  1. Yes, i'll be sure do do that :wink: I've seen plenty of posts locked because of that!

    I don't however, think that there is a point in making a tut for this, becuase it's just an alteration of BarkBark00's chrome effect, so I don't think there is a need.

    So...

    Overall, the best solution for a numberplate is BarkBark00's chrome effect, and putting a border arround the text, then motion blurring ( :MotionBlur: ) some added noise ( :AddNoise: ) on a new layer ( :AddNewLayer: ) and then cutting out the parts you dont want. Simple realy - If you want to know how ot make a number plate - then this is it :mrgreen:

  2. Thanks! This is a great effect - I imagine that you could do this on other objects - like, I don't know, a background?

    I'll try that I think :wink:

    edit - using the same effect (but with a square filled completely grey) If you follow the same steps untill the end, you will get a grey box in hte middle with crome border, magic wand ( :MagicWandTool: ) the grey inside, and it leaves you with a chrome effect border - which could be used to put arround a edited photo to look like a photoframe.

  3. I have found a solution - well, it may not be what your after ...

    #1 Fill your background

    #2 Make a new layer ( :AddNewLayer: ) Name it Verticle

    #3 Make annother new layer ( :AddNewLayer: ) Name it Horizontal

    #4 Make your main colour whatever colour you want the spacing (lines) inbetween the dots to be and completely transparent as secondary

    #5 Do a fill ( :FillSelection: ) with the 'Light Verticle' on the layer Verticle

    #6 Do a fill ( :FillSelection: ) with the 'Light Horizontal' on the Horizontal layer

    Done!

    Extra - you can blur ( :GaussianBlur: )the squares to make it look like your image

  4. This is the best effect for PDN that i have seen - honest!

    Heres my attempt - all I did extra was make a new back layer, gradient ( :LinearGradient: ) added noise ( :AddNoise: ) at 75, 0. Then motion blured ( :MotionBlur: ) at 0, 200. Then i used the same chrome effect curves as BarkBark00, and added a water reflection.

  5. Right - i've tried Barkbark00's chrom effect, and it's great! I just need to think of a way to make a numberplate background and then i can write a small tut on how to conjer up this work of art (If i get Barkbark00's permision to relate to his tut of course!) :)

  6. Hi - I've search the PDN forums, and haven't been able to find any tutorials consering a number plate. What I want realy, is if someone could make a tut showing how to make a number plate on a car (but... One with the 3D parts on it)

    Like this image here -> jmail01.jpg

    but in the style of a numberplate - if you need me to clarify this, just tell me ;)
