One thing before I give ti to you
If you do it be sure to post your results I am very interested on what you guys can come up with!!!
This was done for one or two requests and is one of my fav sigs have fun with it.

This is an easy to do tut if you know what you are doing, so if you don't understand things like paths, gradient maps or clipmasking it might be a bit hard.



Edit: Alright guys, since someone wanted the render I posted it.... but I dont know who made it. I found it on planet renders and it had a logo but i removed it so I could use it. Anyways, if you search on planetrenders.com im sure you can find who made it. Here it is:


Edit: Edit: Okay here is the link to the c4d I used...Remember, I desaturated it then colorized it!!!

Thanks for sharing man. I'll be sure to post my results.

Okay thanks looking forward to it.

thx for tut...really wanted it one this

Here's my result dude. I think I'll current it :l:

Nice result Nino but I want to point out a few things... First, make sure the border is black (green looks bad i tried it once). Im not sure but did you do the gradient maps? Well either way its a nice result and thanks a lot for trying my tutorial.

@Aik: how could i not tut ir when everyone wanted it...

Ya , I did the grad maps. I'll post a different version with a black border. Good thing I saved the .xcf

Lol ok, has anyone else done this?

Gah I think you won that sig battle with this didn't you? Or you are going to lol. I'm still not advanced enough with the paths tool so I didn't get to far.

There are tons of tuts online for path tooling, dont be afraid to try them out since they can make the difference between a good sig and a great sig.

awesome frank34443 i will try when i get a awesome render

i didnt know alot of these techniques

very different with a cool smooth out
good thing i have been practing with the path tool:)

real nice outcome...real nice clipmasking as well

Nice tut d00d! =P

I'll try this and will post my outcome if I could get the links to the C4Ds. The Ryu render would also be appreciated but isn't necessary. :l:

my outcome sucks but it was my first time with ur awewsome technique, clipping masks, and especially the paths tool
well i know it sucks dont laugh at me too hard:



btw: probably the best sig i have ever seen for gimp is the on u made in that tut

Alright guys thanks for all the replys, but come on I want to see what you guys can come up with I have only seen two outcomes. Thanks for all the compliments but I really do think you guys are overrating me... well anyways, thanks to everyone who has/will try it.

@el Elric: Thats not a bad outcome actually considering you are new and you tried a tut like this.... I hope you will get even better very soon :w:.

ALSO I WILL GET YOU GUYS THE RYU RENDER LINK AS SOON AS I CAN...BUT I REMOVED THE CREDITS SO I DONT HAVE TO REMOVE IT EVERY TIME I USE THE RENDER, SO IM NOT SURE IF IM ALLOWED TO POST IT.. CHECK THE FIRST POST IN LIKE 5 MINS FOR THE RENDER LINK.

lmao! i just looked at another tut and saw that for the paths tool i could do Edit > Trace path lol i tried like making it then filling it and it was realyl hard

ok well i tried it again and got defintly a better result here

Yeah you are getting better! But for some reason I can't help thinking that you misread soemthing... Better result, good job.

Thanks alot for the render of Ryu, Frank, but do you have the links to the C4Ds? :w:

Great tut. I'm doing it now. I'll post result when I'm done.

That's a cool result, I'd love to do it...If it would load faster! :c: Once it loads, i might give it a shot.

Ok... Also guys I can't post the c4d online since Im short on time so Ill give you the planet renders c4d link in a few mins...
Thanks to everyone who will try it.

It is not showing up
I see a little red x in the top left hand corner...

PS: Ill get the c4d up pretty soon guys...

Hallelujah it worked
Now time to work on it
