ok so i was trying to make a detective conan sig, i blurred all around him and burned it so it was only him in the sig and all around him black, so my question is how can i make a good background.
I cant use c4d since it wasnt a render, all i could think of is brushing but everytime i brush, comes out like crap

You know if you set a C4D on lighten or screen the black parts go away.

Whats so funny he said he wanted a background and he couldn't use a C4D and I assumed it was because they had black backgrounds.

i dont think u read my posts
i said that wasnt a render, when i put a c4d, its a diff layer and its either on top of this layer or behind, if its over i only see the C4D, if its behind then nothing changes

Set the C4D to lighten or Screen it will get rid of the black in the background and well make it blend in with the back.

Render it yourself and then do what ever you like with it, it wont take more that 5 minutes...

I dont see how not being a render stops you from using a c4d. I never use renders anymore, just stocks and i still use c4d. Explain how you use C4D. You set them on lighten right...?
