Plastic Wrap

[Sharp]

I was following a Photoshop tutorial today, and they used a plastic wrap effect. Here's an example of what it does... example... How would I go about replicating this in PDN?

[Goonfella]

I needed to replicate the same effect to do this orange slice from a PS tut-

In the end I used clouds - default settings

Dents - scale 21, amount 30, the rest default

Heightfield - bumpiness 8.78

Adjust to black and white

Layer setting reflect.

Colour as needed.

It would be nice to have plastic wrap in the effects though.

Hope this helps.

Render clouds, set mode to difference. Render again on same layer. Invert colours. Mess around with some Levels, Brightness/Contrast, Curves +. Just an idea of the top of my head. Haven't tested it.

:idea:

two layers of your image.

top edges set at additive and then polar and distorted using buldges etc.

a few other things were done here but I don't recall. but it was definetly additive and edges.

Do you have a link to the height field plugin? I can't find it.

Oma: Can you explain a little more? I'm confused.

means I've been working on a consistant method for getting good looking plastic wrap for over a year. and its like trying to do glass, method is one time good next time same steps yield nada! its something I'd also want as a plugin.

for now the closest I've gotten was that picture I posted. go look at the larger version on my gallery (think its page 3)

that's what I managed so far. but as I say steps work sometimes, sometimes not.

I have to agree there!

Sharp - I think this was the one -

When it`s downloaded it should be called `Heightfield to Normal Map'.

I also found this one which seems to do a similar thing but with more options in the GUI.-

Havn`t tried this one myself though. Not needed it so far.
