    Since I'm really interested in Graphics, and can't for the life of me find any good ones, I'll ask.

    Where can you find decent, c4d's (the part of a tag/icon that makes it look 3D I believe) for GIMP? I can't find any. Thanks!

    Well C4D's are found all over but I would recommend PlanetRender. They don't make the image look 3D but they do add some pretty cool effects. To add to that however, they're best used in photoshop. Gimp is pretty weak with them, in fact, gimp is weak in general compared to PS.

    • Opacity is how transparent something is basically.
    100% Opaque means you cannot see through it at all, while 0% means you can see completely through it.

    I always thought 100% Opacity allows you to see it and 0% Opacity doesn't.

    To clear this up, in photoshop you have the ability to make something at a certain percentage of opacity, so if you're working with a number of layers you may wish to make some less visible than others. I shall display an image with out any opacity, so just a normal image, and an image proceeding it with 60% opacity.

    Normal on the left, 60% opacity on the right.

    Fully invisible = 0% opacity/opaque
    Fully visible = 100% opacity/opaque

    Reminds me of "Gin" from the Bleach anime.

    Just wondering if anyone had a nice link to a pack of brushes (and/or) C4Ds. I can't find a good one for the life of me.

    • A render is an image with a transparent background while a stock is like a photo and has a background and everything.

    Basically, a render is a cut out shape like a character cut from a wallpaper or something.

    • When you are using stocks, generally you need to stack things because you can't place things underneath, so generally a good way to start is to get some textures/light textures/bokeh and put them on like 'lighten' and stuff and stack them on top.

    Yep.

    • Fairs enoughs, renders can be cool cause you have more freedom I guess in terms of what sort of effects or whatever you want.
