St.Jim Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Hi - I've search the PDN forums, and haven't been able to find any tutorials consering a number plate. What I want realy, is if someone could make a tut showing how to make a number plate on a car (but... One with the 3D parts on it) Like this image here -> but in the style of a numberplate - if you need me to clarify this, just tell me Quote My DeviantArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 The Engrave/Emboss plugin might be of some use. And recolouring of that embossing. The rest is dependant on the plate you're aiming for: American - which state?; European - which country? What era?; Asian - country?; type of vehicle - some British agricultural tractors have different plates to that of regular vehicles; and so on.

pyrochild Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 Look for Ash's ring tutorial to see how to make things look shiny/chromed like that. Quote 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...
oma Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 this tut shows how to make 3d text. perhaps combining with Ash ring tut metal you can come up with something. viewtopic.php?t=5625 Quote  My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helio Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I would also take a look at barkbark00's chrome tutorial. It's written for text, but the effect can easily be achieved elsewhere.

St.Jim Posted March 18, 2008 Author Share Posted March 18, 2008 Right - i've tried Barkbark00's chrom effect, and it's great! I just need to think of a way to make a numberplate background and then i can write a small tut on how to conjer up this work of art (If i get Barkbark00's permision to relate to his tut of course!)

Ash Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Be sure to read up on the Tutorial guidelines before you do so. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
St.Jim Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 Yes, i'll be sure do do that :wink: I've seen plenty of posts locked because of that! I don't however, think that there is a point in making a tut for this, becuase it's just an alteration of BarkBark00's chrome effect, so I don't think there is a need. So... Overall, the best solution for a numberplate is BarkBark00's chrome effect, and putting a border arround the text, then motion blurring ( :MotionBlur: ) some added noise ( :AddNoise: ) on a new layer ( :AddNewLayer: ) and then cutting out the parts you dont want. Simple realy - If you want to know how ot make a number plate - then this is it Quote My DeviantArt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
