never seen them

[Aemaeth]

Avatars with the char sprites in? animated? i think i know what he means

[Lycshiftz]

Yeah those lol.

[Aemaeth]

Just google search it lol, fansites usualy have them alot

[Lycshiftz]

No I wanted to make my own lol. Like edit them with someone elses wings or effects or something...

[Aemaeth]

making your own would take a long time, you have to draw every pixel your self, then antmate it, draw some more pixels for the effect you want, repeat untill finished, takes AGESSSS

A little different from Phoenix...

1. Open a new doc... Size it about... 400*400 pixels.

2. Grab the Gradient tool, take these setting:
Gradient: Reflected gradient. Mode: Difference.
And check the Dither and Transparency boxes.
Oh... I almost forgot: Opacity: 100.

3. Hehe... A little ripoff from Phoenix:
"Then go apeshit with the gradient"

4. Filter- Distort- ripple: default.

5. Duplicate the background layer.
Use Filter- Distort- Wave: Type: Sine.
Numbers of Generators: 255.

Wavelenght: Max:500, Min:250

Amplitude: Max: 500, Min: 250.

Scale: Horiz:1, Vert:1.

Undefined areas: Wrap Around.

On the newest layer.


6. Set the blending mose to Lighten.

7. Filter- distort- Wave: Same as before, but change the type to Triangle on the background layer, And set the Numbers of Generators
to 107.

8. Merge the layers.

9.Duplicate the layer.
Use Filter- distort- Wave: change Numbers Of Generators to 255
and change the type to Sine.

10. Change the blending mode to lighten...
and merge em'.

And you are done!

As I said before, this tut is almost like Phoenix, with some changes...



From Global DJ 2k:

Open a new doc, any size...

Press "D" on your keybord.

1. Filter- Render- Clouds.

2. Filter- Render- Difference Clouds.

3. Ctrl+L, and for the first: Default, second bar: 3.0, last: 180.

4. Duplicate the background layer.

5. Filter- Distort- Wave on the new layer:
Just randomize a little... Triangle.
Change Blending Mode to Lighten.

6. Duplicate the newest layer.

7. Edit- Transform- Rotate 180.

8. Change Blending Mode to Multiply...

This is what I got when I used a Doc with 450*140, I think...




*From Global DJ 2k*
Anyways, start off a new document:
• 500 x 500
• White Background

- Go to Filter > Sketch > Chalk & Charcoal with the default settings.

- Filter > Render > Difference Clouds.

- Followed by hitting CTRL + F twice.

- Filter > Sketch > Chrome also with the default settings.

- Filter > Distort > Wave with the following specs please:



- Duplicate Layer and set the Blending Mode to Lighten.

- Edit > Transform > Rotate 180º.

- Still working with the new layer only, press CTRL + U, you can do as you like here, but if ya wanna follow my lead, choose:



- CTRL + E to merge the layer down.

- Filter > Render > Difference Clouds.

- Filter > Blur > Gaussian Blur using:
• Radius: 3.0

- Edit > Fade Gaussian Blur.
• Opacity: 100%
• Mode: Soft Light

The end. =/




*personally have used this before*



This tut is originally from Forsken Creations

This will make a result similar to Inside's techno feelings

1> New document 500x500

2> Fill with black

3> New layer

4> Select the pen tool and pick a color that you want to use

5> start making a bunch of misc. shapes

6> New layer

7> Use the pen tool and just make 1 small-medium shape

8> Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you get 20 layers of pen tool shapes

9> Set the blending mode of all layers to overlay and the opacity to 50% (except for your first pen layer that u created with step 5)

10> Shift+CTRL+E to merge all layers

11> Dupliacte the layer

12> Filter>Distort>Wave (just hit randomize a few times and make it look cool

13> Edit>Fade wave 50% opacity|blend mode set to overlay

14> Set the layer blend mode to lighten then merge the layers

15> Repeat steps 11 and 12

16> Edit>Fade Wave opacity 50% set the blend mode to Soft Light

17> Set the layer blend mode to linear light

18> Duplicate your layer and set it to multiply

19> Merge all layers (Shift+CTRL+E)

20> Repeat step 11 and 12

21> Edit>Fade Wave opacity 50% set the blend mode to Lighten

22> Set the layer blend mode to overlay and merge the layers

finished! example...

8.Image > Rotate Canvas 90CW, ctrl+U to colorize and your done

[Veck]

hm, maybe there is a way we can figure out how to animate the windblast going around the circle, i dont itd be that hard to do.

[jedimaster86]

hm, maybe there is a way we can figure out how to animate the windblast going around the circle, i dont itd be that hard to do.

mayb u could add an outer glow to the layer, and then do the same thing as the "glowing text" tutorial or something like that, that may work but im not sure. you could also mayb copy layer and use smudge to stretch out the edge even more, then animate from the regular eclipse picture to your modified eclipse picture and just throw some tweens in there...

*edit* oh i think i see what u mean i didnt really read ur post that thoroughly. u could try starting with just the outline of the circle (planet) and then make the second frame the eclipse picture, then tween them.

[laMe]

holy **** murder you turned out to be quite the sig maker and i applaud you *claps* anways can i move some of your ealier tuts to digital tech design please since there awesome, ill give you credit
