Since this forum seems to be all types of tutorials, I'll contribute mine. These are simple techniques for signatures/graphics:

The only problem I see with the first one is that you're expecting users to already have and know how to use Cinema4D. Chances are, users don't have this program much less know how to use it.

Other than that, they all look fantastic! Keep up the great work!

No pwn....C4Ds can be downloaded everywhere :hrmm:

Even though C4D does stand for Cinema4D, when it comes to sigs, it's basically the 3d things.

But I honestly don't find these kinds of sigs attractive anymore. I like the clean ones now.

I remember the days when sigs were covered in grunge brushes, scan lines and gloss using the elliptical tool :hrmm:

C4Ds can be downloaded from places like deviantART, and here: http://planetrenders.net/renders/ Most people don't make their own C4Ds.

All the C4Ds I've seen and used were made in Cinema 4D, and there's fractals (Made in Apophysis), which are used for a different purpose.

The second signature is grunge itself, but not using such obviously cheap/bad effects, but still very simple/novice, and not nice. I don't use those techniques anymore.
