  1. Hey Helen and thanks! The car models are prebuilt but are fully skinnable as are all the graphics in the game called "Live For Speed". I've changed nearly everything from the cars to the menus to the drivers themselves and created all the textures and logos mostly from scratch. I will upload a few examples to show the differences later on when I have more free time.

    The cursors I made are indeed for Windows. They come in ".cur" format which is the windows cursor extension and the clock is an ".ani" or animated cursor. I made a zip file package containing everything including the PDN file that I used as the template which I can send if you'd like. It's not too hard to create although if you do it from scratch, you'll have to know where the cursor you're creating is positioned in relation to the action it's used for.

    I've always had a thing for customizing icons, cursors, user interfaces, wallpapers, themes, and other stuff. It's an addiction I can't kick. lol

  2. Special thanks to EER for all the help and support! :D You rock dude!

    I haven't had much time to create stuff lately due to work however I do usually make time for game design, especially with Paint.net and DDS files.

  3. Both NinjaManDan & Xzerizon have great entries. Dan's is one of the most detailed sig's I've ever seen! I had to go with Xzeri's as the futuristic metallic look plus the 3-dimensional letters adding depth to the sig really won me over! Great job you two! :D

    Xzerizon is the winner of this round of Sig Battles! :D


    To start off the next round, I would like to toss this into the battle and wish good luck to the challenger! :D (edit: minor revision)

  4. It really depends on the angle and the time of day as clouds are hard to do in some cases like sunsets or sunrises when there are multiple hues. (It's a result of light having to travel a greater distance through our atmosphere and hitting it on it's side)

    If you want to do clouds in the daytime, it's much easier as it's shades of gray to white. Think of it as a white blob accented by darker grey areas which would be the shaded parts of the cloud giving it a 3 dimensional look. Also clouds don't have bulges in uniformity, the bottom of of a cloud is often more flat than the upper portions when viewed from the side. If you view the cloud from the bottom, you see it more as a large slightly greyish blob accented by white parts that face the sun.

    I just use the distortion filters with a normal brush to splatter on color and gausian blur it very slightly. To finish it off, I'll smudge it a bit with pressure set to 7 as too much pressure will leave streaks. Once it looks a bit like scrambled eggs but white in color, that's pretty much it! Hope it helps!

  5. Nice tutorial Copy Cat Master! Definitely takes effort to create them and shows you're the helpful type. Right on! :D

    Good luck to the challenger! chearleader.gif lol is that not the cutest emote or what xD

    edit - due to wrong dimension posted, derp

  7. heh heh nah Skull no worries mate! I edited mine a few times and it still was too bright that it actually hurt my eyes. I was sort of 50/50 on whether I should even enter it as it had strayed from my original concept. :D

    This is a tough call indeed, both have great elements I like, metal textures, reflective surfaces, and shadows. The nicely defined line on Sashas that highlight the upper-left portions of the text is one of my favs that I use quite often! Red Ochre's use of reflection along with earth-toned colors really brought out the depth in that image. For that I had to choose Red's but this was a very tough choice by the slimmest of margins as both are really great pieces! Excellent job you two! :D

  8. Yeah even i was like omg its a bit bright and edited it however to spare everyone from going blind i must withdraw my entry and declare sasha the winner. Lol and ill message you some tips and stuff when im back on my computer as im on my android atm. the show must go on so the next battlers are up! Good luck to all and great work btw sasha! Lol

  9. Hello people,

     

    I've been trying to find transparent PNG Templates

    but i failed to find a good source

    if i googlesearch i get sitetemplates and that is not what i'm looking for

    No worries, you've got the right source (google) just not the right search criteria.... do a google search for "Face Accessories, Manycam" then click "images". You'll find exactly what you're looking for and more. :D

  10. NinjaMan's and Daniel's both look great and definitely took some time to create. I had to go with Ninjaman's just for the depth and realism aspects as it really does give a sort of gloomy and isolated feeling which totally matched the theme of that sig. Great job you guys! :D

    NMD - 3

    Daniel -1

    NinjaMan wins this round of the Siggy battle competition, Congrats! :Dtoast.gif

    ...and now I shall chuck this into the battle just because I am a huge fan of the matrix effect and Dan seems to be as well! lol So I challenge with this... ummmmmm... matrix looking... thingy.... lol sorry it was thrown together to match my avatar tbh. :$

    note: edited to tone down the brightness to avoid killing anyones eyes like it did mine....

    Entry forfeited ... Still too bright. Sasha wins by default! Congrats lol

  11. This sounds similar to an issue I had before when I was customizing my themes. Did you by any chance change / modify your windows menu color settings in Display Properties? If yes, by setting it back to the color it was or to the default setting, it fixes the problem. Hopefully it helps!

  12. Is there a list or examples of the actions in Paint.net similar to the composite effects list / effects examples that were given such as "gaussian blur", "emboss", "add noise", etc. ?

    In particular things like "cut selection", "copy selection", "delete selection", and "paste selection" is what I'm trying to find or is that something completely different? I know that copying and such are actions and emboss and whatnot are effects but I can't find any examples which explains how to use actions, or maybe I just missed / overlooked them.
