Hi:

I have a question concerning 2 things.

1 - I am trying to set up a visualisation for a player and I wasnt something like the one on the new 2advanced site. ([www.2advanced.com](http://www.2advanced.com)). Anyone know how to do this?

2- I am trying to achieve a grunge effect, exaclty like the one on this site. The last time I put a post, people replied play around with this and that so please reply only if you ahve tried the effect and it works. Links to tutorials / step by step explanation will be greatly appreciated. ([http://www.bacardidj.com/entry.aspx](http://www.bacardidj.com/entry.aspx))

Thanks

look up at the top of this forum is a sticky post with a bunch of tuts…and they all have grunge tuts. The visualization was done with a 3d proggy…flash motion tweens and I believe a 3d exported to quiktime and imported into flash…OH WAIT I see what you mean (nevermind the other part I thought you were speaking of the water scene)…that is a photoshop effect with a bunch of tweens (alpha that is)

are you talking about the background grunge? if so a step by step thing isnt needed. just get some grunge brushes and click them around (maybe lower the opacity first).

there is a paper brush set on Adobe Studo Exchange that would work well for this. [http://share.studio.adobe.com/Default.asp](http://share.studio.adobe.com/Default.asp)

hope that helps
