TOXIC Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I guess scanline option should be optional ? Spaz? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM™ Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Nice work Eazy, at first I thought making a userbar was hard before I actually came into the GFX work, now it's like simple. By the way, what font did you use for the TUT? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hansui Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 i think he used Bank Gothic font... making userbar is like making a 1 minute gfx, but hey, nice effort you put there... props to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earthbound Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Aside from a couple spelling mistakes, this is a decent guide. Good stuff. PS: It's spelled opacity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Pie Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Am I doing this right? Or are there any tips on how to make it cooler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvas. Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) Spell mistakes fix'd ! And Huck that's pretty nice for a first one. Everything is right there.Although try making the cut-out a bit more darker or make the background a bit darker......just try it and see what happens or leave it as it is.But i think doing those things will make it look a bit more better if you have blended the cutout then just use the burn tool ON the render so that the eclipse's a bit more visible and the render is also a lot more noticable lol... Glad to see that my first tut is doing good... Edited April 1, 2009 by Eazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butters! Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Thanks! Very helpfull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 There were alot of mistakes. Inclusing where you spelt MOZILLA wrong. That's kinda the entire point of the userbar. Also, call it an UB and people won't get what you're on about. Also, circular marquees are ellipses, not eclipses. And bank gothic hurts the eye when you use it as body text, try something designed as body instead of header. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvas. Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Yeah I know that I spelt mozilla wrong but bankgotihic doesn't really hurt the eyes of anyone leaving you.... Also eclipse/ellipse kinda same people can understand that lol....also it was my first mistakes were bound to happen lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrLlamaLlama Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 I'm just saying that when it's all in caps, it's a bit offensive, and seems like you're using the type for the sake of it, instead of to make it easier on the user. My tut from a while back - notice how its a bit more calm, and the lines are easier to differentiate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alvas. Posted April 1, 2009 Author Share Posted April 1, 2009 Ok Llama dude a little while after i will remake the whole tut after a while in a new topic fine now ha ? then it will be perfect i assume but for now let be it k ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOXIC Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 (edited) Tried something out on Huck's Does that look kinda shitty due to gradient or the pink color? Edited April 2, 2009 by TOXIC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrLlamaLlama Posted April 2, 2009 Share Posted April 2, 2009 Just put it in this topic, and make a mention that it's been updated. 2 topics makes more confusion, and it's unnecessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Lord Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Pretty vauge.In fact you have directly used the resulting images.Instead you could have gone on in bit detail like how to select the ellipse using the marque tool. Also picturing the use of opacity reduction and the creation of the scanlines.Those people who DO know about these are bound to know how to make a userbar.Taget the audience which have just the basic knowledge of PS.

Dark Lord Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 Yea.This one is much better and detailed. Nice for beginners to understand with all pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spaz The Great Posted April 3, 2009 Share Posted April 3, 2009 I guess scanline option should be optional ? Spaz? LOL, I love how I got recognition there. Spell mistakes fix'd !And Huck that's pretty nice for a first one. Everything is right there.Although try making the cut-out a bit more darker or make the background a bit darker......just try it and see what happens or leave it as it is.But i think doing those things will make it look a bit more better if you have blended the cutout then just use the burn tool ON the render so that the eclipse's a bit more visible and the render is also a lot more noticable lol... Glad to see that my first tut is doing good... Actually, I quite like how his is blended. Pretty vauge.In fact you have directly used the resulting images.Instead you could have gone on in bit detail like how to select the ellipse using the marque tool. Also picturing the use of opacity reduction and the creation of the scanlines.Those people who DO know about these are bound to know how to make a userbar.Taget the audience which have just the basic knowledge of PS. He did explain how to make the scanlines clearly enough for a newb for figure it out. I agree though, showing the use of certain tools in screencaps can make life way easier. I actually quite like how it came out, but the second one is definitely better((I didn't read the second tutorial, I meant the second bar)). Quite nice.
