Does anyone know any good tutorial on using C4D for Gimp?

I don't really know how to use it.

Could you rephrase the question?


You want a tutorial on using C4D images on GIMP? If that's what you're asking, there's hundreds of ways. Just look up GIMP signature tutorials and a lot of them are bound to use C4Ds in them. Each on will likely be a different method. Take some of those, then experiment.

LOL, yeah that's what I meant.

I found some tutorials, but I still don't really know how to make my "C4D flow with the render".

Some people say try erasing some parts of your C4D

but whenever I do that..

it screws up the whole sig

:/

Well, I'll try and explain it.
I'm using Photoshop so the techniques are different, but the overall point is still the same.

The flow is the general direction of your signature. Determine it by the way your render is placed, the way your render is leaning, etc. Anything that would point the render in a specific direction.



See how her head is tilted to the left? Your effects should all lean that way, which would give the signature a flow from the bottom-right to the top-left.




Now, just because of the C4D I'll be using, let's pretend the flow is backwards, so it's heading up to the top-right. Find a C4D/edit one so it goes that direction.

This is the C4D I chose:


Now, the part on top doesn't really go with the flow, plus it makes the C4D too big and bulky. Thus, I'll delete the top half.

Then, I am left with this:


Now, it goes with the flow and it's a managable width and height. Now you'd apply whatever effects to it you want to make it blend it better. Brushing, smudging, layer effects, etc.

Thanks MrWafflez.

Right now, i'm having problems with Gradient Map.

How do you use it?

Like everytime I use it it really ****s up my pic.

I tried playing around with it, but the outcome is terrible.
