the first one is te best, great idea. these days i can't get to many good ones :)the second one is really good to but you need to fix up the lighting a little bit.the third one is just not nearly in the same leaue as the others. in the first one try to lower the opacity of the clouds a little.

i like how you've carried out the qhite squares throughout bothe so they really look like 1. would be cool to have the top of the bottom guy's head sticking out in the other one.but it doesn't look like you've done much. a c4d in the background and a render in the foreground then another render just pasted in. play with the lighting by using dodge and burn tools. also play around with the blur and sharpen tools. add a focal point.

i see what you mean. but you got to think that there are 6.5billion people in this world, some will be incredibly stupid. my motto is just point and laugh . nah thats mean.

TDK has also announced the release of a four layered disk, which means 100gb of capacity. i never knew that so many companies were invloved, i knew about dell, sony (cuz the playstation 3 uses them) and tdk. but i mean there are over 20 big companies (would be nice to know all of them not just the ones listed there) it'll be exciting to see them come to the market (maybe then dual layered normal dvds will become cheaper )just saw the thing on 8 layers, thats intense. that would certainly be awesome. but do we really need so much info on a disk, i mean we don't have enough on our hdd to put on a blue ray (8 layered) it would be nice to back up the WHOLE disk but dam that would take a while. but i guess it woulld be more for gaming, the ones for private use would be the single or dual layered ones (i would imaging). i just thought of somehting you would be able to fit all the starwars in hi-def onto one disk!

well if north korea act against china/japan/south korea then it could become a world war. then america and possible a few europe nations will wipe out north korea and pretty much just utter chaos from then on in. hope they don't get australia ivolved, then again i don't live in the most populated city so i should be ok for a while.......

also i think you had the right idea in the third sig but there is something you need to improve on. text is the main thing, now that i look at it again you don't reallly need more blending in the third one. but yes, please do come more active on Xisto.

why thankyou. i am working on a llarge peice manipulation. how many votes do i need to become a member of the GFX team? and thankyou for your vote

well i have heard that the fourth dimension IS time, and they have already defined it and everything. but i've searched and can't find the article on the web anywhere. as for a fith dimension i'm not too sure.

yeah.... also i didn't change the blend modes to get the different results, photo filters, gradient maps are the main things. i don't really like using curves all that much, more like using the histogram.

your first sig: too sharp, simple brushed background, simple text but blended text. try blending your render in more and get away from brushed bg'syour second sig: backgrouns is still brushed but something on the left makes it look interesting, text is ok but theres too much of it. the scan lines need to be lowered in opacity. and you render needs to be blended in with the bgyour third sig: background a bit better thean the other ones... the text needs work, scan lines draw too much attention. the box things over your render is simple but makes it the focal point, you still need to blend though.Your fourth sig: you made the bg from the render, the next step of bg making. the text needs to be blended. lower the opacity of the brushing and when you make the background try to use colors that blend in eith each other. the render still needs blending.your fith sig: very narrow, try to work with a different size canvas, what you did does make it look a bit more interesting though. better text, but still needs work. otherwise the same as before, with the background what i do is i get a photo of a place and bled the render into that. your last sig: pretty much same as your fith. when blending the render don't just feather it like some tell you, use lighting and filter to make it look like the picture was taken with the render already there. for lighting use the doge/burn tool make sure you apply image first) for color effects use gradient maps set on blend modes and photo filters.

born in South africa and living (more than half my life) in Australia.My mum's family is from SOuth africa and some other europian countriesmy dads family are from germany

well i used to have a host that required 25 post to set up and no more, 259mb. but for some reason i can't access their website, must have HUGE server probs, if they come back i'll PM you.

i guess i could lighten the blue in the second one. the last two were meant to have a light effect, not as harsh colors, even though the top two seem more vibrant, i guess you could call that better. i see what you mean by washed out though. can you see the c4d i used, first it made the car looked spiky which looked reallly cool but i lowered the opacity and you can't see it much (forgot about lowering the opacity before i saved i guess)

1- your profile -about you -photos2- guestbook3- forums maybe?4- built in media player with your favourite songs5- shoutbox (like you said)6- template chooser (let your guests decide what type of skin/template they like) to do this just make you index page a choosing page and then pages with iframes in it so your info stays the same but your website changes.

man it's weird. kissing isn't too bad but sex scenes are just uncomfortable. i don't know wether to look away or watch the tv like nothings going on. thats why i try to stay clear of those movies, the other day they wanted to watch jar head, and i'm like oooo that was a bad movie just cuz of the sex scene.

lol, i would not be here , buy my own servers, invest money in shares, man i would buy a house, cars, but making sure only to spend less than half so i can afford to keep the stuff i bought. but i wouldn't like the attention so much, so maybe not too many stuff . probally give heaps to help poverty/charityies that type of stuff. i would like to say that i would give it all to charities but i would have to see when the day comes (i did promise my friend i would buy him a kickass drum kit if i won lol)

hey dylan, i should probally get around to making a welcome topic to someday. anyway, if you ever need some GFX help just PM me. i think i'm good but thats just me

yes i know theres a few versions,,,,, which one is best?

i dislike it, same as myspace. if you want to have a good looking website which you can customize and have no adds they are useless. just set up a forum, people can make custom profiles and pages and then you use the rest of the forum to chat. much better than those cheapo websites.

I had a great experience to, well my dad did. our computer stopped wanting to log into users, couldn't even go into safe mmode and then the guy from miicrosoft talked us step by step to help save all the files in a new directory then the whole drive (appart from the directory we just created) was formatted, genius!. even though all the software drivers needed to be re-installed. Dell well i haven't seem to have any trouble with them.

thats a great colorful sig you made there. the text would have been good without you reapting it 3 times though. good job not just using one end of the color spectrum, some greens, oranges, red, yellow, pink. very good job blending them all together, the sig has really good flow.

it's too big to be a sig. i think the the bg is the best part of it. otherwise it looks like all you've done is a lense flare, text and a logo, then wrapped it up in a bulky border. try putting the logo behind the lense flare layer. otherwise i think it would be better to just get rid of the border. looks too chunky with it. then save it as a .png so the transparency stays without you loosing quality.

something happened to my PC. i couldn't log in at all and safe mode didn't work, try phoning microsoft (if you need the product key it should be a sticker on the side of the tower. they can help you out. we basically did a whole new installation of windows (all users/settings/drivers lost) but they told us a way of backing up the files so nothing would get lost, however for this you need the windows disks. just ask them to send you a copy.

yeh it's not jennifer, i agree that i need to move the text into the top left hand corner and i also need to get rid of the line going through her eye (i'm not creepy NigaiAmaiYume) and the lips well... not sure what happened, i think it was the lighting when i got the stock but me enhancing the lips made it look wierd. once i get my PC together again i'll find out who it is.

just to let you know i think there might be a way of png's displaying sorrectly in IE but i have no idea how. if i do fond out how then i will let you guys know.until then i suggest getting firefox :)this tut is really good since it's like a basic sig+border+slantness tut in one. good work and i'll try to find out how to make it display properly in IE for you
