New Tutorial up, decided to take down the old one's cos they have most likely been seen by all and are not very good tbh. This one looks good and teaches you a lot! Hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it :)

I should probably put this in here too to make it easier for you guys to follow my steps. When searching for the C4D renders I found this page which has lots of fantastic renders on there. Note that these are not mine and belong to their respective owners :) SpyderResources (http://s185.photobucket.com/albums/x87/spyderRESOURCES/C4D%20Renders/?start=40)

That's sweet. Seen something similar, on pen tool and lines, but I like the style you use. Look foward to more.

Very nice work dan.

I look forward to seeing your others,
im sure they will be way better than any tutorials that JJ uk and Flash can do.
:)
Heck i haven`t even seen them even attempt any tutorials to help our members out at all,and i dont they will ever make any.
:(
Those guys are lazy,its just a shame that they wont try to prove me wrong.
:p

Grr - Me, Lazy? I've been doing site work pretty much non stop all day today and i'll be doing the same tomorrow!

When I can i'll get a tutorial on creating typefaces. Don't hold your breath though, it might be a while cause i'm pretty ducking lazy.

Hey nice tutorial Dan. I look forward to learning from them. I will be trying my hand at it soon. I don't think I will get close to what you pros do but I will try though:)

The plan is to make a load of tutorials with little tips and then compile them all together to make a tutorial that lets you use all of these tutorials and each of yours initiative to create a tag. I will make one a day for the next two weeks or so. So stay tuned!

Not too bad...Maybe on the next tutorial you should mention the second rule with text, then implement it into your actual tutorial image, haha!

You should have a crack at it, I know you use photoshop but I've only seen youmake 1 thing I think! :P

I have no visual imagination, so it's kind of a pain for me to make things, and a lot of the time I'm not satisfied enough with my results to show them to others. :/

The last thing I actually showed off was this sig, yet looking at it now I can see so many ways I could have improved it.

I always get like that with my work. I've just updated my gallery and was scanning through all my old work and what I thought looked ace at the time I'm now thinking, god that looks awful :O

I like that halo tag with the three sifferent Master Chiefs, great idea that!

Try the tutorial :P I want to know how easy it is to follow :)

It's pretty good but could probably use a border.

You and your borders. :rolleyes:

I like it, and the primary text is very well done, but the font you used for your name completely breaks with the style of the piece. :(

Hey, everything looks better with a border :p

hmmm so i made a few changes... the font choice was an after thought, i think this one works tons better and i normally put borders on stuff, i'm not sure why i didn't in the first place but it's my sig now :D
