Outcome:

1. Fill the canvas with black, and brush with white using a grunge brush. After you have completely filled the whole layer with the grunge brush, go to Image > Adjustments > Auto Contrast, then go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen Edges, then finaly go to Edit > Fade Sharpen Edges and do an opacity of 50%. Make a new layer. Repeat Step 1. another 2 times using different grunge brushes.

4. Make a new layer and fill the canvas with black. Get your best abstract brushes and brush with white. After you have completely filled the whole layer with the abstract brushes, go to Image > Adjustments > Auto Contrast, then go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen Edges, then finaly go to Edit > Fade Sharpen Edges and do an opacity of 75%.

5. Put the Abstract Layer below the two grunge layers set on soft light, and set the Abstract Layer to Hard Light.

6. If the Background is too dark, lower the opacity to 75/80%, if its still bad, a lower opacity won't really make it look good, so repeat Steps 5 and 6 using a different abstract brush set.

Optional. If you want depth in the sig, make a new layer above all the layers and click "D" to restore the colors to default, go to Filter > Render > Clouds, and set the layer to overlay, lower the opactiy to an appropiate setting.

7. Put your Render into the sig, resize it and put it to an appropiate position.

8. Duplicate the render and go to Filter > Blur > Motion Blur, with these settings, Angle 0 - Distance 40. Duplicate this layer about 2 more times and move it so it covers the whole sig. Merge the Render Motion Blurred Layers together and duplicate it again. Put one of the layers below all the layers and the other below the render.

9. Set the bottom grunge layer to overlay, and the top motion blurred layer (render) to overlay and move it where appropiate.

10. Make a new layer above all the layers and go to Image > Apply Image > OK. Then go to Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen.

11. Set that layer to overlay and put the opacity to 50%.

Optional. Get the Magic Wand tool and set it to 70/50/10 tolerance. Go down to one of your grunge layers and click randomly while holding shift (not too much though). Make a new layer below the render and fill with a scan line pattern (white). Set the layer to overlay.

12. Do your text and add a border.

I have been doing sigs and such for a while now and by far the easiest grunge tut i have seen in a while. I love the stock photo you used in the example, would love a link to that if you still have it available.

Nice work thorough on your steps and easy to understand the basic concepts to a good tut. I hope to posting some results of my work here in the near future.

Trystim
so are you going to hook us up with a link to the stock photo (aka render) that you used in this tut example or am i gonna have to spend hours on finding it lol tongue.gif.
I hear ya on the how to use render bits, seems everyone in their brother does a tut on that and the thing is people will use them how they want that is how new styles are born.

    to get one. You can even use the outline to make an icon or whatever. The choice is yours. Keep

    This is just one way of making abstract shapes in C4D, it's a new technique which I have come
    across lately and I don't think many people know about it, so I made a tutorial for it.
