hi, i'm new here!!!

after surfing thru the forums, i saw alot of cool graphics!!

i just want to know where can i learn them??

Welcome to the forum!

Well, first off, what program are you interested in learning?

Creator B)

photoshop and bryce...

i've got ps7 and bryce5

I'd like to learn graphics too.

Well, Photoshop can be learned from out tutorials section. I'll add some more basic tutorials to it later.

Bryce, hmm... what kind of things would you like to make on Bryce? Like realistic scenes, or backgrounds for banners or wallpapers, or osmething like that?

Creator B)

I'm not sure if I have Photoshop.

backgrounds first.... then scenes

is that ok???

All right. Do you have any affects that you would like to learn first?

Creator B)

umm....
not really....
ow ow...
maybe a crystal type one i guess...

I'd like to learn general stuff first.

I have Bryce 5, but have no clue how to use it.

Here's a random question Sandman. When did you get a sudden interest in penguins?

Ok, this is probably a stupid question, but do you think Bryce would work on my Pentium 166 mhz?

What's Bryce?

maybe....
but it will take a heck of the long time to render


bryce is a 3-d graphic program

lol. Well, i've always liked penguins, so I figured, why not?

i also would like to learn something that looks really techy but simple to do....

if u know what i mean

Making crystal like things is very easy in Bryce... 3D like crystal things that is. If you want 3D crystals, and know how to do abstract stuff in Bryce, than crystals are simple. You just take the pyramid object, stretch it out, and rotate it.

In Photoshop... eh, it will take a bit, but I'll write a tutorial.

Creator B)

So where do I get started in learning this stuff? Photoshop?

i know how to do crystal in ps.. so thats coolz..

i was trying to go for a 3-D look...
so yeah

i see a lot of places where ppls make outer space abstracts


can u teach me those!!

Okay, well, look for the abstract tutorial at shiver7.com and do that. It will give you a nice abstract effect. After that, I will teach you to make crystals using that same effect.

Creator B)

..........aah.....

i've already have......


is there more tuts around??

Okay then. Instead of making circles, what you need to do is use the triangles, or pyramids. You need to stretch them out, so that they look like crystals. Just follow the rest of the tutorial than and you're done.

Creator B)

oh icic... coolz
thanks

Any time. :)

Would you like anything else?

Creator B)

How in-depth is your knowledge of Photoshop?

Well... that depends on what you need to do. I can go very in depth with web design, brushing, and a few other things, but if you want something like the pen tool, you'll have to see some one else.

Creator B)

ummm.....
how about brushing for ps7

i really need to learn that!!!

what do u think of my tag??

i made it....!!

hehehhee

Very nice.

Brushing... eh... well here's my brushing.



Creator B)

that looks coolz

now u can teach me
hahha

please..

Well, what I do is make my background black, and using the paint brush tool with opacity set at 75%, I take random brushes and paint the image. Once your done just do Image > Adjustments > Hue/Saturation and colorize it. I sometimes duplicate the layer and set the blending mode to "Overlay" for a darker, more trendy look.
