This is my first time posting here and I just wanted to share what I was able to do with some of the renders I got from here . I'm not sure who exactly they are from, sorry, but all came from here of that I am sure. I am also pretty new to the whole sig-making thing and was hoping for any suggestions, thanks.
Are they're any newer slightly more advanced techniques that I could use? I'm not too familiar with anything; just started getting interested into this kind of stuff.
I think what he meant by haven't seen that in a while is that there aren't a lot of people that just start with photoshop post on here every day, because the pixel stretch is still a technique that is very popular with new people. Now onto your work, for a beginner this is usually how everyone starts out, this site has a great tutorial section that will teach you a lot of new tricks, I would recommend this tutorial, it's not too complicated and is meant to teach new people a lot of stuff. http://www.gamerenders.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=350251 So ya just look at that one and have fun learning.
Hehe i only just learnt what pixel stretch was i started on loads of images crammed onto one page and them blended a bit. There good for beginner, like the others said above have a look at the tut section..
