Aegisub karaoke

TTally — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 02:09:43 GMT

Figured this thread should go here since it's an ASS problem. Dose anyone have any experience they can lend on just making a very SIMPLE karaoke effect in subtitles using Agegisub 2.1.7?? I've exhausted my limited programming experience and google is of no help. (Yes- I even used google).

Contrast - The difference of brightness between dark and light colors (making darker colors darker while bright colors brighter)

Gradient Map - A layer in which has been duplicated and coloured using both BG & FG colours
HQ- High quality

Render - An image with the BG cut out
Render(3d) - Final image projection of 3d artwork.

Some more sites to get Renders from:
http://planetrenders.net/
http://www.nihonomaru.com/
http://www.renders-graphiques.fr/ (can be hard to search through for some, since it's french)
http://animerender.com/
http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=p...st&tags=render (Warning!!, 18+ since it contains explicit content)

You can always search for anime renders on google, imageshack, photobucket or any other site you may find good.

The inspiration thread!!

Duratrix — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 18:08:24 GMT

I noticed we havn't got a thread to post great (inspiring) sigs yet.
And now we have. ^^

This thread is meant to give people ideas when they're stuck or when they want to try a new style.
So post the best sigs that you can find!!

Rules:
1. DO NOT RIP THESE SIGS!!!!
2. Don't forget to add the artist's name from who the sigs are (if possible)!
3. Do not spam this thread!!

Since there can be no more than 4 pictures in a post, I suggest you post the links instead of the actual picture. ;)
Unless some nice and friendly mod or admin would remove that limit for this thread, to prevent a 'possible' massive amount of posts with '4 pictures'. :D

ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE RESPECTIVE ARTISTS!!
Enjoy! And I hope you get inspired by them. ;)
