  1. Cool effect. Works really well.

    Try it with Hieroglyphs as well etc.

    On the tut instructions btw, someone -mod or author - edit it so that Median Blur is under Noise not Blurs menu. Noticed that changed in the latest update :)

    EDIT: Sunshine, how'd you do the extra ring with the dividing segments? It's given me an idea.

    2nd EDIT: Never mind, my idea was the same as yours ;x And I chucked in 12 arcs and used them as dividers :D

    Oh, thank you. I completely forgot that I haven't changed it. Thanx ^^

  2. For this one I didn't follow the tut exactly, but--

    Very cool tut, I'm really glad I downloaded the plugin :-)

    Whoah! Very cool ^^ I love the colours you used!

    Woah!

    Much better than I could do :oops:

    Anways, I sorta messed up, because I forgot to get the Zoom plug-in and had to start over :(

    I really like this effect, it's like the whole circle is in motion! Like it's a very intense battle!!

  3. Nice tut! I didn't actually follow it, but I did get the inspiration from it, so here is mine:

    Very cool ^^ I love how the different shapes join together in a cohesive structure! Good job :D

    looks like some kind of sacrificial ceremony thing. :P

    those don't but this does Darkshock91

    but this cool concept

    Man, this is insanely wicked!! *The puns! Oh, the puns!!!*

    I reworked it! :D Sadly, I forgot to "glow" some of the earlier frames, and I missed a frame somewhere around the 40's. Other than that I like it. Wouldn't have been possible without your tut. Nice work.

    Wow! Amazing!!!

  4. Amazing result. :D

    I tried it, then, using our good friend UnFREEZ, animated it... poorly. Thus activating the magic locked within.

    It needs some work, but that's my rough draft of an "activated" magic circle. ... Well, the zoom-blur induced glow would've worked too... whatever. I'll stop rambling now.

    O3O

    This is so flippin' awesome!!! I gotta try it!!

  5. I like the last few steps. :)

    Thank you ^^

    I got that idea from an awesome tut in this forum, I don't remember what was it called though :oops:.

    this is mine :mrgreen:

    i had to change the glow on the top layer coz when i did it before it went really dark :shock:

    Wow, this is awesome! Good job ^^

    Here's my try: You can see that my Glow paramaters changed the outside of the circle.

    Cool glow :D It's like the magic is at the climax of power! Nyahahaha...

    Sorry 'bout that XD

    My first Tutorial, please be gentle ^^
    First of all, You might wanna have BoltBait Polygon/Stars and Zoom Blur Deluxe plug-ins installed. And also some runic/magical symbols fonts as well, you can find them by just googling "Runic Symbols font". Here's one of the fonts I used (The only one I remember where I got it from :P)

    Anyway, let's get started!

    1.png
    1. It's easier to position the circle if the canvas is a square.
    2.png
    2. Use the bucket to fill the background black.
    3. Add new Layer
    4. Using the circle-drawing tool, Hold the Shift button and drag the mouse to make a perfect circle.
    Alternative 4. Go to "Effects">"Render">"Polygon/Stars...", Max out the vertices. then use radial blur to make it smoother.
    3.png
    5. Add new layer.
    6. Go to "Effects">"Render">"Polygon/Stars...", Don't be concerned with perfectly fitting the polygon/star to the circle right now. Just make sure it's the right size for now, and choose the shape that looks best.
    4.png
    7. Add a new Layer (You don't have to add new ones if you don't want to, I just find it easier to work with.)
    8. Create two perfect circles, one inside the other using shift + drag, to create a crescent moon.
    5.png
    9. I played aroun with the star depth and verticies until I got something close to a sun.
    10. Circle-select the "sun" and use the "move selected pixels" tool to drag it to the other side opposite the moon. Rotate it using the right-click mouse drag to rotate and align it to the pattern of the overall circle.

    11. Add new layer
    12. Write anything using the runic/magic symbols font, Here I wrote "Solara"
    13. Rectangle-select the text, drag, and rotate.
    14. That's pretty much the basic patterns, just experiment with different symbols, shapes, stars, and circles.

    15. After step 14, you might get something like this.
    8.png
    16. Add some glow to each layer. To make it more fun, try playing around with the glow parameters differently for each layer.
    17. Use the "Merge Layer down" button on the history window to flatten all layers except for the black background.
    9.jpg
    18. Go to Layer>Rotate/Zoom, use the globe or the "twist radius" button-thingy to put the circle at an angle; like it's on the ground.
    19. Duplicate layer
    10.jpg
    20. Go to Effects>noise>Median Blur, and slide on these numbers. (on the bottom layer only!)
    11.jpg
    21. Go to Adjustments> Levels and slide the middle output cursor all the way down.
    12.jpg
    22. Go to Effects>Blur>Zoom Blur Deluxe and give'em one of those ^
    hmmm, still something missing...
    AHA!
    13.jpg
    23. Hehe, I almost forgot. Use glow on the top layer thusly.
    24. That's it! You should have this \/ as your finished product ^^

    Hope you enjoyed it 😄
