fairly easy smoke signature tutorial

Tovay u vil learn how to make zis signature


yours will probably turn out better


Ok start of with a new image about 360X135




now paste in a stock that fits the render you plan to use, since my render will be smoke from mortal kobat i'll use this smoke stock



paste in your render as a new layer and position it where it looks good



now filter>enhance>sharpen, i cant tell you what to settings to use because all renders are different quality, so just make it look good:



now duplicate your render, smudge the top copy to give it flow, and set it to dodge mode(feel free to mess with opacity), it should look somthin like this:



now duplicate the smudged layer and put it below the other copy's (play with opacity if you want) it should look like this:



flatten the image and duplicate the layer(the appearance shouldn't change)

now filter>artistic>soft glow, set the top bar to about 3.99 but leave the other 2 alone, set the layer on lighten only at 60.6 opacity, then flatten the image. Result:



Now open up a c4d that looks good and paste it in, set it to 56 opacity on darken only



there are 2 ways to do the next step. You're going to get the color to match the rest of the sig, u can color>colorize or color>color balance, either will work just fine. Feel free to mess with opacity to make it look better. result:



flatten image and duplicate layer, again nothing should change. now make a clipping mask with a splatter brush and set it to 100% on multiply. Cobra made a clipping mask tut that can be found in this URL

erase any unwanted parts, result



now add some text set the color to white, and make the layer type overlay, its probably a good idea to duplicate the text layer one or 2 times, after that your done




congrats you made a fairly quick siggy
