Oh so paste as new layer?

oh, click the new layer button, that gives the pasted thing its own layer...

ah, that locks the layer...just don't click it...

uncheck it and try again...idk if thats your problem though, but try it...

None of the circled places are like that are they?

is there a little chain like thing next to the layer?

Yes, do you see the opportunity for flow here? Outward and up from the spear head with the guy over to the side, the only complaint I have is that it cuts off, but for now just roll with that one.

you don't need a smaller render you need a render with movement near the face or focal area...then you don't have to down size it as much, just enough to fit it all in the sig, do you need examples?

Very nice action, but in order to fit it in a sig you would have to down size it way too much, I'm sorry to keep raining on the parade but to you get what I'm saying?

well, as you can see, squirtle isn't doing much, try to find one with action like the other, but don't down size it quite as much...try sizing it just enough to fit the head and arm in of the other one, if you really want a squirtle one...

um...why don't you pick another render, that one doesn't offer much opportunity in a sig, maybe I'll go more in depth latter, but your looking for one that offers action and an opportunity at flow, depth, and the other main subjects of sig making...

I don't ever scale my c4d's and I only use them to create flow, not to fill space, thats were people mess up is using them to fill space...

don't resize them, and place them on screen almost always place them on screen behind your render ...not under the white thing, which I still suggest removing...

okay thanx.

you really don't need a tutorial for either...With c4ds you get one and the paste it in rotating it or whatever to create flow setting it on screen and lowering the opacity to make it look good. And gradient maps are use to alter color and stuff heres a tutorial with them:

So about the clipping masks, did you figure them out, cause they are very helpful...Anyway about the sig, you are improving greatly. I mean take out your spyro sig and look at it compared to this one...Anyway I would suggest trying some gradient maps and c4d's, they can be found on planetrenders, on this one to blend the render in more and do something other than the white stuff cause it looks wierd...

so, about the clipping masks?

Dafont.com

did you ever figure out how to do clipping masks?

Do you still want lessons? Or are you just taking a break?
