use Feather on the basketball players, but other than that I think it looks great

*shudder*

Stephan I like his color choices.

I agree, I think the catagories should be based on how many steps they have. As a general rule, shorter tutorials are easier. Most of the time, but Not always True, but sorting them by length seems less arbitrary than trying to decide if a tutorial is hard or not, since some steps that one person has trouble with, another may not have trouble with.

Could you fix the link? We can't see the picture. :?

:shock: Oma, that is amazing, do you have a tablet? I especially like the bowl.

We don't go insane, we need them to feed our fragile egos. :wink: But seriously, Happy to help.

:shock: Wow! I'm curious, how did you do that, besides not blurring so much? Edit Blooper101 I like it , try turning it so we can see it better.

Very Nice! I like the bottom one.

I like it!

thanks for the tutorial, it helped a lot! As you can see I'm still learning how to use Shape 3D. Not very good, but getting there:

It looks cool, but it seems a bit dark for an explosion, but nice effect non the less. I am glad to see people are using and adapting my tutorial.

first you need to upload your images to an image hosting site like Photobucket http://photobucket.com/ or Imageshack http://www.imageshack.us/ then paste the forum link it in the forum, or put tags around the link to your image. Hope that helped.

When using high resolution, the explosion doesn't look as good as it does on a resolution such as 800x600 Could you please post a link to your image? I'm sure I can figure out how to adapt it for hi res.

Welcome to the forum, Geoff! What specificially does not work for high resolution graphics?

when you did curves you had the green line to close to the red line. Other than the yellow it looks good.

Yay! somebody posted an image! (Which looks absolutely amazing btw :shock: ) I got the inspiration from this (the top image) and the super nova that I did on that. I don't know if that answers your question or not.

Yay! another Blur plugin! Can't Wait to play around with it!

I'll gladly forth it!
