A C4D should be a part of -, not the background.

they need to blend together, they need to become

no, did you?

ol i see no difference.

look harder

if your gonna leave a comment at least let it be constructive
asking me if i used a magic wand and then telling me that the sig doesnt look different isnt gonna help me in the long run

btw at least iam trying to improve rather than using a render lowering the opacity, setting the background to black, spamming brushes, then putting my name

Dont just slap on a C4D, you gotta mess with the settings and crap and blend it into an actual bg not a plane black bg

Heres a sig i made with like 14 C4Ds

lol..
1) i wasn't asking you if you used magic wand, i was suggesting that you use it
2) i didn't just slap on a render and lower the opacity, i magic wanded it and feather-deleted the outlines
3) i set the background to white, not black
4) i modified the text a little, i didn't just pick a font and type
5) if you're gonna insult someone, make sure you're DOING IT RIGHT

i dont care, your sig still didnt take any great amouth of skill

oh ya that would explain why the backgrounds black, cause you set it to white?
go away

and if you think that was an insult than you must be very sensitive. iam sorry i hurt your feelings.

@crimson
i cant see your pic T.T
and i tried to blend it in as much as i could but they still look like different entities oh wellz ill try again, thx crimson. And if you could somehow upload that picture again it would be great T.T

Whatever looks the best. Use your imagination, mess around with different layers and settings and find the one that best fits the style.

Faiien · **Joined:** Oct 2007 **Posts:** 889 **Location:**

ya iam having alot of fun doing that lol
b4 i came to srf i wasnt even messing around with the layer options, i didnt even realize i could do it like this. Ive learned alot just from seeing everyones sig!
i think i should have one ready for wednesday
ive got 2 essays and a powerpoint to do so...ya lol
thx @ everyone that gave me tips

yes i believe that alot of people use the "strech" method to create a background and then they apply filters to that background to make it different is that correct aaz?
