!~~Show off your sig~~!

[Carcrazy]

Well, seeing what you had to work with it's decent, but that's not really what you would call an idea render...

[Jopuma]

That's not a render to be honest.

A render is saved in a .png format on a transparent background. With that you have to cut it out still. But it does give me an idea.

Lol, laptop's LCD made it look like there wasn't a background...

@ Sizzle: I really really like the third one . The last one is a bit grim though, lol.

I know it looks n00b-ish, but it was another experiment sig...

I actually made it to be my sig, since I'm sick of this lame a** Grid sig, but it seems as if we still can't change our sigs... >.<*

[Porsche-AG]

I'm lovin' the colors you used on that sig. All around a great piece.

[baumaxx1]

I like how your grid sig looks... lol.

[Carcrazy]

lol

If you want you can use it once the Signature system's are fixed...

[baumaxx1]

I got a new one in mind. If the CTC goes ahead, I need something fitting. I'll link it to the CTC page, have the challenge, CTC bar, and then maybe just a pic of a car.

[Carcrazy]

CTC?

[Jopuma]

Counter Terrorist Corps ?

[xHaZxMaTx]

Counter-Terrorists win.

[[S]izzLe]

callie. timmy. called

[baumaxx1]

Your CTC questions have been answered. I have the image, link and coding sorted, but I can't edit my sig >_<. I need it as a link to the comp page.


It's not perfect, there were a few PS glitches actually, but couldn't be bothered.

edit... transparent backgrounds aren't working!
edit... I have to save it as a .png, but it's too big.
edit... what do I save it as so it's on tinypic?

[Carcrazy]

File>Save for web & Devices

There should be a drop down box in the panel, use it to select the png-8 format...

[xHaZxMaTx]

.PNG-8 transparency is only as good as .GIF transparency. A pixel is either opaque or it isn't; there's no in-between, like a .PNG.

[baumaxx1]

Lts see it now, the edges appear a bit buggered though.

True, but it's the only way to keep a decent sized png image under the 50kb limit.

[Jopuma]

There's another option that works brilliantly. Don't use a 18-wheeler sized sig and save it as a transparent .png. Saving an image that's smaller with transparency would be much smaller and have the high quality of png-24.

[Porsche-AG]

Could someone resize these sigs to under 50kB? Any comments on which is better would be appreciated, too.





And no, I didn't make them myself; they are just portions of abstract wallpapers I cut out.

SHAZAM!

What about those sparkles in the top right? And the city-ish background next to the girl's arm, or is that part of the render?

Just wondering, not criticizing.
