I will use it again and be more imaginative with a different render next time but I struggled with those smoke stocks so I thought it'd help me more if I followed it completely to get a similar result to your result, Ratchet.

Great tutorial though - the result is great and you've made the tutorial very easy to follow with detailed instructions.

:D

Nice result sig, seems you really did well with the smoke and c4d's great job :)

Thanks for the tut Ratchet :D
I will follow this tut when i get home :D

0.o myn failed miserably =( But thts only because i rushed through it during my media lesson :D
. . .i was very limited to Renders and C4D's as pretty much every GFX site is blocked due to "R rated content" =|

And for the smoke i had to use brushes as the link you provided was blocked by my college lol =/
Oh and its waayy to bright because the college computers have got max contrast and you cant change it =/

But loved the tutorial, i will deffinatley have another go at it tonight!

Not happy with it but I definitely picked a few things up. :)

Here you go Ratchet! As I said, I didn't know how to use a gradient map thing, and is not as sharp. Plus I had problems getting the render to go white after inverting the colours - they went green, more turquoise actually.

Nice result spud. I guess you missed the part where is said to desaturate the smoke. Gradient maps would of made this a killer result but it's easily sorted :)

Fantastic colours are great. Text placement needs work though.

The c4d in background look transparent :\ The flow is a bit off but you managed to smoke effects. Maybe add a yellow/green gmap to it?
Good effort

Colours look good on this one and effects. I think some more of that pink c4d needs erasing though.
Nice effort :)
