Ego Eram Reputo 2,407 Report post Posted February 7, 2011 *sigh* one image 5150pixels high. What part of Tutorial Guidelines 1a "less than 800 pixels at their largest dimension" don't you understand? <Image removed.> Now you have the option of reposting this tut with much smaller images, or I can lock it.

Ego Eram Reputo 2,407 Report post Posted February 8, 2011 Much better! Thanks for sorting out the images. Nice effect - reminds me of the Alien egg (you know the one in the promo pics with the crack & the green light spilling out?). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
