Hey! I got it to work. =D Although, I had to make the lens flares on a seperate image and transfer them over to the sig.
*blinks* Is it just me, or are the lens flares on YOUR siggy new, Ash? I didn't notice them before..

Hey all. I'm -fairly- new to PDN, but I've been browsing the Tutorials board, and have been able to pick up on quite a few neat techniques, a lot of which have been incorporated into my work.
Here in my gallery, I have a lot of images I created while following tutorials (normally, the awesome ones..), as well as a few that I created on my own. Feel free to comment. I'm also an avid userbar maker. =] Several of the icons/pics in my images come from a game called Homeworld, or other places. I even made a little animation of the annoying fairy Navi from Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64.
Tutorial Works
Destroyer Glass Orb -(fairly large)

I actually got Ash's suggestion to work, but unfortunately, I still can't get them to render on my sig.. ah well...
-
Hey, thanks. =D Good job, LFC!
I don't know what's wrong with the Lens Flares either, so I posted a question on the R&Q board.
Note: I used the 'Ellipse selection then Ellipse subtraction selection' to get the crescent effect, since the curved line method didn't work too well for me. =P
-
Yes, I used the search feature first. Didn't find anything.
I need help rendering lens flares. Yes, I have the Lens Flares plugin and the latest version of Paint.NET. I was working on a project following Expired's Helio Sig tutorial, thinking, "Man, this would look great with lens flares on it." But I tried and tried, and couldn't get them to render. At all.
This is the pic I wanted them on.
-
A good idea is to save all the images you'll use as frames in one folder or on your desktop, because you place them in the unfreeze box by dragging and dropping them into it in the desired order.
Sorry I didn't understand your previous question. -
fredsburgers- (I'm assuming you're talking to the tut author) What you have to do is create each frame individually on PDN. (ie, the picture moves a little bit in each pic you make) Then, when you have all the frames you need, use the unfreeze program he linked to to mesh them all together into an GIF animation.
Hope that helped. -
Thanks! =D I'm quite pleased with it. The pic is a Kushan Destroyer from the game Homeworld. =P My avy is from the same series. *obsessed*
-
Hey, thanks man. =] I knew it was something simple. If no one else posts after me by the time I'm done, I'll edit this post and stick my finished project in.
But, unfortunately, I can't figure out how to render Lens Flares (yes, I have the plugin for it), and I REALLY wanted to use em. ;~; Any tips?
-
Sorry if this is a stupid question, and forgive me if it's already been asked, but how do I enter the exact color value? (ie, 00BBFF from step 7) Thanks. =/
-
Phew, big project. xD Great result, though. Thanks a bunch. *moves on to Helio Sig Tut*
-
Will do, sir.
-
Ah. My apologies. Thank you.

It's a Photoshop effect that's seen in many many many images around the net. Lines of lowered opacity are made across an image diagonally to create a neat effect. I have no clue how to do this with Paint.NET. An example can be seen in this image:
-
K_I_N_G- I think the concept is awesome! =D A tip: Try to make it look like the green streams are in a constant downward motion. Otherwise, it'll look like they're jumping up and down. This can be achieved by making all the streams come in full contact with the top and bottom of the picture. Unless there was a specific reason you didn't do that. =P
Haseo- I like that one too! =D Although, the boarder shine lines are a little glaring. Try putting a white rectangle outline on top of the picture (on a seperate layer), selecting half of the picture (corner to corner, not vertically) with the lasso, then using the gradient tool to make the shine lines less pronounced. It's in the Glossy Button tut.
-
=D That tutorial by Europe got me the exact effect I needed. But what was the Polar Transformation plugin and the primary/secondary colors tip about? I didn't understand either of them. >_> /n00b
-
I am trying to replicate an awesome effect I saw on a photoshop tutorial, but I have been unsuccessful at even the first step. Making random gradients. >_> When I use gradients with Paint.NET, it only lets me make one gradient, and it affects the entire layer...
This is the tutorial of which I speak- http://1252429.deviantart.com/art/fire-orb-tutorial-38952004
-
Question: This is a rather n00bish question, but how do I initialize the align object effect? >_> Is it a plugin? Because I can't find it, and I've needed it several times now.

XD Hey, thanks much, Sir iKid the Fantastic. I'll be using that technique to its full ability now.

Oh. XD That's how he did it. Awesome.
I have another question, Sir Jake of Awesome. If you look at my avatar, you'll notice that there are tiny white corners outside each rounded corner of the square. How do I go about making those invisible? I want to use the same technique to modify a signature I made similar to jester's. See how the FireFox logo extends past the top and bottom edges of the box it's above? How did he do that without having big white borders outside the box?

Jester- That's my problem. I can't find a way to save just the logo as a file. I went to google for a relicnews logo pic, and they all have backgrounds. I have no way to save just the 'r' and the text.
Comagoosie- I noticed that too. :? I pressed Shift or Ctl while using the lasso to draw that straight of a line, but neither worked. =p
EDIT: *w00t*! =D I asked a guy on another site (RelicNews, the one I found out about Paint.NET on), and he said use the Magic Wand tool. =D It worked wonders. Now I got an awesome avatar.

Hey, sorry for my absence.. a LOT of stuff has come up over the past month and I've been a little too tied up to do much on PDN.
Thanks for the comments, though. =] The font is called 'Visitor', and is used a lot in userbars and other customization pieces like avatars and the like.

^ That's the link to the font package with Visitor. I first found the font on an awesome PC Game forum called 'RelicNews', and the link is to the attachment download for the font.
