Mike Ryan Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark End Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Ryan Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Brown Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Nab Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 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) 007 Nab "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

Dark End Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
007 Nab Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Yes! Much better! I think it looks much like the real deal now -- good job! "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

Simon Brown Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 they have some sort of effect running in the background at low Opacity. I always find an invisible gradient works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blooper Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 they have some sort of effect running in the background at low Opacity. I always find an invisible gradient works well. Invisible? That makes for an extremely detailed yet absolutely uniform background http://synthastic.deviantart.com http://soundcloud.com/siderealenterprise Lockerz invites are available, PM me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
