Scanline Tutorial

hi guys im going to show you how to make scanlines on your sig so it looks like you t/v

first of all make a new document 1x2 it dosent have to have a title so just call it 'untilted' like this:



you might see that there is a tiny little standing up rectangle on the new document
next of all you have to zoom in by pressing ctrl and the ' + ' button, zoom in as close as you can. so then it looks like this:



next grab the smallest brush you can find, then hold shift and make the document half black and half white like this :



then go to edit > define pattern...
and name it 'scanlines' B)

go and open your sig that you want to put the scanlines in. ( i used a killzone pic because i cant be assed to make a new sig ) and make a new layer.

once you have made a new layer go to :

edit > fill...

and put these settings in :



you can set the opacity between 5-15 over that it just might look like something coming out from your......anywho you will get something like this :



mess about with the size's eg 1x2,2x4 or even 3x6 and mess about and make some new patterns like my sig

sorry about the fuzzyness of the printscreen

any questions please reply here

enjoy

 

oh yea and also can you please comment on it

 

theres a lot of scanlines tutorials but urs isnt bad.. also include the grid, diagonal scanlines, and dots (5x5 pixels)

 

thanks dude i spent alot of time doing that.......good bye G.C.S.E

 

oh i forgot.. its better if you just have a transparent background instead of white.. because the scanlines will work for anything that way and you wont have to lower the opacity as much

 

........ok then.......ill try that... :unsure:

 

jah nice TuT m8 creates a braw effect well done and transparent does help more but nice TuT could i put it on ma new website im making ?

 

lol im just saying.. thats the way that i do it. or i just create a scanline brush thats the size of about 500 x 200 and use it once on any sig to finish it up

 

hey vexta what font do u use on ur sigs?

 

yea dude thanks i tried th transparent effect and it works well



and the font i ise for my sigs are called ' base 02' from dafont.com

 

Mind tellng us how to make them diagonal?

 

Nice Tut I will try it out

 

Good but INCREDIBLY common.

as for making it diagonal check the other scanline tut or take my crudy text image...

0XX
X0X
XX0

replace the 0's with the color and follow his directions exactly save for changing the one image somewhat...

and mess around if you want...

XXO
XOX
OXX

that also works

 

i always use a other scanlines but its nice

 

Been done a million times but not bad so people who may not see it elsewhere will see it here.
