you need a webserver, then you need php, or some other language that can write stuff into an image... after that, you write a script which does what you want...

got the idea from this wp.. http://www.deviantart.com/view/1521387/ decided i wanted to try to make it myself... Any comments would be appreciated :)

You will probably need a database to do all that; (in my opinion, preferably mysql)..

I just wanted to point out that in sweden, you can get 3dsmax7 with a student license for ~ 1 100 crowns, which is around $160.

Dynamic sigs are actually quite complex. For mine, i use PHP and the extension gd.. For you to actually print the highscores, the script will have to load the runescape highscore page, and then sort out what doesn't belong on the picture, and lastly add it to an already existing picture.. Here are a few examples. (Pretty self-explaining) (The country you live in rocks!)

Yea i'll just fly to whatever country you're in and take some course.. Anyways, even if you manage to model it, rendering it to look photo-realistic is very hard.

i'd like to see you even make something near as good as that.. I model quite alot in 3dsmax, i can tell you it sure as hell aint easy making stuff like that. (not just the modeling but the textures and the lighting is also unbelievably hard)

it sure looks real as hell..

ah, that actually wasn't the finished one here's the finished one:

I was surfing around a swedish cg-forum when i came across this: .. wow! I can't believe how real it looks.. It's just like a photo.. Incredibly amazing.. The artist of this thing is appearantly some girl named Linda.

what program and what renderer?

too big sig.

Yay! :D

Din sig ÃÆÃâÃâär ungefÃÆÃâÃâär 300 ggr fÃÆÃâÃâör stor.. Ta bort den, annars blir du nog varnad av en mod (Your sig is around 300 times too big.. Delete it, or you'll probably be warned by a mod)

wow, you were right.. worked on another forum.. Oh well, the .htaccess way works fine.. :P

ya, i tried that too but came up with a much simpler solution.. index.php?whatever.jpg works fine.

Sorry if I seemed harsh when I said that.. It looks really nice :)

No offense, but there's quite a bit of difference between making a picture and actually modeling it in 3d.

2-ish

ill take that as a yes.

:)

I did it in php.. Here's the code. <?php header("Content-type: image/png"); include('mysql.php'); $link = mysql_connect("xxx", $user, $pass) or die(mysql_error()); mysql_select_db('xxx') or die("Could not select database"); $im = @imagecreate(300, 50) or die("Cannot Initialize new GD image stream"); $background_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 255, 255); $text_color = imagecolorallocate($im, 255, 128, 0); $ip = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']; $query = "SELECT country FROM iptoc WHERE ipFrom<=inet_aton('$ip') AND ipTo>=inet_aton('$ip')"; $result = mysql_query($query); $line = mysql_fetch_array($result); if ($line['country'] == "") $country = "n/a"; else $country = $line['country']; $ord = explode(" ", $line['country']); $i = 0; $country = ''; while ($i <= count($ord) - 1) { $country .= ucfirst(strtolower($ord[$i])) . " "; $i++; } imagestring($im, 20, 25, 15, $country . "rocks!", $text_color); imagepng($im); imagedestroy($im); mysql_close($link); ?>

I'm just wondering.. Are they allowed.. Like, earlier today i made one which states "country rocks!", where the country is the country the user is in.. I'm wondering.. You could have a, "this sig has been viewed xx times." Peksa.
