kasperow Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 This picture shows what will be made: First, make a new sheet (I used the default 800/600). Start out by making a nebulous (Effects -> textures -> Nebulous). Use the Color Tint effect (Effects -> Color -> Color Tint) at any hue and saturation (just make sure that your nebulous only has one color in different nuances) (I used hue 133 and saturation 255). Use the Color Filter effect (Effects -> Color -> Color Filter) at hue 312, saturation 255 and 'preserve highlights' at 100. Use the Frosted Glass effect (Effects -> Distort -> Frosted Glass) at any value you see fit. (I used 25 and 5 for max. and min. values) Then, use the TwistZ with Zoom effect (Effects -> Distort -> TwistZ with Zoom) at amount 30 and zoom 30. The other values at default. Now, if done right, you should have something that looks like a wave of water or tsunami (at least that's what I had at this moment). Finish of your fireball by using the Fire! effect (Effects -> Render -> Fire!). There you go, you've now made a Fireball (or something that looks like a fireball at least). Please let me know what you think of this tutorial. It's the first one I've ever written so I'd like some feedback. If the pictures are not shown, please let me know and tell me how I can make them visible, using the pictures on my deviantart account. There's a fine line between luck and skills. I just can't see where I put it.
TopHATslash Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Whoa. I really like this. It might not be very long, but the outcome is awesome.
rtargo20 Posted December 9, 2008 Posted December 9, 2008 Nice Tut. Very easy to follow, short and always learn new things from every tut. I can see a lot of possibilities with this. Here's mine... Is it me --or do buffalo wings taste like chicken?
Samness! Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 The 'Nebulous' tool is obviously a plugin - could you please provide a link to all of the plugins that are used?
kasperow Posted December 10, 2008 Author Posted December 10, 2008 Sure thing. As far as I know, nebolous, color tint and color filter are default in 3.36. TwistZ with zoom can be found here. Fire! can be found here. If some the other three effects aren't default pdn3.36 effects, let me know. There's a fine line between luck and skills. I just can't see where I put it.
Minoeman Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Sorry to break it to ya, but nebulous is not default in 3.36. I can't find it anywhere. I also tried search but there isn't anything that has the word "Nebulous" except this thread. Could someone point out the direction of it? if it even exists... We should all be...

david.atwell Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 It's not. I have Ed Harvey's pack, and Nebulous is not one of them. The Doctor: There was a goblin, or a trickster, or a warrior... A nameless, terrible thing, soaked in the blood of a billion galaxies. The most feared being in all the cosmos. And nothing could stop it, or hold it, or reason with it. One day it would just drop out of the sky and tear down your world.Amy: But how did it end up in there?The Doctor: You know fairy tales. A good wizard tricked it.River Song: I hate good wizards in fairy tales; they always turn out to be him.
Curmudgeon Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 Nebulous is part of Madjik's plugin pack
Minoeman Posted December 10, 2008 Posted December 10, 2008 I just viewed Madjik's plug in pack. It wasn't there We should all be... Alive... ......................................... ......................................... |Lightning|My Dome|Pokemon sig tut|
Curmudgeon Posted December 11, 2008 Posted December 11, 2008 ehh, wrong answer I just opened his zip file from the page and it clearly shows Nebulous inside
Dark Thoughts Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I'm missing something here... I'm good until I render fire. When I do, it appears as the usual curtain of flame instead of twisting around the highlights. How do I correct it?
PyroTechniques Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 Change the blending mode to Overlay, maybe? Photobucket Sucks!
kasperow Posted December 19, 2008 Author Posted December 19, 2008 I didn't have to change the blend mode at any point. Did you do exactly as written, there shouldn't be any problem. Otherwise, I don't know how your problem could exist. If you just have the 'tsunami' you shouldn't have to change anything at all. Just use the Fire! plugin, that's all. There's a fine line between luck and skills. I just can't see where I put it.
Dark Thoughts Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 I followed each step making sure that I did what was listed above using all of the appropriate plugins. I get to this stage and everything looks fine... Then I select Effects > Render > Fire... and leave it at the default settings and get this..
Vicory Posted December 19, 2008 Posted December 19, 2008 You said to go to Effects-Colors-Color tent or something like that, I don't have color tent. Can you give us the links to the downloads (.ddl files or .zip files) Please!!!! ----- Anyway very nice tutorial very easy to follow---so far. ~Vicory~
kasperow Posted January 7, 2009 Author Posted January 7, 2009 For those who don't have color tint, follow this link Then, follow the link on the top to get the newest version of the Plug-in pack where I found Color Tint. There's a fine line between luck and skills. I just can't see where I put it.
Yt27 Posted January 10, 2009 Posted January 10, 2009 Very easy, simple tut with a nice outcome. Heres my stab at it: “We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell”
Chris_Rulez Posted January 12, 2009 Posted January 12, 2009 Can't this be done by using the fire-effect and twist? EDIT: This is what I got with The fire effect and twist: Perhaps not exactly the same, But pretty close. The post above probably has crappy art.. Just look past that
Tramojo Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Great tut, nice and simple! Perhaps not exactly the same, But pretty close. How is that close? I'm sorry, but it really does not look like the same thing. 1 Super Nova|Tramojo's Fire|My gallery
Chris_Rulez Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Great tut, nice and simple! Perhaps not exactly the same, But pretty close. How is that close? I'm sorry, but it really does not look like the same thing. Well, it is pretty close, Got the fire look and a twist, I mean my way isn't as fuzzy, But its still nice Pretty nice outcome either way, So I suppose you can use any way, But I can't find the Neboulous or whatever plugin :shock: The post above probably has crappy art.. Just look past that
Boude Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 nebulous is in madjik's package. History repeats itself, because nobody was paying attention the first time.
Chris_Rulez Posted January 15, 2009 Posted January 15, 2009 nebulous is in madjik's package. Oh Okay, I'll check it out and maybe download it.. The post above probably has crappy art.. Just look past that
Malazar Posted February 2, 2009 Posted February 2, 2009 excellent job kasperow! Here is my go with using some of my tutorial, which can be found here.
