EDIT, Added a part
Its rated intermediate - advancded cuz i wont be explaining everything, you should know how gimp works

Every time you put something over the renders face, take out the lasso and go around the face then press ctrl+x or cut, itll make it look better

I found a ps tut and kinda followed it but changed many parts to my liking

Alright this is my first tut and i will be showing you how to make the folowing sig



1. Start off with a black bg and take a soft brush and color a white circle with the opacity at 30%


2.Take out your render, duplicate it 3 times, hide the top 3 and place it where you like and smudge, mode normal100%


3.Unhide the second one and smudge again, and set the mode to dodge at 100%


4.Unhide the next one and smudge again, leave it normal


5.Unhide the last one and smudge again and set to dodge 100%


6.Use first C4d that i included and rotate it straight up vertically, on dodge 100%


7.Take the next c4d and find a good spot for it and put it to dodge at 100%


8.Now take out your render and place it on top the smudge layers


9.Take the flamyc4d and add it about 4-5 times at different spots and set to dodge 100%


10.Take out the first c4d again and rotate it to the direction of your render and set to dodge at about 32%


11.Now copy visible layers, paste, then click new layer to paste the layer (Vo1tures trick :p) and set to screen


12.Do the copy visible layers and paste and set layer to multiply


13.Do the same again but set to overlay


14.Take out the second c4d again and find a good spot then set to dodge


15.Copy visible layers trick again and set to multiply


16.Take te flamyc4d and put it on about 4 times, two of them on soft light 80 % and 2 grainmerge 47%


17.Copy visible layers trick again, and i just colored a bit of white at the bottom left and added a scan line



18.Text, do what you want but i made a square, rounded the corners, filled in with white 35%opacity, used path tool, stroke path for letter


19.Border, make a new layer, select all, then stroke selection at about 1-2 pixels, in black


20.EDIT: ADDED PART
alright i added this part to add something to the left side. i copied visible layers and pasted then moved over to the left side and put it to addition at 9% then took out a c4d, that was bubbly, duplicated it twice and set the first to dodge 100%, second to screen 100% and the third to dodge at 69% . i think it looks a little better now


C4Ds i used, not mine, didnt make them

Good Luck and i hope to see some results :w:

Well Like in My PM to you I used a different way of doing the TUT in GIMP and heres the way I did it outcomes

Man i cant wait to get back to my comp with gimp! nice tut, cant wait to try!

Thanks.

Thanks im glad you like it, cant wait to see a result :w:

Nice tut, I missed a few bits out, but it helped a lot! Here's my result (render tis Lyn Z from Mindless Self Indulgence):



It's a bit dark, though ... don't think it works quite as effectively with red!

Very nice result, i really like it, i dont find the dark makes it bad at all :w:

Thanks so much mate, the tut is great and in so much depth, I really needed something like this. This tut has taken me from being crap at C4Ds to OK at them, here's what I mean.

Last C4D sig


Your tut C4D sig

Vortex, I would suggest colorizing the c4ds to match your render.

monkey: Ncie tut! I love the result.

Thanks alot, nice results vortex,and ya if you colorized them it might look better, but it still ks great and im glad i could help :w:

It is a nice tut i will post my result soon and i put advanced because you did not explain to much of the tut.but other than that it is pretty you need some basic C4D skills to do this tut.

Hope to see your results

Great tut. The only thing that I don't like about it is how bright it is. It hurts my eyes.

I skipped a few steps but I think it turned out alright.




I skipped steps on both of them.

nice results but if you want to make it darker you can screw around with black and white gradient maps or something,or with the darkness thanks for trying my tut :w:

what brush do u sugest to do most smudging? I cant find a good one that i like.

Um for this particular one i used some brushes that were posted on here by Gunther, somewhere on this site and some kind of oily type of brush, ill try to find them and post them but i forget where i got them, you can also use the default brush galaxy big, i think its called, its not a bad one either

Here are some, this is the topic and there are two you can download
