Tesla Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Hey coupes do you know to make the glowy text effect in Paint Shop Pro Or Photoshop ??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 man... it's been a while now since i used PaintShop Pro, i'll have to reinstall it, but if you have Photoshop i'd suggest using it instead of PSP because it's much (much) better. anyways to do so in Photoshop you simply have to double-click your text layer in the 'layers' palette (but DO NOT click on the 'T' icon, it'll only select your text). Then select 'outer glow' and change tha parameters to what suits your needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to do a lightsaber blade i usually keep it simple and draw a white line with a slightly blurred outline and use an 'outer glow' like i just explained to telsa.

Tesla Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 CoupeS sorry to bother you again. How do i make an animated lightsaber avatar or sig?? Do i draw a beam with a glowing outer edge and compile it frame by frame or is there another better method?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkiTzoGuy Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 Well i guess i thought of a new signature and avatar, its goin to be based on Star wars, i want one just like coupes except, its green and has Boba Fett on instead. and somewhere on it has my name...

Largo-LaGrande Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 yea coupes how do you do that effect like in your sig? could you give me a step by step example (sorry bother) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupes. Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 @ telsa : well what i usually do for an animated saber is i create a new document, let's say 500 by 500 and make the bg black. Then i draw the white line which is gonna become the saber, i then add the outer glow and duplicate the layer and transform it to the way i want the final frame to look like, i do the same with the original layer so it's like the first frame of the animation. then i duplicate whatever layer or use a extra copy of the original layer that you could have made before transforming it, and i make it so it's the middle frame of the animation, i do it like that so the distance/differences between each frame is approximately the same. You continue like this until you filled the gaps between the frames of your animation with the number of frames you want. here's a visual example (it's crappy but it might help you understand) if i want to do a saber moving from left to right in 5 frames i would go like this: where '|' represents the saber 1 - |.... 2 - |...| 3 - |.|.| 4 - |||.| 5 - ||||| then i link all the layers together and drag them into a new file that's 70 by 70 and position them the way i want in the frame. then you open imageready (i assume you are using photoshop) by pressing 'ctrl + shift + M' and hide all your layers but the first one then create a new frame and hide all the frames but the second and so on... that's about it... @ Death Jedi : if you want do make a sig like the one i'm using you have to prepare using a lot of layers depending on the complexity of the design. to acheive a grungy/dirty look for an image you might consider looking for grungy brushes on the web, or if you're a more advanced user, you can make your own, or simply use the default photoshop brushes. I cannot really explain how to make such design cause all you have to do is add a color, for instance white, and substract from it using the eraser, lasso or marquee tools. the reason it involves a lot of layers is because it is much easier to work on a small part of the image at the time this way you can use bigger brush sizes or selection and not erase all the work you just did on the other side of the image, it can get confusing but i suggest to name your layers in that case it might help you. you might also want to look for a worn out, grungy font to add to the look. also if you want to have text that's 'negative' (the text is in fact transparent) just write whaterver you want ... then select the layer from which you want to remove the text and click the text layer icon from the layers palette while holding Ctrl this will select the shape of your text, noe you jusy have to hit 'delete' and hide/delete the text layer and you're done. as for the 'scanlines' effect, it's basically a layer alterning black(or whatever color) lines and a transparent lines, then you adjust the opacity level of the layer so it's looks like you want hope it's not too hard to understand, it's kinda hard to explain. @ everyone: BTW if you haven't already done so, take a minute to vote in the swamp's sig/av competition, the more voters we have the better!

coupes. Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 here are some brushes to use them you have to place them in the right folder, i'm not too sure of the path cause i have a french OS as well as a frech version of photoshop, but it should be something like: program files/adobe/photoshop/predefined parameters/shapes then in photoshop open you brushes palette and click the little round button with an arrow on it and chose the option 'load shapes' or 'add shapes', again i'm not sure of the name in english but it should be something like that, and choose the brushes you added previously.

coupes. Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 @Tesla Trooper : oops! sorry, i honnestly always read your name as TELSA, so here's the sig without the typo: @ Death Jedi : to add a frame in imageready you need to click the icon that looks like a page with a folded corner (that's actually what it is ), it should be just to the left of the 'trash' icon. and concerning the brushes, i don't know what's wrong, it should be working. what is the error you get? or you might want to try and right click and select 'save as...', it might work for you. here's the link again : linko @Everyone : seriously, if you haven't voted in the sig/av competition yet, do so cause the vote will close soon... You don't have to be in competition to vote, the more votes we get, the more accurate the results, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
