C4D Overlays with a Cooling filter among other filters, inverted disappearing text. Keep in mind it will look a little off-color againt the dark background of this post...i suggest right-clicking it and looking at it as only the image on a page (right click -> view image). Stock image can be found here (not sure if it was too big to put in my post, can edit if desired): http://www.webwombat.com.au/lifestyle/fash...es/hewitt-3.jpg I know i cut the top of her head of...which is usually a no-no, but i didnt just want a head as the focal and when i resized it it looked goofy. Edit - Sorry i posted in wrong spot...moderator please move to right section :unsure: n00bish mistake...my bad
Why make the tag if you're only going to spend 15 minutes on it? I can definitely tell you only spent 15 on it, because its really bad. This is also the wrong section.
Are you relatively new to GFX? I'm just wondering, not meant as a putdown or anything. Anyway, it's a very simple tag and honestly it does look like it took 15 minutes to make. There's no depth to the tag as the C4D's which I assume is what is making up the BG don't add anything significant. The placement of the render is fine but the effects that you used on her are overdone and way too dark. I would also use a different font because the one you chose isn't good. If I'm not mistaken, that font normally is used for small, secondary text and shouldn't be used at larger sizes like it seems you tried to do. You're off to a good start, just keep working at it.
Yes, i am new to GFX. Normally i just use brush sets and color balances with a render in there...but i'm trying to learn more so i figured I would make an attempt at a new technique. Thanks for the pointers! Now as far as makign the C4D more visible without distracting from the focal point, would i wanna experiment with blending options? or opacity? or both?
On a plain white background it usually wont do anything special other than disappearing when playing with blending options on, well, anything. Play around with the opacity unless you change the background color to something dark and set it to lighten (most commonly used) etc.
