    Smudging behind the render is nice. The c4d is OK, but needs to be set to soft light or overlay.

    Your render is too bright compared to the rest of the sig and it is a bit choppy. The font is ok, but stay away from big bevel effects like that.

    Hope that helps :)

    yeah, when i use bevel / emboss, i set everything to nearly 0. just to give it some life i use that, and J_Bone, I would take away that stroke, or maybe not make it so thick, i would give it a maybe 2 px MAXIMUM. im not a sig expert, i have been fooling around with CS2 tho. whatcha think of this vader sig?

    When using bevel and emboss change the blending options
    and also change the curves

    Don't like the stroke on the text, eg, the red.

    The text on the next one is too bland, you needs a thicker, more substancial font.

    @Stang: glad you like the sig mate! :D

    J_Bone, Nice, but you've gotta add borders & take off that stroke, I usually just blend my texts.

    How come you were making sigs like this..
    [​IMG]
    [​IMG]

    And now your sigs aren't as good? Is it cos youre using new software?

    I always thougth you were on PS, but if not, then look @ some tuts and follow them word for word. Then, once confident with the tut, you can adapt it to experiment with more methods. If you keep doing this, you're knowledge of the tools and layout etc etc of PS will grow, therefore you sigs will get better and you'll be able to do your own thing!

    That's how I went about it, anyway.

    @J_Bone:

    Here is something my 10 year old brother made, by following that video tut I linked you to. (The one recorded)

    [​IMG]

    The stroke and scanlines, I told him about once he had finished, but nevertheless, he did it all himself. (Eg, I left him to get on with it and came back later.)

    See, he'd never used PS before, but with a good render and the right guides etc, you can get good results.

    Just thought I'd show you...
