Mayor_McSteeze Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) Ok, im to lazy to add pictures but i did this with my most recent Stormtrooper sig. Take your black and white stock and duplicate it twice. First duplicate go to gradient mapping and right-click the red slider to change it to a purple and lower the opacity to around 75. Repeat the Gradient mapping on the 2nd duplicate and set the color to orange with and opacity around 65. Set the top bledning mode to Additive, this will produce a orangish tint effect that looks very clean. Hope this helps! (Please post if this works for you!)

Stone85 Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Quick question, which gradiant is this? As in Hot, High Contrast, Rainbow, etc. Sorry, I'm a g-map n00b. Love the Stormtrooper sig! My Gallery | My Sig Tutorial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pyrochild Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 He's saying you need to make your own gradient in Gradient Mapping. You can add/remove/change colors as you please. ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
