toe_head2001 Posted September 24, 2020 Share Posted September 24, 2020 You need images that show the progress of each step in the tutorial. You only have the final image. Your tutorial also consists of mostly just running effects in an obvious way; not too original. Quote (September 25th, 2023) Sorry about any broken images in my posts. I am aware of the issue.

LoudSilence Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 Alright thanks for that @Djisves I normally don't stay on top of plugin updates, also welshblue, I agree that the trail looks better when darker, but I'm teaching a certain style how to do this Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoudSilence Posted September 25, 2020 Author Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I believe I added enough images now..? (and changed the tutorial a bit because the new shadow plugin does not have a sharpness/blur (i believe) Edited September 25, 2020 by LoudSilence Quote PDN Discord Server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
