HELEN Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Everything about it is cool. It just seems some parts of it are jaggy (on the inside), but it could be because it's because it was resized. Unless, of course, you meant it to be like that. Great composition, by the way and the light effects are stunning.

minners71 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Good work although a little jaggy try using aa assistant or feather plug in. Also for me its a little too large try 370 x 120 I find its a really nice size for sigs. Another tip I'm sure its been mentioned before work at twice the size than scale it down, so for the dimensions I mentioned before open your canvas at 740 x 240 and once you are finished reduce by 50% this will help to make it sharper.

TheHowler Posted September 16, 2011 Author Share Posted September 16, 2011 Thanks guys, glad you like it. I did try aa assistant and feather, but neither helped the jaggies for some reason. I will try 370 x 120 Minners, but I can't work at double size for some reason, it drives me crazy. Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery.......

NinjaManDan21 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 Haha, nice work Howler. And yeah working at double size is annoying to me as well.

minners71 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) It may be annoying but it does make your final image so much sharper, can't see why aa or feather wouldn't of smoothed it out though. Sometimes use a combination of both feather at 2-3 px then run AA at default settings and if need be run feather and AA again. Did you run AA on the final image if so that might be your problem you need to run it on the individual layers as you add them, so paste in your render, position it then run AA or feather.

NinjaManDan21 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I know AA is an option with some effects and tools, but where is there an AA plug-in etc. to "run"?

minners71 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 (edited) Posting this from my ps3 so a bit awkward to add links but use the search engine and search for aa assistant or plug in index using it will improve your work 100% Now posting from PC dpy's pack BoltBaits pack DPY's pack includes Aa assistant and BoltBaits includes feather, once installed both effects can be found under Effects > Object Heres a little example of what it does. You want to make a killzone sig and find this image. Using the magic wand you remove the white giving you this which looks good. You then add a new layer under the image and fill it with a blue to black gradient and notice his legs andgun have random white pixels showing . So you select your render layer and run AA assistant do get this. Click on images with mouse wheel to open in new tabs. Here is a link to the plug in index.

TheHowler Posted September 17, 2011 Author Share Posted September 17, 2011 I used aa on the individual layers, but it didn't do much. I will try the feather/aa combo in future. Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheHowler Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 My echo sig, personally I prefer it without the speakers, but what does everyone else think? Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnicka Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 I love it! Especially the one without the speakers, they look like they don't belong. How'd you get that effect on the render(?), where it's solid in some parts and lines in others? Or is that how it came?

TheHowler Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 The original renders was like dashes, but when I turned it blue it turned to lines for some reason. Then I just magic wanded and filled some parts, not sure how to do it on a normal image though. Quote My Brick Wall Tutorial....|....My Gallery.......
