  1. Heyo it has been a while since i have written a tutorial so i figured I'd write another one :)

    This is kind of based of this tutorial: viewtopic.php?f=31&t=28214 it uses some of the same elements, but i changed quite a few parts of it and sizes and whatnot...

    Requirements:

    Paint.net

    Outline Object Plugin viewtopic.php?f=16&t=5715&start=0

    This is an example of what you can do

    IMG24664-1240876231.png

    Step 1:

    Create a Canvas of 500x150, hit CTRL+A and then delete it all so the whole canvas is transparent

    Step1.jpg

    Step 2:

    Select the "Rounded Rectangle" Tool :RoundedRectangleTool: and pick "Draw Filled Shape" :ShapeInterior:

    Step 3:

    Make a rounded rectange , with your color of choice, the one I used was #007F0E

    Step2.jpg

    Step 4:

    Use Magic Wand :MagicWandTool: and click on the rectangle

    Step3.jpg

    Step 5:

    Create a new layer

    Step4.jpg

    Step 6:

    Now select the "Rectangle Tool" :RectangleTool: and draw a white rectangle going about 1/2 way down the rounded rectangle(on the new layer) and lower the opacity to about 60-70

    Step5.jpg

    Step6.jpg

    Step 7:

    Now create another new layer

    Step4.jpg

    Step 8:

    Select the Bucket Tool:FillSelection: and where it says "Fill:" select "Dark Upward Diagonal" and fill it with your primary color being white and your secondary color being transparent.

    Step7-1.jpg

    Step 9:

    Lower the opacity of that layer to about 20-30

    Step7-2.jpg

    Step 10:

    Now make a new layer on top of the previous 2 layers and paste in your render, i used this one: http://planetrenders.net/renders/displa ... ?pos=-3826 but first i used "resize" to make the height 150, be sure to have "Maintain Aspect Ratio" set so the width will automatically change to match the height, and past the render into the rectangle

    Step8.jpg

    Step9.jpg

    OPTIONAL STEPS:

    Step 11:

    Create a new canvas, size 550x170

    Step 12

    Paste each layer individually onto the new canvas(Try to center it), I know this is time consuming but for the shadow and border to look right you have to do this, unless you dont want a border or shadow

    Step 13:

    Find a C4D(Cinema 4D) Render, i will use this one: http://planetrenders.net/renders/displa ... p?pos=-391

    Select a section of it that you want and paste it into a layer underneath the render

    Step 14:

    Select the first layer(the one with the rounded rectangle) and use the outline object plugin, set the Width to 2 px and the Softness to 127 and hit okay

    Step 15:

    On the first layer select "Glow"(Effects>Photo>Glow) and set it to Radius-6 Brightness- -100 and Contrast-10

    You're Done!!!

    Comments and Criticism please :)

    And Post your results when done
