[SOTW Discussion] Talk inside...

[barbieq25]

Midora, that is impressive. I like the way you coloured it red too. Well done!

[jim100361]

I like the balloon one. Very cool.

[minners71]

Nice sigs midora very well done.

@ nitenurse and barbie, your entries are so beautiful, you gals have raised the level, this will be a hard comp.

@ midora, two awesome animations, I love them both equally, and like more your creativity.

Another take on the PDNAnimator, thinking of animating waterfall photo and fire with same idea, but they are all on hold till the final release of your awesome plugin, to get the GIF files.

This is a quick try on the meteor, I like the result, and the plugin makes the work much easier by saving the PDN and view it right away in the plugin, then make the corrections:

Click for bigger size'

Layers are %100 PDN

How can I attatch the ZIP file of PDN file here?

EDIT2: As the SOTW thread is closed, I would like to thank here everyone for the kind words, and congrats winners, of course everybody here is a winner to me.

@ doughty, thanks so much, it is really so simple for a tutorial, but I don't mind at all to write a tute. lets keep it till midora's plugin official release.

It's not closed yellowman, I just moved it to the archive to keep the comp thread tidy

[nitenurse79]

Once you move a thread to the archives section only admin/mods and competition hosts can post in it. As I found out last week ...

Aah ok, thanks for the info

[midora]

... but you've still got to work with what nature gave you

580 frames in the balloon one. Yikes

But just 3 layers. So the tool did the job.

Slow animations need a lot of steps and you have to create 24 fps or it starts to jump...

[midora]

Midora, that is impressive. I like the way you coloured it red too. Well done!

Happy about the positive feedback from all of you.

I guess you know this type of coloring is easy. Convert the image to geayscale and use the curves adjustment to set the blue and green channel to zero.

@ doughty, thanks so much, it is really so simple for a tutorial, but I don't mind at all to write a tute. lets keep it till midora's plugin official release.

It is simple if you know how to do it ;-) Still there is more than just using a plugin. I.e. to use dark stripes above and below of the text to increase the 3D effect. To have an idea about the final composition and what you like to express helps to reach a good result.

Maybe a subforum dedicated to animations would be an idea. But this is a moderator thingy,

[midora]

Now it starts to be too red in this thread. I have to change the sig if there is time and an idea...

Feel free to start a thread devoted to animations in the Grand Theory of Everything. If there is enough traffic it might warrant it's own subforum.

It must be a hard comp, so far only 2 entries.

[barbieq25]

Yes, come on guys & girls! We do need more entries.

Well ladies, for my part it's not an issue of not wanting to. Things have been extremely busy lately at work, so w/the exception of a few periodic replies to threads here and there via my phone during break @ work, I haven't had much of an opportunity to do much w/PDN. With a 3-day weekend before me, maybe I can do something, but am uncertain right now.

[AhmedElyamani]

would someone please tell me what a grunge is ?

[nitenurse79]

would someone please tell me what a grunge is ?

To quote dug here, who chose the topic " Grunge background, grunge fonts.It all comes from music, but now it is it's own style" Google will help you out Ahmed

[Ego Eram Reputo]

Grunge: Dishevelled, perhaps dirty, somewhat chaotic, counter-culture inspired. Generally strong elements and contrasting colors applied with apparent force.

[nitenurse79]

SOTW#63 5 senses - has been moved to the archive, any additional congrats can be added here if you so wish to

[Ego Eram Reputo]

LMAO

[nitenurse79]

Now that's what I call a grungy sig yellowman

[barbieq25]

@ YM

I want to have your rusty babies

I agree with EER & NiteNurse!

[nitenurse79]

Have got some great entries in the SOTW#64 - Grunge comp so far. Nice to see doughty back in a comp again too this theme is showing how grungy we can be. Really pleased with the amount of members getting involved and showing just how creative we are on here

[yellowman]

Sorry for the delay, this is the method that I used to make my grungy sig:

Font name is Valken

And this is the PDF file of the tutorial:

3d-Grungy Text

And you are making this:

Font Name is Pilsen Plakat

And for a Stone texture you can use this quick

tutorial to create one:

[nitenurse79]

Thanks for creating a tute for this yellowman this will be atempted.

[barbieq25]

Thanks so much Yellowman! You are a star. Saved for later.
