Looking For A Specific Lower Third Style...

Can you help?

I am looking for something that looks like blood splatter that has been desaturated somewhat with blacks, grays and whites on torn linen or similar mixed in the background with torn bits extending out past the main portion of it.

Anybody got any ideas? I need it as SD 4:3 @29.97fps.

Thanks.

I don't know where you could find what you're looking for off the shelf but you could try building it in Vegas.

This site http://www.cgtextures.com/ has a big library of textures including fabric and splatters for free if you can't grab a camera and shoot your own. Starting with that Vegas has some nifty tools such as displacement and bump maps that might get you what you want. Doing this kind of stuff with Vegas is a great way to learn the toolset while having some fun.

Thanks Bob. I will check out the link you provided and if it comes down to it, I just may have to build my own (however, I am under some time restraints).

Bob,

Thanks again for the link. That is a great site with a great licensing system!

You just made my day. I wish I would have known about that site sooner.

I agree, great resource, Bob. Awfully cool of the site owner to offer so many high quality textures for free.
