Well this is my very first tutorial
i modified a Photoshop tutorial

http://www.pixel-designz.net/tutorials/view/7/Realistic_Bullet_Holes/1/


1- Open up a new file 100px x 100px

2- Fill the background with any colour you like except black or white

3- Create a new layer and make a circle using the selection tool shaped like a circle and postion it roughly in the center and fill it with black so you have this




4- Deselect ctrl+shift+A and create a circle around your bullet hole but make it slightly smaller and press 'quickmask'

5- Go to Filters>distorts>Waves and set the values as below



6-Press ok and turn off quickmask, then invert your selection Ctrl+I
and fill with white



7-Create a circle around the black swirl and have a white outline, invert selection and delete Ctrl+K



8- De-select and go to Filters>Blur>Gauissian Blur and set the Blur Method to IIR and the value to 4

9-Then go to Filters>Blur>Motion Blur set the blur type to linear, length to 9 and the angle to 0, do this again but set the angle to 180



10- Drop shadow (Script-FU>Shadow>Drop-Shadow values are
Offset X: 5
Offset Y: 5
Blur Radius: 5
Colour: Black
Dont allow resizing and the opacity is 80

do this again except you have to change the offsets to -5



11- Merge all layers together except the background

12- Resize the bullet hole to 10px X 10px



13- copy the image and destroy something, like this guys new car



And your done

Put this in the 'user submitted tips/tutorials' section, the gallery is not the right place for this.

But nice tutorial!

Thanks, sorry about that

Hey, that's quite effective when you scale it down and plunk it down on something, like that car. Thanks for making this tut....and don't worry, it'll get moved to the right forum :w:

Very nice results.

thanks for sharing.

regards

I suggest that instead of copying and pasting, you save the bullet as a brush, making it much easier to put it around anywhere.

Good idea, i think i`ll do that right now

I actually tried this with photoshop and the results weren't as good

what is 'quickmask'????

This tutorial is excellent for making sigs. Thanks for posting it :l:

I'm not sure how to explain it but it is in the bottom right your window

could you attach the brush you made because mine turned out horrible

Hope this works, tell me if it doesn'tand then tell me the problem
