cazaron Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Well, some people that ive heard say to me that theyd rather not filter through tutorials threads and legacy tutorials to find some decent tutorials, so i thought of this idea. what's your favourite tutorial in tutorials+ (and legacy tutorials)? hard, easy, look good watever, just your favourites, post away!

HELEN Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I can't remember the last time I tried a tutorial, but the most recent one I looked over was probably Oma's and I found ithat it would probably be easy for a newbie to follow. Another one that I remember was "Cutting Out Images the Easy Way" because the words were right with the images, which made it interesting to read and easy to follow.

Goonfella Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 Most of the tuts I do nowadays are PS ones but I think my fave PDN one`s have to be the spacescape ones by Wither and Frozen_byte. They were the first spacescapes I did with PDN. Another good one is Kiosk Orbs for learning the Alpha Mask plug in.

david.atwell Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Might as well ignore Legacy. They're only there because they aren't the kind of tuts people would want on the main tuts+ listing. The worthwhile ones have already been moved. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it.

A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cazaron Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 well, david, some of my favourites are not necessarily the most popular. most of my favourites are in legacy tutorials.

oma Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 well I'm not sure its my favourite but its one I did ages ago when I first started out and realized hey this program could be something I really could go places with. its the tut that made me feel artistic for the first time. this is the legacy tut by Madjik viewtopic.php?f=15&t=3138 he was one of my very early mentors in this program and I must say his work has always inspired me. his plugins are super! and here is image I made based on that tut http://omagrandmother.deviantart.com/art/icebirds-59271146 full version on my DA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 That's why you request that they be moved in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=26923&start=60 . Legacy tutorials will probably be gone in the future. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies.

oma Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 its in the PDF file that Simon made. or so I thought. I know Madjik gave him permission. can not put my finger on that post but give me a sec. Edit sorry it was Simon's e book proposal viewtopic.php?f=12&t=29091&hilit=e+book did this project not go ahead?

HELEN Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 @David: I have to say that when I first started I tried most of the Legacy Tutorials and found them most helpful: so if they'll be removed, newbies might get confusededer (is that a word?) .

david.atwell Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Any that haven't been moved over? Then request that they be moved over! :-P The point of locking and sending tutorials to the Legacy forum is that they are either not teaching anything of consequence (that is, they give a result that does not help the user to advance in their skills) or that they perform something in a difficult way when a better way is available. Either way, we're not doing anyone any favors by steering them toward tutorials like that. :-P I've tried to move useful and high-teaching-value tutorials to the new forum. If I've missed any, that's what the link I posted in my last post is for. Quote The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior...

HELEN Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 *slaps her forehead and sighs* It's like a play on words. But yes, you have a very good idea.

cazaron Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 david, wasnt tutorials+ made to reduce clutter in the tutorials section? and also to make things easier to find, as theyre under categories? well, there was thousands of tutorials in legacy, and a large handful were good, but if we request all of them to be moved, wont that create unnecessary clutter in tutorials+? so, we should keep legacy in this discussion, because there are some good ones out there.

david.atwell Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 Cazaron, that completely defeats the purpose of dividing it into subfora if people still have to go into Legacy to get their tutorials.
