HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

Well, i'm sick of PS3 and xbox 360 fanboys arguing everywhere i go, so i made a little avatar as a statement to my neutrality in the never-ending argument...should i use it?



edit: sorry, the poll is messed up, doesn't matter which yes or which no you put, i know simple math i can handle it

Neat idea I guess, but the execution is rather poor. The orb looks like is has a point, which shouldn't be there. It needs to be much smoother. Notice on the original 360 that the X is embedded as more of an "infinite" crevasse of green goodness. Yours sorta just pops back out. There's no power or depth to it.

PS3 Sucks

I agree with the above statements.

Layer styles are useful when they are used correctly, but I'd stay away from the bevel / emboss effect for the most part until you have more experience with it.

I only really use the bevel / emboss effect when adding gloss or a slight sheen to my layer.

Example:


The only thing that differentiates the first block of text from the second is the addition of a layer style.

From my experience, layer styles are mostly useful for adding effects to text. For more advanced graphics, particularly emblems or graphic logos, you would probably want to become familiar with Illustrator or another vector-based software package.

now with more infinite-crevasse-ness and less reliance on layer styles

Still doesn't accomplish the appearance of an orb.

make the logo look like it's actually on the orb, instead of flat. It needs to bend along the curved side of the orb.

TBH first one is better IMO.

Keep working at it.

more orb-ular?

Nope, still flat.

The problem is with the logo, not the orb. There is no distortion of the logo being on the surface of an orb, it's just flat.

in order to make a more "spherical" shape, you can try Filter>Distort>Spherize on PS...

What was the point of repeating him?

I thought Timmy didn't understand that we were talking about the logo and not the sphere.

i didn't feel like explaining that to him.

Did you read his post at all?

forget it

ah, i see what you mean...



there, used that spherize filter you mentioned

grr...these forums don't like when i post polls, they always disappear

Still seems barely noticeable.
