I would like to sign my creations, and for that I would like to have a good default signature that looks hand made or be really hand made... So guys, how do you do your signature?

Thanks in Advance

hmm well, maybe you could use a nice thick black 'Sharpie' type magic marker, sign your name on a
clean white sheet of paper a couple times; Pick the best one,
scan it to an image, then you can trim it. Then you can make this an alpha map, I think,
so the white background can be 'invisible', and the signature can be changed to whatever color you want.

Why not use trueSpace? Just use the text tools and create your own custom
signature.

I use Paint Shop Pro and a vector text item. It uses regular fonts and is not hand written. You could do that with a hand written signature as Froo said.

You could make a 3D one in TS like Steinie's but using your own hand written signature. Scan your signature from paper. Use as a texture on a plane in TS. Use the 2D shape tools to outline the letters. Then bevel or such to make it 3D.

My best 2d vector tool for trueSpace is Adobe illustrator 10. I export an illustrator 7 file witch can be imported in trueSpace without problem. curve in illustrator 7 file need to be closed and without outline. More recent illustrator soft can't export a version 7 file. It is why I use the old version 10.
