i could only fin out people use them in making graphics< nsd also found some tutorials.

Tried Wikepedia?

Is a C4D Cinema 4D or something like that, 'cause that's all I could find. I don't really know what it is...

Edit: Found some stuff. I was made in 1990's, they use for making animated movies, like Monster House and Open Season.

Okay, now as I said, try to find out how to use them effectively in a signature. It took me quite a while to find pretty much everything about them, but my teacher (different forum, AQF if you are wondering) told me to do that and I learnt C4D's quite effectively. Then when you think youve learnt enouph about them, add one-three to the signature you both made before.

I found some tutorials, but i dont get them they say to do something like a RADIAL GRADIENT FOR THE BACKGROUND how you do that,
here's the linkPsychoX2's C4D Turorial [GIMP] [Advanced] - Nintendo NSider Forums Help - Nintendo NSider Forums
I also learn some neat stuff about Cinema 4d

basicly, use a gradient. Now on the main window with the tools and things, look at the bottom and look for a drop-down box. Set that to radial

Heres my Sig:

Ok here's mine:


or did u ment the sig where we had to blur and smudge ( I'm kind of slow some times) (brain death)

I meant these signatures :

Ok, I just finished with the first lesson. It's not going to look anywhere near what it does on the tutorial, because TG doesn't have the same things as PS, but here you go.

Onward!

EDIT:

Okay, now here's my finished product for the brushes and one (or less) render thing. I just used grunge, plasma, and then scanlines, text, and a few filters. I hope it's okay...


EDIT: Wow. I'm finishing these rather fast. Here's the smudging/blurring tutorial's finished piece. I think that without anything in the background, it seems too plain. Also, the original render I started with was a lot sharper than this one.



EDIT: Ok, and now here's the smudged/blurred signature, this time with a C4D render.
