it would be nice if u can write a little explanation to each of the blending modes, a lot of them seem to do similar thing or do nothing at all.

2 things I want to know.. How to do the text thing, and how to make those swurvy glowing lines. :D

you can curve text by going

filter>distort>shear
youll have to just get the text to bend and make the line afterwards, i dont know how else to do it






id really really really like a text tutorial, just kinda on placement, fonts, and colors

Dont just splash on a random C4D look for one with flow, and then cut it up and place the pieces where it looks like a flow..

ANYWAYS.....

well idk ive modelled in c4d a couple of times but never used the render.
what you could try is layer from background and then delete black with
magic eraser. thats how i normally get things transparent.

try color dodging.

to clarify, color dodge will make the colors in the layer more or less transparent based on their luminosity (is that correct?), so black will be more or less completely transparent.

Pentool is great for cutting out stuff but harder than the lasoo.
