Great render man, thanks.

I'm looking for how to add some funky shapes and such to my graphics, like thicker lines and just some patterns.

Anyone?

You could always download a vector shapes brush pack.

Try these:

Thanks man, I added a few brushes in there. Here's my result (read HBKRock's tut.)



Not bad, I s'pose.

[V e l o c i t y]

Sweet, I like the way you adpated the tut to your own by adding the shapes.

[Kanenite]

Aye, instead of just plain copying it, I'm adding my own stuff to it. All I've been doing is the basic sig for ages.

[V e l o c i t y]

Yeah making sigs ain't about copying someone elses style, the best style is your own.

[Kanenite]

Is that how you did the black and pink lines in your sig and stuff, with vector brushes?

[V e l o c i t y]

I did the black shapes with the pen tool and the pink lines I used a hard brush.

Shall I explain further?

[Kanenite]

Aye, it you could

Did you learn all this from tutorials? I've only ever read about 5 ever

[V e l o c i t y]

I learned the pink lines today and I've been using the pen tool for a while now and just figured that's how other people do shapes for brushes and stuff.

Pink lines:

You need your defualts brushes for this.

1. At the start of the menu the first brush that says 9 click that and then just change the pixel size to 2 or 3.

2. Then just drag it along the side of your render.

3. Duplicate the layer and then drag that layer out to the side to create more.

Shapes:

1. Grab your pen tool it's on the left of the tool menu about 6/7th down.

2. Make a random shape.

3. Right click>Make Selection>0px>OK

4. Fill with what colour you want.
