Photobucket sucks for hosting big images. :) Try something like Fileden(Or maybe imageshack works as well, but last time I tried it got resized).

From what I can see, looks like a great tut. One of the few I'd be willing to try. But can't read it! My eyes! x_x

Not bad, nice for beginners/intermediate I suppose, but you can do SO much more with burn/dodge :)

dont mean to poke holes but how come most sigs look the same or all use similar effect, sure they do look awesome and take time to make, im not knocking that im just curious why we dont have more diversity when it comes to sigs

I think it's the if it's not broke don't fix it rule. There are things to explore sure, but if fundamentals make the sig look good changing it may only result in a bad looking sig.

not really look at dark jackles he has a kick ass sig that isnt rolling this usual trend, either way i wish i could make my own sigs but yeh dont fix it if it aint broken was more of an observation, i love my sig and thats using some of the mainstream techniques i would have thought atleast not seen zelzin since he made it

Popout sigs are quite commonplace, I guess people using photoshop want to play around with tools and effects, simplicity doesn't challenge them. They want to feel like they actually did something.

well theres a certain style to dj sigs also the fact he used home made renders or made by his friend would explain the credits but you could also make your own renders for the sigs,

Not enough people skilled in photoshop know how to make renders in illustrator unfortunately. The way I see it, if I can make a nice looking sig and not draw in illustrator then that's that. Homemade renders can be copied also, just take any deviant art members' illustrated sketch. It's too much effort for me with minimum difference just to be different.

Frame by frame with photoshop would be easiest. If you want to make movies you'll need something like maya or lightwave with a model maker.

Manually move the second frame to where you want it.
