Advanced (Smudge) MGS: Raiden [PS]

[DeletedUser]

This tutorial shows a simple and elegant method of creating a smudge signature. I marked it as advanced because in order to get a good result, you need to:

• be comfortable using a brush to smudge and blend elements together
• know how to create/manipulate clipping masks
• know how to create gradient maps
• be willing to experiment (save often!)
• tolerate typos ...

NOTE: For the step that mentions using a PSD file for the displacement filter, what I did was save a cool texture stock image as a .psd file, and used that for this step. Read more on the displace filter here.

I am a huge fan of this one Rclay! Great job IMO! I have tried to do something with this exact render multiple times and for some reason I always have had trouble.
