    lo all!

    Im new to this forum and I'm hoping to become a regular member. I thought i would make my first thread a tut and here it is :D This is my first tut I've made so sorry if I have been a n00b about it. I would appreciate if people would rep of cred me as it has taken me a lot of time to make this tut.

    This is the final product:

    Bare in mind this is without any text, brushed borders etc...

    Now with the animation. Remember to add your own text, borders or other effects before you animate.

    The steps are pretty clear, but the final product is a little cheesy, no offense. ;)

    Not really cheesy but thats your opinion. You can always try different blending effects on the gradient or different colours. If the shine is too bold you could change the stroke to 1 px instead of 2. Fiddle about with it and its a good effect. thanks

    Useful tutorial, but in one step, you say to make a Horizontal line, but you made a Vertical line, might want to change that for some people.

    yea cheers lads, whoever said about the horizontal line and that, you have to draw a horizontal line to get a vertical line if you get me. Where you click and drag you have to click and drag a horizontal line to get vertical.
    Yea looking over it i have been a bit of a n00b but i put a lot of effot into and i just wanted it finished, if anyone has any problems PM me.

    Cheers
