hehe it's really 8 hours and 59 minutes, but 9 hours sounds more ominous, >.< I tried the one render thing to cover the whole sig, but the problem is when i resize the render, the picture always come out reallly crappy (without the chain link) but when i put on the chain link, the picture i want comes out nice, BUT the size i wanted is disregarded so i can't really put one render, unless of course it's ok to put the render with the chain link without some of the visible details on it, cuz it'll be cut for sure, I try to make sigs only about 100X300 i don't like 100X 500 i think their too big.


then choose a different render :P

and thanks Neil, your the original helper :) I thought I'd make some new tuts with different stuff



SufferMe -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/18/2005 16:07:09)

hey vader what do you think of this new sig using a mixture of gimp and psp7?

oh and thanx vader i dont know about that i would have got helpful if i was that good at helping but you certainly deserve it



Vader -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/18/2005 18:30:54)

thanks Neil, I'm not really in it it for the helpful, but it would be nice ;)

Ippo: Its awesome, the venom side is great, but the spiderman seem a little bit too blurred, and text could use improvement, but overall good stuff



Neil the 2nd -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/19/2005 10:09:16)

erm vader you know how me and daykeem have our gimp question/tut thread well were making an invisionfree forum dedicated to helping along gimpers and if its ok with her i was wondering if you would like to help



spornax20 -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/19/2005 10:36:42)

[image]http://img385.imageshack.us/img385/8084/auronbato3xz.gif[/image] well i tired what you said, and this isn't a sig, it's just an example. Sorry if it's kinda crappy, i'm still playing around with the colors and effects. Hey vader is there by any chance you know nickytan? oh and what happened to the original colors for this? cuz when i saved it, it just turned out plain crappy. And I noticed that you said that you save it as a .png, but what's with the kb limit?



Neil the 2nd -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/19/2005 10:39:51)

Nickytan he was one of my good friends why



spornax20 -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/19/2005 10:42:02)

we both have the same clan, hehehe so any advice on the picture i made? i know it's crappy. he should be the opne making sigs for the clan but i don't know what happened to him, he just stopped posting in the proboards i recokn he's busy.



Vader -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/19/2005 18:43:38)

I know Nickytan, but not very well, I do know that Nicky is a girl though :P
And the Auron thing, good job on the bg, but the hand is blended too much, to make it a sig, just crop it, you could also downsize the render.
btw kb limit is 50 for sigs



wu218 -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/19/2005 22:36:20)

spornax20 -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/20/2005 10:29:42)

hey vader, i tired others, here's one adn here's another one, and here's the other one. hey vader how do you make a personalized text brush? like the one that comes with GIMP, it says "the gimp" it's already there, i want to know how to make one just with my name on it.



wu218 -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/20/2005 15:53:44)

vader, go to the gift thread



Vader -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/20/2005 15:59:18)

thanks wu, I love it :D
my third gift, thanks everybody :)

spornax: try making sigs that follow the size rules, 100x400 is a good size usually
and your text looks very pixelated, try selecting the thing that says Antialising in the text tool options menu, it should look smoother
as for the text brush, I'm not entirely sure, I don't know why you would need one when you could just use regular text, its easier. but anyway, I'd just type out the text (remember antialising) and save as a .gbr make sure to resize the document and what not



wu218 -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/20/2005 20:04:12)

go to www.gimp.org/tutorials and select the custom brushes to find out =)



Vader -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/20/2005 21:46:28)

thanks wu, though I still don't know why you would want a brush that has text in it :P



wu218 -> RE: Vader's Gimp tut (10/20/2005 21:48:40)

idn either, anyways click me!
