Preserved Topic: Need opinions :) (Page 2 of 3)

Im just glad when I made this topic i didnt have it email me when people reply cause reciving this many emails just to fine that they dont even answer mny orignal questions would be very displeasing.<P> <IMG SRC="http://members.dencity.com/ForceCommander/lilsiggy2.jpg">

testing...testing<P>

Your original post only contained the following question:<P>But from what I posted before I feel at least Im getting better can we agree on that?<P>I agree. Now are you happy? Stop whining!<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

Testing the sig again. <P>TF X17, I don't know what to tell you, I agree with DL-44, and you know my comments on size. Are you looking for more than what we spoke of in the beginning?<P>

Yo TFX!<P>Don't sweat the small stuff brother. Look what you ended up doing....you inspired many of us to create our own personalized "sig" files, and that's really cool.<P>Many of us can be tough to impress, but your efforts have not gone unnoticed. Keep up the good work, and keep learning, you have a bright future in any endeavor if you're willing to put in the time and effort.<P>peace <P>

Ok now I'm gonna whine! How come I'm not eccentric with 124 posts when F1_Error is eccentric with 124 posts?<P>
I feel eccentric.....LOL<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

TFX, 2Winspapa is right about influencing us to create sigs... before that we were all being lazy! LOL<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

whoa boudga....you're actually raving! heheheh<P>

Stark raving mad!!!!! hehehehehehahahahah...drooool....Gimmme some Thorazine dammit!<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

Aaaaaaaah! There are roaches crawling all over me! Get'm off man! Heeeeelp!<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

Honestly, 2winsPapa, I liked the first sig better, without the blurring of the light.<P>TF X17, The sigs you made at the top are great. I prefer the second one, the gladiator one, because it's much more subtle and seems to fit in this reddish environment much better than the blue one does. (You may want to try more faded shades of blue or something on the first.) Size, however, is an issue =) so before you use them, use a combination of resizing and cropping to reduce the size without losing the important parts of the image. You're pretty good for the first week or so of using the program for web graphics.<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/slimesareneat2/images/slimesig.gif">

Heh heh, yeah, this has turned out to be a great thread! I love the things I see coming out of it. <P>TFX17, sweat not, aren't you learning stuff? We're just people, with opinions (more than most, perhaps!) and ssometimes we get cranky, and other times we drop earls of widsdom, and some other times we talk out of our nether ends, so it goes.<P>Wes! I liked the one with the dotted line, that was a hoot, I was clapping my hands when I saw it! Do some more with that, I liked it.<P>Here's the format for sig inserts...<P>&#91;url=http://www.yourdomain.com&#93;&#91;img&#93;http://www.yourdomain.com/yourimage.gif&#91;/img&#93;&#91;/url&#93;<P>For other ideas, I was thinking first about cutting a hole in the background, and sinking my sig down inside it, how would that be? Have fun, all!<P> <p>[This message has been edited by DocOzone (edited 26-05-2000).]

Somehow Doc I can picture you rocking rapidly back and forth in your chair clapping like a crazed seal.... there's a visual for you guys!<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

Ah well, thanks for the sudden umph in replies. Just to let you guys know about the blue sig, none of these sigs where intended for this board, they where intended for http://pub9.ezboard.com/bthefallenforums and so I would think the blue matchs a bit better. Yes I am learning much this week, and I thank everyone for there help and support. But I have a question for 2Papa, how did u make the blur light come off your arrow? That is very neat, is there a tutorial out there? Did yu jusy bulr so white? Please tell me yer secret <P> <IMG SRC="http://members.dencity.com/ForceCommander/lilsiggy2.jpg">

tying to post this last night....damn freeservers......
sig test mk2<P> <p>[This message has been edited by r@m (edited 26-05-2000).]

That's pretty **** R@M! I like the look of that!<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

That's really cool - I love the way it blends right into the forum like that. But if you're going to use it as a sig, I hope you're planning on making it much shorter? Better to have a long sig than a tall one.<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/slimesareneat2/images/slimesig.gif">

Thanks, Doc. Just playing with a dotted border and realized it looked like a coupon, so i went with it. Of course, then everyone started talking about subtlety and I thought it looked a little too bright and obnoxious - made me self-conscious! I prefer a low profile...<P>r@m - like the hole much! I'm interested in how you got the bubbly acid-burned effect.
<P>

working on it , in the middle of a 4 way on ICQ,
just a test
thanks

whoa!!<P>way cool r@m! gotta show us how you did that!!<P>

i'll throw a quick tut together when i've finished the rust one , it's taken much longer than i planned :P
thanks guys <P><P>

OK, this one's just for funsies. Let's see if it works...
<P>

I like that one Wes. Nice distortion, and it's simple. <P>

Someone slap me! I forgot how to get the average of two colors in Photoshop...<P>anyone care to humiliate me?<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

Neat sig Wes ...the bubbly acid effect is just 3 layers, each shape is slightly smaller that the first, each with slightly different colors, apply the texrizer filter decreasing the amount for each layer, use sandstone texture, top left lighting , relief of about 13 and just decrease the scaling, dark colours work best.
The center is the same shape contracted, use "paste into" with whatever you want in the back ground, then apply inner shadow.<P>Let's fill this forum fulla holes ! <P>

How to get the average color of a background in Photoshop:<P>1.Open your background image.
2.Give it a Gaussian Blur of 32pixels
3.Use the eyedropper tool to select one of the colors.
You now have an "average" color. <P>
BTW this is plagiarized from Ozones Transparency 2 Hands On.<P>

That doesn't make sense to me...I'll go see what Doc's Transparency tute has to say.<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

I hate trying to draw with a mouse! It's like trying write a letter with a bar of soap.<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.raceamerica.net/images/sig.gif">

Test...<P><img src="http://kublai_khan.tripod.com/sig1.gif"><p>[This message has been edited by DL-44 (edited 27-05-2000).]

Well, I finally decided to join this thread. This is a sig I put together in about 5 mins, if it comes up with a white background I say s***!!! cause it's supposed to be transparent...<P><P>
Lepricosa...The Leprosy Ointment. For when your not half the man you used to be.

Hey Skaarj that's neat , i like it lots, whats the problem with transparency?<P>I think in a forum simple is best, I like the idea of blending sig's into the colour scheme.<P>boudga.....
"I hate trying to draw with a mouse! It's like trying write a letter with a bar of soap."<P>ha ha h a lol, drives you nuts doesn't it ?
I was desperate enough to try taping a pen to the top of my mouse, Gaaaah!<P>
<p>[This message has been edited by r@m (edited 27-05-2000).]

Cool sig, Skaarj, but if you want transparency then you have to remember that gifs only support boolean transparency, and not partial. In other words, the drop shadows have to go. Or just change the white background into the average background color which I mentioned above somewhere.<P> <IMG SRC="http://www.angelfire.com/ma2/slimesareneat2/images/slimesig.gif">

Nice skarjj -- streamlined, smooth.
Make sure, for transparency, that you set your background color to the color of the forum (slime posted the RGB values earlier), and then select that color as your transparent color when you export your gif. If you need more details, lemme know.<P>--sig test here:<P>

ok, another sig test on a dark cell....<P>

any away to get .swf's working? or are they a no-no here?<P> <p>[This message has been edited by r@m (edited 27-05-2000).]

Really like the rust effects you get r@m -- nice work. Is that pic on your home page? I know I've seen it, is that where?<P>

Thanks DL-44, it's in Doc Cybers "Softwsre Stategy" thread.
http://www.ozones.com/forum/Forum3/HTML/000063.html <P>btw , what's the record for replys to a post?? this threads burning up!
<P>

heh heh heh...they should change the icon for this thread from a burning folder to nothing, it would have burnt up by now!<P><P>

I love your guy's sig's man! Yo DL, your signature looks like it's peering in from hell!<P>

Well, as a matter of fact....my own "Sky Taffy" topic had the highest that I recal at aproximately 70-something. Yes, I'm drunk with my over-exagerated sense of self-importance!!!!!!!!!HHEEEEEE-hheeeeee-heeeee-hhaaaahahahahahahaah!!!!!!!!!111<P>Okay........all better now...<P>
