btw in the empoleon one the text is star avenue? z0mg my favourite text that I always use :p
haha pretty sure no one even reads half the stuff in my CnC anymore but I do try my best to get a touch on pretty much every aspect I notice because I'd rather help others than help myself aha.
 
Yep, I downloaded the font at dafont.com yesterday and I am lovin it so far. It is very modern.
 
@epm : i think border too thick, 1-2 px shud be good. The whole tag/sig is too simple, extra effect should be added. What I can see are merging of render, border, and a background/c4d. But overall is still good ^^

here is my new tag, please comment.

Yuri: I think the Vert. Tag could have done with some black on the light parts of overlay to make it more visible.

EPM: You should use Card Scan renders over sugimori images. Overall they help to make a better tag, and it's easier to see where effects should be added since the render naturally has more life to it.
 
not much to comment on that first tag because it doesn't look like too much was done to it rather than then some text and a few brushes.

the second one seems a little bit too bright and glow-y in my opinion. You should probably try avoid adding flow to your text because it is too distracting and draws my attention away from your focal. Also not too sure about the border. I think a nice black border would of done nicer to frame the effects a bit more rather than blending in with them. Not bad though so KIU

1)[NEW][HOT]What's usually the last things you do to finish your tag?
Generally I just see how what it looks like before I decide on what I do. But after all effects are added I always have to add my filters and other tools; sharpen the focal lightly, blur the background, do a light high pass, use lighting effects, burn and dodge.
Than I do my adjustments layers; Gradient maps, curves, brightness/contrast and the occasional photo filter or two.

Kinda my end of tag rituals :p

4)[NEW][HOT]Favorite SoTW Theme?

Freestyle- I don't really like to be constricted in what I do, I prefer to be able to do what ever I like.

or...

B/W- This involves a bit more thought than freestyle. Because in B/W you really have to work on the brightness and contrast side of things a bit more to make it look good. Good lighting is also pretty much vital and that doesn't mean a random white soft brush added.
 
Sorry Josh, can't really comment anything about your above tag because I haven't done anything that style.

So, guys, still I'm struggling to learn the Cinema 4D. However I have improved vastly from last night (last night is when I got it)
Hope that you guys will be able to use C4Ds made by a fellow MD member in the near future ;)

EDIT : If any of you guys know how to use Cinema 4D properly please help me. I'm still in the basics.
 
^haha man just because you haven't done the style doesn't mean you can't comment!
I really think this is a type of style that I can always use even when I move on.
Bokeh is really cool X)
 
about your tag, i think you should use c4d that can match the background colour, and the font should not put at there, it's like hiding your font. Overall, good.
 
Hah text was meant to be kinda hidden. Text isn't meant to stand out too much so I still put it there cuz I think it looks good. And also only 1 c4d aha. The other effects were bokeh. And if they matched it'd be all green and wouldn't have the pop I wanted. Thanks for the Cnc!

Whoever made that tut is dumb lmao. I'd just forget everything it taught you :p
Reasons why it is amateur
1)The colours don't match the render at all
2)The effects it teaches you has no flow
3) The render does not blend at all
4) The text is way too big and draws too much attention
5) No depth
6)No lighting
7) No adjustments.
I could go on lmao.

Not your fault that the tags aren't so appealing because you followed a tut with an even worse outcome because they made blastoise yellow? wtf aha.
