I am really excited about this one it’s really cool looking and teaches some possibilities that lie in the filters. I found this one over at cgtutorials.110mb.com fly on over and check it out for yourself.

Here are the bloody veins of the original tutorial, nice and gross right? I think it’s very much a horror film style really awesome.

Here is my go at it and I like it, very easy to do with an awesome outcome! The tutorial was very easy to follow except when you get to the filter-render-lighting effects stage, you have to click on the little light bulb and drag a new light source in there and get rid of the old one by dragging it to the trashcan. The original light source  just did not give off enough light to show the image, it was actually pretty dark and black with nothing really showing in the image so I had to figure that one out for myself.

I thought there were some more possibilities with this one so I changed a few things on this one, just for fun. I changed the font, messed with some of the colors and messed with the filters a little too, trying to make the veins a little more intense and juicy. This is one more tutorial that shows you the possibilities using filter-render-clouds and filter-render-difference clouds. The veins were created using those filters and 2 other filters no line drawing or hard work, just messing with the filters. I think overall it was pretty easy, very few steps and an awesome outcome.

I saw this one and thought it went along with the previous tutorials I have been doing. It has a very space Sci-Fi thing going on, I think there are a lot of tutorials and possibilities that fall in the Sci-Fi category. I found this one at www.thedesignworld.com, this the second time I have done a tutorial from this site.

Here is the effect the way it’s displayed from the tutorial, very trippy looking. Looks like it could be used for the Armegeddon movie cover or something.

Now here is mine and it doesn’t really look like the original. I tried to change some settings, I toned it down a little when messing with the hue because if I copied it the way it was described in the tutorial, that glow in the middle gets overwhelming and turns the image totally red. You can see the red starting to form in this one and I could not fix that problem. The fireball still looks cool, it just doesn’t pick up all the flames on the outside like the original.
