What is your opinion on people using C4Ds in their pieces? --------------------------------------------------------------------
In my opinion I think it is kind of cheezy. Because most people use them for the majority of their backgrounds and is it really ok to use someone elses work in something that you are calling your own? How much of your signatures are really made by yourself? I understand that if you make the C4D yourself then god bless you becyase you are talented...I tried and its rediculously hard.
Imo, using other's C4D's is ok. I sometimes even use C4D that I've collected over time from various packs. Although I believe it is ok, I rarely use them. But for novice and moderate gfxers, I think its a good thing to use, especially to help them learn more about the PS programs. I agree though, I tried the C4D program once, and it is WAY more confusing than PS lol.
The abstracts that are used in the majority of "good" tag's are most likely not made by the user. I believe in using only what you have created. I'm not all about sig's anyways I am more of a large art guy, things like wallpapers and digital paintings. I don't believe you HAVE to use C4D's to go onto greater things because you don't. Experimentation and general familiarness with the program helps you achieve more complicated or effectively simple and experienced designs.

Your right for the most part imo, but I still think that if you aren't familiar w/ PS, using C4D's correctly will help you become better, based on the simple fact of yourself experimenting w/ the C4D and getting new outcomes!
To learn the c4d program is not easy. Its like learning photoshop all over again. It takes time effort and motivation. However there are people who make c4d for you and you dont have to worry bout learning the program. I use c4d rarely but on some sigs I can go all out with c4d. Depends on what outcome I need.
lol, motivation quit trying to sound like all that and a bag of chips. you don't know everything. you don't know half of it. your rankings show that.
its not cheesy i used to use c4d alot. i used them for effects not the entire background. i still use them for little touches. and most likely always will. you say to be different. and say how much of you sig is made by you. your sigs look like a nice little brushpack with 2 wrestling pitcures trown on there are lowered opacity to make them blend. then huge ass text that is completely random and ugly.
so, please, quit trying to sound like a pro. don't say i'm an asshole, i already know.

Ok and you do know everything? Yea you might know everything about using someone elses C4Ds and calling it your own. I have taken 2 different photoshop classes. One on Photoshop itself and how to use it, like restore old pictures and that. And another on design, like placement, what looks good.
Edit: I won't call you an asshole becuase I am too

i don't call it my own. show me 3 of my recent sigs that show obvious c4d and nothing else. have a nice time looking. no, i don't know everything. thats why i'm high inter. if i know everything i'd be pro.
Im not flaming you just to let you know...so please don't make this into one and please to any mod do not delete these posts...It's just friendly conversation.
But seriously, people are acting like just becuase some random person that you have never met in your life and probobly never will says "wow pretty colors - Intermediate" doesnt mean that you are that you are good or bad for than matter. And honestly I havnt seen your work so it was wrong of me to make false acuasation about you using C4Ds but I just figured it becuase most people on this site do. I myself and into more sleek, cleaner, looking works. Others like high contrasted stuff with really crazy designs. Thats fine, its just not me.
