(ie: pixel length of blur, % of noise , if any). :wink: ----------------------------------- Amailer Thu May 27, 2004 8:34 pm ----------------------------------- just simple noise effect first then i motion blured it.. i forgot how much but enough so i don't lose all the details. I used the brightness and contrast to get the colour of the metal effect and i forgot the other thing... i think that's it lol
