Pyro would make a great firebender.

Cheers,

I had to muck around with a couple of C4D renders took me a couple of hours to get the right render to suit the sig, then strip it down to what I needed ):
Sucks being a perfectionist

Reference pictures of The Pyro doing his taunt and images of fireballs help a ton.

Hmm... i havent really made sigs in a while and would like to start and I guess that would be a good place. So all you did was use some particles and coloring on top of some C4Ds?

I had a look at the original file seems the fireball was made up of a combination of two C4D renders, added more effects with by painting in what I wanted, and used masks to get rid of the particles that I did not desire.
I intended the two C4D renders to give the fireball a sorta fireworks explosion look turned out a bit better than I originally planned tho.

Altogether it's about 32 layers.

I'll say even though it seems easy it took me several renders and lots of restarts before I got to the point where it all came together like I wanted.

where do you get your C4Ds? As i have never really used them before and havent done anything other than web design in some time.

I usually just bash C4D renders in to google and see what comes up, I think we've got C4Ds for people to use on here too.

Well i finally got down to working on it... I have c4ds and such but i have no idea where to go from here to help with the explosion effect. Maybe if you can give me your email i can send you the screenshot im trying to alter. Thanks

Unfortunately, I can't remember the tut I based this off but its got something to do with grunge style sigs and brushes I used where like from +3 years ago so I can't remember the name D:
Sorry I couldn't tell you but thanks for the fav anyways :3
