Question For Rator...
I know this could be a pm, but that would defeat the purpose of the discussion I want to start.
Anyway I was wondering how you made the water effect (ripple) in some of your works? Reason being: I plan on using the techniques, or whatever you can tell/give me to make some small simple things. One being the little "name banners" I am doing for different people. I am sure I will not be able to reach the proffesional level Rator is at, but I would at least like to have fun with it. I was also wondering where you (Rator) think the best places to get computers are? Whether it be a general "specialty store" answer, or even a specific website, I would enjoy seeing what you guys have to say. Reason being, when I, a 16 year old, get a car and pursue a better paying job (even though refereeing is a good $17/hour minimum, cant work that much). What do you guys think? |
Well, i started doing this stuff when i was like 21 or so and im 32 now. Went to the University of the Arts in Philly, PA and nabbed a BFA in Illustration. Taught myself computer stuff and learned from friends.
Water stuff, use a 3d app, and photoshop or photography. Computers, i use a Macintosh Dual 500mhz G4 with some ram and some disk space, heh. Also have a Compaq 2.4 Gb Pentium 4 with some kind of phat ass video card, also have a compaq 800mhz laptop and a Mac, G3 300 mhz desktop. Dont know what you want, but i get stuff from Mac Warehouse. |
so would that be a no to the "help" question? I am getting the feeling that there is no way for a rookie -> me to do this?
