Err... Step 2?

As well, if I think you are trying to achieve the effect of black on a background color then I am afraid that it has already been done.

[Dark End]

Oh god I'm so embarrassed. Honestly I didn't mean to press submit.

It has already been done? Really?

My apologizes, I couldn't find one anywhere.... I guess this was a failure.

[Mike Ryan]

Keep writing, then let it get locked. This seems better written then the previous and I would rather see this archived for searching then the other :wink:

[Dark End]

Thanks Mike Ryan! I'm done. Hope you like it and that I didn't cause to much problems...

[Dalton]

I didn't know there was another tut on how to do this... hmm... Thanks anyway.

2.1) Make a new layer on the top and fill it with black.

2.2) Go back to your render layer and Magic Wand the outside area. Go to the black layer and hit delete.

Alternatively you could simply use the silhouette plugin.

Looks great, and has a hilarious ending. As well it is very well written. I request this tutorial is not locked.

Agreed, I will edit it.

I'll either lock one or the other...

[Mike Ryan]

Ha! David locked the other one.

Well written tutorial, but I have some suggestions if you don't mind.

1. Altair shouldn't be 100% black. If you look closely at iPod commercials, you can always still see the outline of the features of the subject. This would make him look much more like what he is, an Assassin, with all of his equipment, rather than a plain silhouette.

2. Try to make the green background interesting. Normally the commercials don't just use a plain color, they have some sort of effect running in the background at low Opacity. Adding a horizontal line with gradienst or something like that will make it look less 2D, and keeping it at a very low Opacity will make it appear as part of the background.

Just something you might want to think about. You're the author here, so you can do what you want.

EDIT: Here's my take on it, using what I talked about (If you tilt your screen, or stand up and look down on it, you can see Altair a lot better)

Ya, I know that the iPod ads have some detail to them I just didn't mind much of it. Still, I will add an "Additional Steps" when I have the chance.

Edit: Done!

Was that what you were talking about?

[007 Nab]

Yes! Much better! I think it looks much like the real deal now -- good job!

they have some sort of effect running in the background at low Opacity.

I always find an invisible gradient works well.

It could do with anti-aliasing IMHO.

[LoZo]

gave it a shot

Invisible? That makes for an extremely detailed yet absolutely uniform background

[Simon Brown]

I don't mean literally invisible.

I really liked this tutorial. Here is my try at it:

[asedwards1]
