iGuest 3 Report post Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) Very nice. I can't wait to check out how this is going to look using multiple "cloud" renderings, different canvas sizes, and other colours. I can already see what my new Website's logo is going to be . Thanks a lot, nini. I hope there's more where that came from . By the way, I couldn't help but notice that this effect is almost exactly the same as the one included in this thread: Photoshop Tutorial: How To Create A Lightning Storm, which was written over a year ago. Yeah well, I got a nice effect either way, so I'm not complaining . Best Regards. Edited May 26, 2006 by Djetamun (see edit history) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velocity 0 Report post Posted August 5, 2006 Wonderful post! Thanks! I have done this before, and its just awesome. I saved the lightning bolt as a brush, so whenever I wanted to put a lightning like that in i just clicked. Very useful. Will use this tutThanks-Kyle Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quatrux 4 Report post Posted August 7, 2006 Hmm, I like this effect and would like to use it, but as I don't have Photoshop, only Gimp, I got lost as bit on Step 5, how can I do the Step 5 thing on the Gimp? Any ideas? :S Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

04dsmith86 0 Report post Posted January 15, 2007 (edited) Great tutorial! I had to render the clouds a few times before finding one that looked good. Also, thanks for the idea of creating a brush Ky1e...I'll have to do that. I layered a few using Linear Dodge and added texture, I think the result was a nice abstract pattern.

mixxoys 0 Report post Posted March 18, 2007 You guys have to spread out from just doing forum sigs and stuff in photoshop! Learn to use the pen tool! Make some uber graphics, get hired, be the next ipod designer or something, just stop doing stupid forum signatures! Oh, and also! This is nice, and its also fun to use the clouds filter and dodge and burn it to your imagination, its like looking at clouds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Arkane 0 Report post Posted March 27, 2007 I have to say, for the simplicity of the tutorial I LOVE the effect it makes. One thing I noticed was if instead of setting the levels to 155 : 44 : 255 you can set it to 155 : .1 : 255 and the do the same levels again and you get a nice arc of lightning, repeat on a couple different layers and you get something like this. took me like 5 minutes, color isn't so great because I just went to indexed color and used blackbody. Either way, GREAT tutorial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
