Wurger · 04-05-2008, 07:29 AM

Wayne Little · 04-05-2008, 06:19 PM

Thanks Roachie!

I have made one as well! I hope you like it. I miss the importance of the "In Oz" part, but I haven't been here that long.

I tried just putting the code in for easy copy and paste, but it had some scroll area with the picture in it again. :S

I like that one Catch!

Did you use Photoshop? If so, how did you do the background?

Catch22 · 04-05-2008, 09:39 PM

Thanks! I did use Photoshop, CS3. I'll tell you exactly what I did.

I started off with a white background as Layer 1.

Layer 2 was this picture of a Ta 152, on normal, 100% opacity and fill.

Layer 3 was an Aussie flag on normal, opacity and fill at 24%.

Layer 4 was the Wilder Sau emblem off to the right on normal at 59% opacity and fill.

Layer 5 was a gradient map in pure red (like the band on the tail) on normal at 58% opacity and fill.

Layer 6 was a gradient map in pure yellow (once again on like on the tail) on normal at 58% opacity and fill as well.

Layer 7 was the Ta 152 cut out, on normal at 97% opacity.

The remainder of the layers were the text and border (Deutsch Gothic font).

The final layer was a normal layer that was applied then sharpened to removed the fuzzy sex tape look.

I don't know if you have PS or not, but I just assumed you did hehe. I'm a bit puzzled on text placement though. I dont think I have it right.

Njaco · 04-05-2008, 10:19 PM

I'm still trying to get layers down. I'm using a freeware called Gimp and its really good but not much choice on fonts - at least I haven't found it yet.

Catch, that looks great!

Catch22 · 04-05-2008, 10:25 PM

Thanks! You can actually download new fonts from a place called dafont.com

There are instructions on how to use them on the site, but I've never used GIMP, heard of it though, but I don't know how it works with fonts.

Thorlifter · 04-05-2008, 11:55 PM

Awesome Catch. Thanks for the lesson!

Wayne Little · 04-06-2008, 03:02 AM

Catch, man that is excellent! I like it lots!!

'in OZ' short or slang for Australia!

Still want to see the magic of Wurger though!...now the pressure is on!

Catch22 · 04-06-2008, 11:15 AM

No worries guys!
