well,i was wondering if anyone has some nice smudge settings Like firey effects and blah blah.... Iam all blocked with the smudge thing,so maybe
^^Many people use that, its whored. What I've been using recently, is the elliptical calligraphy brush to smudge, AND IM NOT USING ANY SETTINGS WITH IT. Just the plain brush can work wonders ^_^ Also, try the chalk smudge. That works well with some shape editors. When creating a new smudge setting, don't put scatter too high, same with spacing. Try and eliminate spaces between brushes. Try different sizes too....it changes the flow, and looks good imo ^_^ Also, putting the smudging at like 100 power....IT LOOKS LIKE ---- IN MOST CASES. But sometimes it looks good. Try varying power for depth.
Forget smudging. That won't be popular again for another six months to a year. Right now the only way you'll get any praise is with piling up tons of random C4Ds and throwing a render on top. F*ck I hate signature culture.
Inverse that's because the target audience of signatures are the kids who use forums for games, that market changes every grade xD
