Nice results alc59; no time to look at the tut, but will later.

Thank you alc.

Looks like i need to practice on making my pdfs
Don't know what they look like on your PCs but the images are way to big on my 17" laptop
I use LibreOffice draw to make them, what do you guys use?

[molly]

I use LibreOffice too, but mine show each image step over in the left margin, yours just shows the text. Do you use the defaults when you are making your pdf's.
BTW, I think yours are great, they are nice and clear.

I use the export to pdf defaults, here's what it looks like for me in Draw and Foxit

Thank you, alc, for the tutorial!

The ring and sphere look strikingly good!

Looks difficult but I was surprised how easy it was. Lot harder to make the surface look 3D as well.

[alc59]

Looks Great
I can't seem to get away from metal, Thanks a lot Drac...

[Draconian]

Addicting isn't it?

Like you your image. At first I thought it was some sort of golden egg or something in a colander and the hand was holding chopsticks? Then I looked at it a little closer. Nice work.

Why not the ring of Sauron. lol

Thanks again for the tute.

[Draconian]

Now all we need to do is figure out how to make the inside of the ring blank and add some embossed text with one of those elvish fonts like this one. http://www.dafont.com/search.php?q=aelfa

Love this ...

[Draconian]

OUCH! That one looks like it would really hurt to wear it. It is fun isn't it.

Why not the ring of Sauron. lol

didnt know Sauron used Gimp for making his gadgets lol....

[lylejk]

True Drac, but beyond my laziness pedigree. lol

Yup, the ring was forged out of the virtual Lava of GIMP Esper. lol

And to Mike; that just plain hurts. lol

I use LibreOffice Writer to make my pdf's. I think Draw is probably trying to make slides for you. Try Writer and see if you get better results on your pdf files.

Your tutorial and the results I see are really great.
