Ash

Your search-fu is in need of some training. Here

You can try my easy 3d metal/chrome tut, the same method was used for my sig.

Actually, it is missing some shadows, but not where you think. Since the light is coming from lower right. Ask me via PM or something if you still free like fixing it, Goon.

After looking at it closer again, I see a dark border on the top part of the image. Can you see it?

You are quite welcome. Haven't seen much art from you lately? Hope all is well. Glad to see you around and thanks for dropping by.

Press F1 while using Paint.NET will teach you the basics.

You are quite welcome.

Near the end of the animation, some of the background also changed, did you meant to do that? I used to have a black cat like that. , I like it.

Sorry I`m not with you. If I don`t use stock or make it on my own how do I make it?Those are surely the only two options? :?: Unless you mean use planet brushes? I mean this point.

Results will not be the same if you use stock or make it on your own. On so many levels.

Glad it somehow worked for you.

When you click the small image in dA, it should open up a larger one. But if it somehow doesn't work, click on the download button on the left side and download the full view image.

Wow, you sure mix them up nicely.

So you think, you telling me what to do is helping and I tell you why I use my methods and not yours is flaming? When you didn't even bother to try my tut first, try to see why I use that method? And you come in telling me your method? What if I go to your gallery only looking at the thumbnails and start telling you why this and that don't work? How rude would that be? Nobody is flaming you, but in many of your posts, you say: it must be like this, like that, distorts will always make it blurry, the shine can not be like that, etc etc. Doesn't that sound like you are trying to say your ideas are better? more correct? ALWAYS right... and what not? And when I try to reason with you why I use this and that method, why some tools won't work as well, you mostly just don't want to believe me? If reason doesn't work, what's the point in talking and typing so many words? See? you turned another of my thread into a off topic typing fest. Like I keep telling you, if you wanna help others, and believe your method is good, and nobody had thought about it, post a tutorial. that's the best way to help. PS. I even have to do extra work to make the image above with all the wavy lines just to show you it won't ALWAYS blur, why do I even bother? (As in, explaining to people who refuse to listen and making tuts at all.)

Ok, so in your image, you are showing me that MOL is smoother for tapered lines (which proved my point, thank you very much..), and that you think you can do tapered blocks (or just blocks) with line tool better, and you refuse to believe that distorts can adjust the THIN tapered lines into any shape without blurring them, have you thought of maybe you haven't tried the correct setting and the correct combo of different distorts?? Using line tool method, you can't even get a nice AA thin tapered line, how can you get a nice AA wavy thin tapered line with the line tools? And the key word is fast, easy and sharp too(spiky sharp), and the tut title is tapered lines, not blocks. BTW, MOL method can do blocks too, but I don't see many ask for how to do blocks. If you think you have a better method, then stick with your method, no need to use mine and no need to try to prove yours is better. If you really feel you must share your method, you can make your own tut, and tell the world how good it is to use it all you want. Don't make me type so much again, says the lazy Ash. Edit: And you know how much trouble and steps to fill the color in the cap of a thin tapered line near the sharp end? when using the line tool method? Edit2: Looks ok to me with all the distorts...I don't see blurry.

So, the green check mark means you like it better? So what is MOV? The larger lines, those distorts looks better than the line tool, better AA.

Read the forum rules first. Show off your work here viewforum.php?f=26 And each user is allowed only 1 personal gallery in there.

Blooper: No. And no. Try to make it super thin and super sharp tapered line, and see how the line tool's AA work out. I wanna show users that there are many ways of using a plugins. Thought provoking, think outside the box, or whatever people call it. And if you like inside the box, good for you. Just keep using the methods that works for you. And if you have comments about the tut, don't spam my gallery, post in the tut thread. See? yellowman knows not to spam here. And his method is pretty cool, mind opening.

Hi, Alice from wonderland. You should check out the effects in photo sub menu, I don't remember which plugin packs are some of the effects from, so just download as many as you can, and check out the photo sub menu.

Did you even try the tut and see the result? Or did you just look at the tut and go: Let me offer a method that Ash must not have thought about or tried. Sure you can do it with the line tool, but can you get it super easy? super sharp point? super smooth(AA)? super fast? and think outside the box? I even have another method(not using 2 lines) of using the line tool to do tapered lines, but still got beat by mirror over line method. If you have a better method, please do make a tut and show everyone. Too blurry? A little blurry maybe.
