@nick: the splines are not as smooth as i wanted, but maybe you're not looking for this anymore. there is an alpha channel saved into the TIF that will let you quickly erase the background.

**nickster_uk** · 06-23-2007, 05:55 PM

That's freakin' awesome freddyhard...thanks very much

How did you make that?

**carsey** · 06-23-2007, 06:22 PM

i use 3d studio max4 with finalrender0. i should have got nicer ribbons for the time i spent on it, because it was only 1 spline with 5 circles (each offset from the first) 'lofting' from it. my excuse was it wasn't late enough last night to get it right.

**nickster_uk** · 06-24-2007, 10:05 AM

Well I think it looks great so thanks again.

Would it be possible to use Photoshop to make something like that?

**koala** · 06-24-2007, 10:11 AM

You can use the Pen tool to create a line/path, then edit the splines to create the curves, and then Stroke the line at the required thickness and colour.

EDIT: Or you can draw the lines freehand, then go to Select > Modify > Smooth to smooth out any irregularities.

**nickster_uk** · 06-24-2007, 10:14 AM

Thanks koala..sounds like a challenge but i'll give it a go

**nickster_uk** · 06-24-2007, 10:36 AM

Just to add...I find the pen tool very tricky to get to grips with. Is anyone able to recommend some good pen tool tuts please?

**koala** · 06-24-2007, 10:51 AM

This one covers what you're trying to achieve. Some more here and here. And a Youtube video.

I still haven't got the hang of it completely. You'll find once you understand the concept and how it works, then it's quite easy (or so they say).

**nickster_uk** · 06-24-2007, 11:01 AM

That's great...thanks koala

**Spatcher** · 06-24-2007, 02:15 PM

I'm really biased towards mine, but aren't these supposed to be logos rather than images?

Inactive · 06-24-2007, 02:47 PM

we probably have gone off the plot a little, but it's only just fun time. mine was only a piss take on the great fire of london, but koala is working on a proper one - leaving the germans out of this one, i think.

**nickster_uk** · 06-25-2007, 06:22 AM

I got carried away a bit from the original idea but if it's any consolation, I think Spatcher's is pretty neat too

**Go The Power** · 06-25-2007, 06:38 AM

I think they all look good

I can see what Spatcher means Nick

**nickster_uk** · 06-25-2007, 06:48 AM

Oi!

**Go The Power** · 06-25-2007, 06:50 AM

hehe

I still said it was good, just not a logo.

**nickster_uk** · 06-25-2007, 06:54 AM

It's a good job this isn't the banned thread! hehehe

**Go The Power** · 06-25-2007, 07:03 AM

I have never seen you in the ban thread

**nickster_uk** · 06-25-2007, 07:09 AM
