Goonfella Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 New Impact on P1 Finished at last! I tried the shockwave but I prefer it without one. The lens flare helps to create that effect anyway. Hope you like. It`s all PDN apart from the main planet and a couple of starfield brushes which I used because they are better than any starfield I could make.

HELEN Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 It's so breathtaking. I even heard some space music......or wait....was I just imagining? Nice job!!!

Goonfella Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Yes you did hear music - the theme tune to 2001 - A Space Odyssey.Have a listen to one of the most awesome pieces of music ever- http://www.palantir.net/2001/sounds.html Oh and thanks for the compliment. :wink: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I'm gonna sound a fool saying this.. but i don't like it. i mean, its good, but you've done better. [*:36sasewa]Theres not much atmosphere, or colour in the space. Its too unsaturated. Saturate it. Now. [*:36sasewa]Starfield is good, needs size variation though. The brushes look out of place too.. [*:36sasewa]Nebulae looks out of place. You don't have to add a nebulae in every spacescape, sometimes even a good nebulae can ruin a good spacescape.[*:36sasewa]The collision is bleagh.. most of it is just white.. needs colour!!! White should be the center though, where they collide. Sparks in the collison dont look good. They're straight. If you want sparks, use pyro's random shape fill plugin, blur some areas, and then erase where you dont want the sparks to be. It'll look much better. [*:36sasewa]Lens flare is ok. Good attempt at making one, but the piece would look much better if you used a stock for a lens flare. Its good to try and make everything in PDN, but if trying to make everything in PDN makes your work look good, and could be bettered with a stock, use a stock. I suggest you work on this piece some more. It looks like it could be awesome. KIU. I'm sorry if i sounded a bit too harsh, but no pain no gain, eh?

Goonfella Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 So you don`t like it eh? That`s a shame. Well I did say it was my first attempt at a collision in space so instead of reworking this one I`ll keep what you said in mind for the next one ( how could I forget! ) Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Thanks . At least that`s something I`ve done right! Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance McKnight Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Goonie, I think your space scene looks good except for one minor detail. The collision looks white washed. Maybe tone it down a bit. I gotta agree with LFC that the splatter looks too straight. *winces at LFC's words* He may be right. Don't give up, keep working on it. Like I said before, the force is flowing through you. *cues music* Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goonfella Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks . Take a look at Impact Mk2 and see what you think. Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LFC4EVER Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Well, i got your PM and thought i'd just comment here: This version I do like. Better atmosphere, and the collision looks much better. The sparks are still a little bit weird though, they need to spread out more, instead of having them come out like a rotated "V". Maybe get some chalk brushes and smudge the explosion a bit, to roughen it up a tad. Overall it looks much better! So, all thats left to say now is KIU.

Goonfella Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Hooraay! Your right about the sparks though. It`s something I seem to be struggling with at the moment. BTW - sorry to sound dopey but what does `KIU' mean? Got it - KEEP IT UP! So obvious. :oops: Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goonfella Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thanks very much. It was this tut I was trying to follow- http://psdtuts.com/tutorials/drawing/fi ... -tutorial/ I`d feel guilty if I did not mention it, and let you think it was ALL my work. Interpreting the PS tut was tricky at times though . Quote Please feel free to visit my Gallery on PDNFans And my Alternatives to PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 It's really, really good.

Interpreting the PS tut was tricky at times though . Yeah, it's tough to do PS tuts when we don't have blending options like they do. The only way around it is to make a new layer and try to duplicate the blending options. Your picture are getting better. Quote Officially retired from this forum. Have a nice day.

Goonfella Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 There were so many layers involved with this pic that PDN started to slow down! Towards the end I had to be careful or it would have frozen. Rendering times took longer, moving bits around became a case of move a little bit, wait, move some more, wait again and so on. It`s probably down to the weedy T2080 CPU in this laptop. Glad you like it though.

HELEN Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 The most layers I've gone to so far, were about 50-60. I try to keep my layers to the minimum because my computer will work slower than a snail. Keep in mind that your work is a pleasure to look at.

Goonfella Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Remembered a tip I read on these forums about making the image slightly bigger then resizing it down to help smooth off the edges so I`ve done that with the Media Player and I think it looks better for it. Out of interest - which song would you have on it? Something soppy for Valentines?

Lance McKnight Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Outstanding job following a ps tut and converting them to PDN.

Goonfella Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 One Line Abstract One of my rare, and not very good attempts at abstract art. Called `One Line' because this image started out as a single,black vertical line on a transparent background. Just shows what you can do with a few twists and turns here and there.
