Some background methods?

Hey I was just wondering how other people make their backgrounds

I usually just use a gradient, then a circular warp, or I keep the gradient then find a good fractal that has some good depth.

Like on this one:



I just added this fractal over the gradient:

It's simple, you k.

Omg that old fractal It was one of the first ones I downloaded, when started GFXing... Have ya been reading same tuts as me?

At least you're getting better!

Thanks :D much better than my first one :3

I normally use a High Quality Jpeg or something

Making a background from scratch takes time, while you can google a wallpaper suitable for your render and use it, for a better result.

Ive tried a lot of things, like for the SOTW I used a render with the colors I wanted and then turned it and added some motion blur and it looks quite nice.

It depends on what render you're using.

Use a stock and spam c4ds. Best method ever. (jk lol)
