awesome Tutorial
But whats the different between this and the Dispersion effect

thank you
the difference between this and dispersion effect is that I go into more depth and go further down the path of dispersion and add more effects to it - think of it like this, it's in the same category of effect but a completely different art style

plus my tutorial + effect is strictly uniquely created by me

how did you make all of those sparks and dispurtions!?! i've gone through tons of other tutorials and they haven't helped, think you can lend a hand??????

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

alekSparx In reply to Art-0f-Madness [2013-02-20 21:59:07 +0000 UTC]

of course the sparks are actually renders used from adobe AE, just google "spark renders" and you shall find something

Yes on a reply you gave the link of you pack of c4ds ( i read every single one before asking for them, lol) i search for them, but only other c4d packs are available, and i used them, but the effect isnt the same, the shapes are very different, there more angular and such, if you please can share the ones you used for the tutorial, pretty please <4.. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

alielmejor In reply to alekSparx [2012-05-15 18:29:55 +0000 UTC]

Um I don't remember lol, but they aren't similar to the ones you used, they are more like fractals and backgrounds, um, where did you get yours?, or could I have at least a part of your folder? (preferably I want it to include the ones you used for this tutorial lol). Thanks

alekSparx In reply to alielmejor [2012-05-19 15:37:17 +0000 UTC]

sure thing - these are the ones I have used in my tutorials and like 3/4 out of my designs - [link] - hope that helps haha, if you need more just ask me, these images are like high quality + glossy looking which is hitting a gold mine with 3d renders

I haven'r really played with photoshop or C4D since back in highschool when the GFX scene was really popping, must have been almost 8 years ago now. Your tutorial inspired me to give it another go. It's obvious I am still really rusty with both C4D and Photoshop, but this is what I got.

I added a little spatter brushing and some effects renders as well, I was aiming for a Star Wars meets Prototype look.
