Simple but really effective. I'm really amazed about the effect which can be made so simply. Congratulations, I really like it !

Nice effect, I hope that you join the Graphics end on the site, we really need more people, and enter the contest in my signature. I usually use the Mosiac Effect to create an effect to help show off the render in the signature. I naturally don't like using effects and c4ds. What font did you use in that tutorial. It flows pretty well with the effect. I would get rid of the cloud render in the back because it makes it seem well faked. It seems a lot like fake icebergs in the background. The text itself looks pretty amazing, and would go great with a blue themed site as a header.

Nice, but I'd use a grunge map instead of render clouds. I hate render clouds. They always look the same.

haha I kinda agree on the clouds.nice effect...I did something similar once but it wasn't so nice. I like the blooming effect. I bet if you applied another effect afterwards you could get something smoother.

Simple and nice tutorial on how to achieve this kind of effect. I would leave the third picture from bottom, because the last two weren't so special, even though it depends what you want to do, but I would rather do something different with the last two bottom pictures/images to achieve something icy

Yeah, the pixelation is a bit too much. K.I.S.S.

Well, it would have been more unique if HE/SHE actually gave out that tutorial then copying it. Trap has a strict code about copying material just for the MyCENTs. I suggest the message from haslip teaches you something on this forum. Obviously you never read the rules.

Sky, he posted that over 6 moths ago and he has less than 15 posts... Do you honestly believe that he will ever get around to reading your reply?
