The template is also by Magik and you can get it on her blog HERE (I know I know...I changed it up)

(Click for fullsize)

Feuer frei! Forum Style tut (Animated, No Scraps)

2012-02-11T15:37:00.000-08:00

First of all lemme say this is not gonna be for the faint of heart. It is HEAVILY animated and will require a lot of jumping back and forth between PSP and Animation shop. Also it could take quite awhile to get the flames just how ya want em.

And in case you were wondering basic English translation would mean "Bang bang
Fire at will!"

Supplies used:

Till Lindemann tube by one of my all time favs Ed Mironiuk. This is a private commission but you can find loads of his tubes at CDO.

Rammstein font. Get it from Dafont HERE

Pixelette font

Eyecandy 5:Nature (Fire)

Eyecandy 4000 (Glass and Gradient glow)

Texture brush of choice

Animation Shop

Rammstein logo (or something for your background)

Click for full size then right click and save...

Open a new image size 650 by 250

Flood fill black.

C/P Rammstein logo (Or whatever you are using for your background)

Add a new raster layer and "paint" with your brush. (If your brush is too bright just lower the opacity a bit :P)

C/P Close up tube in the left corner. Change layer property to screen and opacity to about 42.

C/P your main tube in the center of the tag.

Using your lasso tool select around the area you want to add the flames too (Example mine was the arms so I traced along the arm with my lasso then just traced a empty space above them. Another option would be to add a flame tube along the area to use as your base. The flames will cover it and you will never see it.)

Apply the Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire plugin with the following settings...

You may need to adjust the Column length depending on your tube.

Okay now things start getting a bit more tricky...

Deselect. (If you used a flame tube you want have too:)

Copy merged and paste into animation shop as a new image.

Back in PSP Hit your back button 4 times...Your flame area should be selected again but the flames should be gone.Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire again but hit the random seed button. Deselect.On your logo change the opacity to 90. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

Back in PSP Hit your back button 4 times. Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire again but hit the random seed button. Deselect.On your logo change the opacity to 80. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

Back in PSP Hit your back button 4 times...Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire again but hit the random seed button. Deselect.On your logo change the opacity to 70. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

Back in PSP Hit your back button 4 times...Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire again but hit the random seed button. Deselect.On your logo change the opacity to 60. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

Back in PSP Hit your back button 4 times...Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire again but hit the random seed button. Deselect.On your logo change the opacity to 50. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

Back in PSP Hit your back button 4 times...Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire again but hit the random seed button. Deselect.On your logo change the opacity to 40. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

Back in PSP Hit your back button 4 times...Apply Eyecandy 5: Nature Fire again but hit the random seed button. Deselect.On your logo change the opacity to 30. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

So at this point you should have 8 frames in animation shop. Select all your Frames and hit shift + D to duplicate your tag. Select all the frames on the duplicate. Then go to animation, reverse frames. Select the first frame on your duplicate and select all. Back on your original select ONLY frame 8. C/P your duplicate frames after current frame. Run your animation to make sure it is smooth. You should have a total of 16 frames now.

You can always skip to adding your name at this point if you would prefer but here is the instruction for the marquee text.

Open a new image in animation shop size 650 by 250 transparent background. Go to Effects, Insert text effect. Type your text into the define text box. I used Pixelette font size 10 with these settings...

Now you can always just add this straight to your tag if it works but I wanted it to stand out more. (Make sure all frames are selected in both tags and drag frame 1 to frame 1. If you dont like the position just hit back on both images and do it again :)

Go to edit, Select all, Edit, Copy. Paste into PSP. (You should see all your layers...They are from the bottom so if you want you can rename them. Bottom frame is 1, 2nd frame is 2 etc)

Close all your frames to make it easier to work with.

Open frame 2. (Frame one is blank so that is fine.) Add Eye Candy 4000 Glass...

The Gradient glow of 3...

Then Dropshadow...

Close frame 2. Select and open frame 3. Repeat the above steps. Do this for all 16 frames. (At this point I cropped the image so I could line it up better)

Make sure all your frames are closed except frame 1. Copy Merged and paste into animation shop as a new image.

Close frame 1 and open frame 2. Copy merged and paste into animation shop after current frame.

Repeat steps from all 16 frames. View your animation to make sure the marquee still runs smooth.

Select all the frame in your tag and in the marquee. Drag frame one of the marquee to frame 1 of your tag.

Go to animation, Frame properties and change to 20.

In PSP type out your name with the Rammstein font. Repeat the same steps for the font you used for your marquee but you may want to change tab 2 of your gradient glow down to just a red glow.

Copy just you name and paste as a new image into animation shop. Make sure Propagate paste it Checked and drag to frame 1.

Don't forget to add your copyright and watermark!

This kit is available direct from here for just $3!! Just click the donate button. If you would like to donate more that is up to you. You can also donate direct to Garrett on this website HERE. You can get his tubes at CDO.

Supplies used:

Silver Gradient of choice

Combichrist logo (Right click and save)

WARNING!! This tut is not really for the faint of heart. There are multiple layers in the animation. There are also frame changes in the animation stage. If you don't want to animate you could always leave out the silver gradient part of the mirror.

I would love to see any results for this tut as well. Send them to me at tragedy6996@hotmail.com and I will post them in my blog as well :)

Okay let's get started...

Open a new canvas size 600 by 600.

C/P frame in the upper left of the canvas. Resize by 60%

C/P your tube. I used mine to position where I wanted the mirror and the cropped my canvas accordingly. Dropshadow.

Back on your frame layer. Use the magic wand to select the inside of the frame. Selections, Modify, Expand by 3.

Add new raster layer. C/P Paper 6 into background. Adjust, Hue/saturation both set to 0.

Save your selection cause we will use it again later. (Selections, Load/Save selection. Be sure to name it something you can find later)

C/P Combichrist logo. Use your deform tool to position so it is all under the frame. Change the opacity to 42.

Using the pixelette font size 10 type out your lyrics so they fit properly. I used lyrics from Combichrist's song Throat full of glass. Then I duplicate them for the bottom of the frame.

"Can't stay awake, Burning alive.

I cannot breath this poison air filled with lies.

Why can't ya see, What's done to me.

Live in fear the sun is fallin from the sky."

Change the opacity on this layer to 62.

Load the selection you made earlier. Add a new raster layer and floodfill with the silver gradient of you choice. Mine is at and angle of 45 with no repeats. Deselect.

Add Eyecandy 4000 with these settings...(This step can be skipped if you are not animating)

At this point you can add a dropshadow to the frame if you like.

Alright let's add the elements and fonts then we can come back and do the animation part.

C/P element 54. Resize by 50%. Image, Rotate, Free rotate 90 degrees. Position at the bottom of your frame. Duplicate and mirror. Position so they overlap. Merge down. Duplicate and rotate 90 degrees again. Position on the side of the frame. Duplicate and mirror. Position on the other side of the frame.

C/P Candelabra. Resize by 30%. Position in the bottom left of the frame. Dropshadow.

C/P Tombstone. Resize by 30%. Position over the candelabra. Dropshadow.

C/P short candle. Resize by 20%. Dropshadow. Duplicate 2 time for a total of 3. Position over the left part of the bottom of the tombstone at slightly staggered positions.

C/P Realistic skull. Resize by 20%. Dropshadow. Duplicate and position staggered over the right side of the tombstone.

C/P crow. Resize by 60%. Position so the tail is over your skulls. Dropshadow.

C/P angled razorblade. Resize by 20%. Use this to fill in any empty space left from the bird. Dropshadow.

Now for the text. Using the kremlin font type out your lyrics. I used

"It's hard to scream with a throat full of glass" (Yes those are f's LMAO)

Position just slightly under the elements.

Add eyecandy 4000 glass with the same settings as before.

Add Eye candy 4000 gradient glow...

And dropshadow...

Add your copyright and watermark. If you have chosen not to animate and want to skip the background go ahead and add your name using the steps above. If you are animating be sure to CLOSE your name before you start copying into animation shop if you want a blank of your tag.

Go to selections, Select all. Add a new raster layer and move to the bottom. C/P Paper 8 into selection. Deselect.

Alright...Now the fun part.

Select your gradient mirror layer.
Duplicate 9 times for a total of 10. You could always do less frames but the effect will not be as strong. Hide all your frames but the bottom one.
On the bottom mirror layer add AlienSkin Xenophex 2 with the following settings...

Hide bottom layer and open layer 2. Repeat Xenophex 2 but change Tumble to 20 and Time to 10.
Hide layer 2and open layer 3. Repeat Xenophex 2 but change Tumble to 30 and Time to 20.
Hide layer 3and open layer 4. Repeat Xenophex 2 but change Tumble to 40 and Time to 30.

Hide layer 7 and open layer 8. Repeat Xenophex 2 but change Tumble to 80 and Time to 70.
Hide layer 8 and open layer 9. Repeat Xenophex 2 but change Tumble to 90 and Time to 80.
Hide layer 9 and open layer 10. Repeat Xenophex 2 but change Tumble to 100 and Time to 90.
Close layer 10 and open layer 1 again.

Edit, Copy merged. Paste into animation shop.
Close layer 1 and open layer 2. Copy merged and paste into animation shop AFTER current frame.
Close layer 2 and open layer 3. Copy merged and paste into animation shop AFTER current frame.

Close layer 8 and open layer 9. Copy merged and paste into animation shop AFTER current frame.
