It looks like the edge of the logo is too clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAB Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 CreamSoda, what exactly is your problem with GFB? You insulted him in his Dallas Stars thread and now here. He did nothing wrong at all, and posted an awesome tutorial, yet you choose to criticize him. Why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarsHockey Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Well then, someone just went to patsox/Nick level.Wow. That is rock bottom. Creamlover was frustrating me. As far as the concepts, all are mind-boggling. 98% of people claim to have "brought sexy back." Well, I'm the 2% that never left.Hometown HeroesDallas Stars- Brenden Morrow // Marty Turco // Loui ErikksonDallas Mavericks- Dirk Nowitzki // Jason Kidd // Jason TerryDallas Cowboys- Terrell Owens // DeMarcus Ware // Terence Newman // Felix JonesTexas Rangers- Ian Kinsler // Elvis Andrus // Marlon Byrd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-kj Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Gentlemen.Please take the meta-discussion over appropriate posting elsewhere; /dev/null would be a good choice. I'd hate to have to close what is otherwise an interesting and informative thread over some bickering.Extra note for CreamSoda: Please do not continue down the path of insulting people who are posting helpful information.

huskeraddict Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 I love you Mockba.GFB, I need some help with the PS action. I open up the texture and it's a background layer. Then, I paste my logo in and rename it like it says. I play the action and it goes fine until a few steps in, this pops up:If I don't hit 'Stop' it continues and gives me an error for the next step and so on.So what am I doing wrong?

Davidson Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 hmm. strange person to take offense to?gfb did a great job of putting what i did into ps. works great.with regards to questions about after effects, there really is no comparison with flash as an animation tool.its mechano to duplo you know. its not got the bright colours or the initial ease i would guess, but you can do farmore with it.almost all of my reel is after effects: its not something you pick up quickly to be honest and you will need some help. lynda is a great place to start.im really not convinced its worth using in order to do stuff like this. i just use it for familiarities sake.if people wanted to make something simple i could perhaps do a small tutorial on how to make those spinning gif logos?sorry about the after effects thread highjack.

Well I had to give it a go myself and after playing around with it I came up with something a little different but based on the same principles. I left the file in layers and switched off everything but the grass layer then using the green channel did a color range of 200, I then inverted the selection and deleted this from all the logo layers I had. The result of which is a slightly off copy of all the individual blades of grass, which allows a small amount of green and all the shadows to show through. (shown here against a blue layer for illustration purposes only)As a result of all the deletion the painted logo looked a little light so I added a third duplication of the logo set to softlight but set the opacity to 30% (it didn't look bad without this layer so it it's really up to personal preference as to how "fresh" you want the paint to look). Then the same as before I added the greyscale grass layer over the top set to color burn at 25% opacity to help bed it all in. Full image comparison below, older one on the left the newer one on the right. I think between us all we're going to end up with something really tight. C&C's or further upgrades please.9erssteveps. Davidson, I know that Flash and After Effects are very very different I just meant from a user interface perspective I found After Effects less daunting as a first time user, and yeah I'd love a tutorial for the rotating logos, thanks.
