OmgWtfBbq Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Woah. This is an amazing effect. First want to say that it looks sort of like a stained glass window in a synagogue And here's mine: I made the curves into a purple/orange hybrid then put it on difference mode. I love it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david.atwell Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Wow, I love how intricate that is when really it isn't all that complicated. I'll be using this, I'm sure! Edit: I created the example almost exactly, then flattened it. Then I duplicated the image, ran the "twist" distortion at 20 and 5 on the top layer and -20 and 5 on the bottom one, then set the blend mode to difference. I thought that looked awesome.

Loaka Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 This was my try. Used david.atwell's idea, with a few other ideas (layer duplication, polar inversion, etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud@s Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Really nice tut MadJik... you can make some great psycodylic 60 styles stuff with it. (note, I used a couple of other steps to get my results as well on these two) the resized version, did everything times 2, and did a negiering layer as well. and my centered version that I did goofing around with your tut (lens & majority plugins for desired effects) btw bbq... yours looks very nice too m8 and awesome work on both david's and loaka's, those were some things I hadnt thought of... gonna give that a try as well next time Quote 100% PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon_Sword Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I love this tutorial ^^ (I messed with some blending options, along with adding a transparent form of the cobble stone tutorial, to get that effect ^^) Nice tutorial!

OmgWtfBbq Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I played around with a few polar inversions and twists just before then set all layer modes to lighten, great stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud@s Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I really got a kick from this tut... and really liked the ideas from david.atwell and loaka, it made me do another try using my green one that I already posted. Here are the end effects... I also added a slight glow effect and if I remember right a slight lins effect as well.

Loaka Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I also added a slight glow effect and if I remember right a slight lins effect as well. I like the effect! How many layers and hex-grids did you use? I used the glow also, but had it set really low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jud@s Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 @ Loaka... I just took the green/blue one I showed in my previous post and duplicated the layers using the same techs as you and david used. I dont remember, but I think I set the rotations a little higher. After flattening, I added a small amount of glow, and I think I did a slight lins effect on it. In the end before saving I opened the layer properties and Curves again and fiddeled around with them untel I got the color effect I thought looked best.

Loaka Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Thanks - what you did gave it a sprocket effect. I see more potential in that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jud@s Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 lol... the potentials from this tut are amazing, I was sitting in front of the tube, my mind wandering because there was nothing really worth watching, and I got to wondering what else I could do with this tut. Needless to say, first thing this moring I opend my PDN and had another go with the effects. Then it hit me like a brick that had fallen from a 4th floor window. I did several versions using the the original tuts results but the one that I like most was when I "borrowed" omgwtfbbq's that he posted. I really liked the way that bbq got his Davids Star to glow slightly in the light rainbow effect, and wanted to see what my idea would do to it. Open effects---> distort---> polar inversions---> settings amount=150, quality=7 Jude, who hopes bbq doesn't mind Quote 100% PDN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
