Hard Stone; Crumpled Paper; Burning Coals + Planet Texture!
indie88 replied to indie88's topic in Tutorial Graveyard
Huh, that actually looks pretty good! Especially the ower blocks Comments, anyone else? Mega-edit: Just realised you don't need 5 seperate cloud layers with 'difference blending', just use "Difference" on Blend Mode in the settings as you Render > Clouds! -
This tutorial is extremely simple and can be used as a starting point for many many things including: [*:zv431f0e] Hard Stone Texture [*:zv431f0e] Realistic Crumpled Paper Texture [*:zv431f0e] Burning Coals [*:zv431f0e] Planet Textures All of these require the basic 'Clouds' plugin. #1 Smooth (Chalk) Stone/Realistic Paper [*:zv431f0e] Open a new Image (Size is up to you) [*:zv431f0e] Effects > Render > Clouds (Default Values) [*:zv431f0e] New Layer --> Render Clouds [*:zv431f0e] Change this layer's Blending Mode to "Difference" [*:zv431f0e] Add 4 or 5 layers total with Clouds and "Difference" Blending (Don't Duplicate) [*:zv431f0e] Flatten the image (Ctrl-Shift-F) [*:zv431f0e] Duplicate this layer TWICE [*:zv431f0e] Emboss the first Duplication (Stylize > Emboss) to around 45 Degrees (to the lower right), then lower the brightness all the way down (Adjustments > Brightness + Contrast) [*:zv431f0e] Set this layer's Blending Mode to "Overlay" [*:zv431f0e] Emboss the second duplication to around 135 degrees (top left!), and heighten the brightness all the way up. Set this layer's blending to "Overlay" too. [*:zv431f0e] For a PAPER or smoother rock texture REMOVE THE BOTTOM (un-embossed) LAYER and change colours or pick a layer as you feel necessary Crumpled Paper (Or Chalk) Light Rock #2 Hard Rock/Super Realistic Planet Texture [*:zv431f0e] At this point you will have 3 layers (Clouds, White Emboss, Black Emboss) [*:zv431f0e] For an amazingly easy hand-made planet texture, try colourising (Tint or Filter/Swap) the White layer to blue, and the Black layer to green. [*:zv431f0e] This can then easily be used with Shape 3D to make a realistic planet (You'll probably want to re-emboss them following the steps above) [*:zv431f0e] As you can see, greyscale, this looks like a hard volcanic rock texture and looks pretty 3D! If the white areas are TOO white just play around with the brightness of the white layer. [*:zv431f0e] To get a more natural looking rock colour, use Curves or Curves+ (Adjustments > Curves) on the top (white layer) and play around with the lines ( I recommend less green and blue and more red - this will get you a nice brown) [*:zv431f0e] To get a 'Burning Coal' texture, use Curves on the bottom "Cloud" layer and ramp up the red! Hard Rock Planet Texture Burning Coals Remember to work with the colours and this simple process can take you a long, long way! Indie PS: Had a quick look and couldn't find anything similar (or, IMO, as good!), hopefully this can help some people, this is something I've discovered myself and am very happy with the (many!) results PPS: I still can't beleive how this can be SOOOO simple and so versatile! EDIT: My apologies. Imageshack is .

Old SOTW discussion thread *depricated*
indie88 replied to jake2k's topic in Paint.NET Discussion and Questions
I definately think we SHOULDN'T have it as abstract, or as an astract theme in the slightest. I want boundries, damnit! :shock: -
I know i should be using serach, but i'm in a rush, and the search here is the most useless thing i've ever encountered. Can someone provide me with links to the above, and suggest any other "Advanced" sort of things?

A touch of glow might help the finished product, too. Some of the blurs in selected areas might be useful too.

This is an "Oil Painting" i made. The actual face that i "based" it on is from this Stock Image (Large Image) Click for bigger version (Roughly double size) Definately worth viewing closer to see detail.. Need an idea for the left side of the pic NOTE: This is not the result of clicking "Effects>Oil Painting", It's all by hand. -

My latest sig pic. Need to move onto bigger things. dA sucks, i don't think i can upload my sig pics, copyright and stuff The images i use are on about 100 results on google Source Images: Angelina Jolie's Lips, who else?! Pills Background Image Song Lyrics: Kill Hannah - Lips Like Morphine: 2nd Verse, Lines 1 & 2 Comments? I still feel it's a tiny bit rough, but it's a big bother to get the colours right to blend in. Plus there are 11 layers there because i messed up the blend mode and colour. Need to get used to it still. -

A background I made for some text following a few tutorials^ A realistic night sky effect glow & gradient test. A quick, comic game-y sig testing blurs for distance effect. Repost, sorry. -

Olav, I know this is a bit off-topic, but i really like your Avatar! The top of your glass test tubey thing needs a little work to attach it to the middle... bit. Lol. @Ve[...]dewd: I like the middle orb, and the bit of texture in the very bottom left corner -

@ncfan51: I quite like it. It's a bit big, to say there's little detail, and I'd say the paintbrush needed something extra, but all in all, It's a nice effect. Is that "just" "Oil Painting" and a gradient? Also, please comment on mine -

Those are the last images i made, the most recent like 20 minutes ago, for a Hurt/Heal game in the Trash RTS Official Forum The next proper project i undertake will be a detailed planet, SoZo-style, and i think i have a good grasp of "How to", so here's hoping! -

To be honest, I'd prefer something that wasn't a computer App. Something from real life would be much more fun. -
