Pop-out Sig - new technique

snlildude87
I made a pop-out sig today. It's nothing special, and it probably isn't good, but I just wanted to see that I could do it. By the way, do you know how hard it is to make one of these? I mean, the blending and everything. You have to make sure everything is in the correct order or else it'll look screwed up.

yeah i had a hard time figuring how to set it up at first but its easy just use the marque tool and highlight the area of the sig then change the size as long as you hae the marquee tool highlighting the area you be fine.

but now for the good part

render looks good with the pop up but you did a bad job in blending in the render with the background the little part of the hair is still sticking out and not making it look good, text is just a little pixelated but good move to put it on top of the sword. i would have used some more color in the brushing to make it more stylish.

getting better though

9/10

Are you kidding?! I think it's bordering on simple. It's hard to explain. You have to wrap the polygonal lasso tool WAY around the sword (or the stuff you don't want blended) so that it'll blend in like that without killing off everything else. That's the blending part. The rest is just brushing and coloring. smile.gif

Looks good. The bg is nothing TOO special, and the text, while inventive, is kinda odd, and the minor hair blending thing, but you did a nice job, especially for your first popout. Nice job buddy.

BTW -- If you flipped that sideways, it'd be much taller than my spawn sig. And everybody knows vertical scrolling's cooler than horizontal. tongue.gif

i think the question was referring ot the whole thing, no it not borderline simple it is simple to blend in the render of course to blend it the right way that the hard part, but i did notice one thing though the hilt was it cut off at the top or was it complete? if so just make the render just a bit smaller to fit the whole thing in.

mommy snlil yelled at me again XP but what johnny said when you blend you want pic the area of the render to start and when you do the lasso toll highlight big open spaced area as well then the hair will just disappear. and if all else fails just brushing it will black and overlay.

So you want ALL of the hair to disappear? Or do you want to show the hair?

YOU were the one that freaking asked! Jerk.

Yeah, blend in the hair a bit better. It should meld with the sig, rather than "fade" like that. Try brushing over it.
