Hellfire010 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 I can't excactly say I'm entirely new to PDN, nor am I very experienced, however. I started out learning most of the the program myself, then recently (couple months ago) discovered this site and tried out some tutorials. I didn't get everything right but I pretty much did ok with those. So! What I'm asking for is perhaps a challenge that a 'semi-newbie' can handle. I'm just looking to test my skills, see what i can do, and perhaps learn some useful skills along the way. Remember, I know the basics, a few advanced things, but not so much the super-advanced things. All ideas are appreciated! :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellfire010 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Hmm... That looks interesting, I think I'll try it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 It is sort of hard, pick a visualization from a music program, windows media makes ones that can be easily used for this. I've done this, yes it is possible. You take the visualization, and try to recreate it best you can with paint.Net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire010 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 I think I'll try the windows media player design thing tomorrow, I have to go to bed n stuff now... As for the Bliss alteration, I sort of rushed but here's a preview of what I've done so far: Click Here The only thing I want to fix right now is the background, its sort of dull.

Leif Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Now, that is really great work. I recognize a couple of things from the tutorial section. And maybe, there is some inspiration. Thanks for posting it. Quote My DA: http://leif-j.deviantart.com/ -------------- Some people seek justice so persistent, that they will do great injustice themselves.

Hellfire010 Posted September 27, 2006 Author Share Posted September 27, 2006 Well I did get an idea for the background, so heres the finished version. HERE Yeah, I used a lot of ideas from the tutorials ________________________________________________________ As for the media visual thing, it doesn't look much like the first one... but its interesting. Thanks for the ideas! Original My Recreation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaveN Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Nice, I did a really complex one, actually touched it up in photoshop, looked almost the same as the original, but I can't seem to find it on any of my computers. One thing about the bliss is the line from the night sky and the grass, kind of messy, not real important, just something I noticed. an easy way to outline it is to take the line tool, then curve it to match the curves of the line, then paint above it and select then fill in background, maybe blur 1 or 2 pixels on that edge too.

RaveN Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I can't. I hope I didn't delete it while I was reformatting, I miss some stuff when I backup on CD's sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire010 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Lol ^ And yeah, RaveN, I saw that too but like I said I sort of rushed it cause I was about to leave for something so, yeah : P As for the musical image thing, ehh didn't do so great on it but I like it anyway : P , and I'm not too fond of photoshop so... yeah :\ Also, you'll notice I didn't line it up even close to the original. That's cause I was just messing with styles to see what I could do to make each part look like it. Something... ^^ I was going to do a radial blur on that frosted glass wave looking thing to give it that curvy-ness, but even 1 px messed it up too much... so I didn't do that o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illnab1024 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Why'd you reformat? I got a 200Gig drive two mos. ago, and I have filled both partitions halfway...I am a messy packrat even on the computer (I just tidy up my desktop, by cramming into folders called Mexican Cleaning...)

barkbark00 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Hey Raven, I found your visualization remake in the "Pictorium"...you know that place where people post stuff they made in PDN. I like how you again posted something in the PDN forum and tried to pass it off as 100% PDN (notice the lack of a desription??), when more than likely(considering its you!) it was done mostly in Photoshop... http://paintdotnet.12.forumer.com/viewtopic.php?p=10937#10937 Quote  Take responsibility for your own intelligence. 😉 -Rick Brewster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Man Dan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Barkbark00, I have 3 problems with that remark: 1. That's very harsh and cutting. 2. You're making assumptions without sufficient input. RaveN has only posted one PS image thusfar, as far as I'm aware. 3. You should check dates. RaveN's Vis re-make was posted 8-11-2006. RaveN announced the acquisition of PhotoShop nearly a month later on 9-04-2006.

barkbark00 Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 CMD, maybe you missed this... Nice, I did a really complex visualization, actually touched it up in photoshop, looked almost the same as the... If you look at the post in the "Pictorium" he says nothing about "touching it up" in PS. That admission alone is justification for my comment.

Crazy Man Dan Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 There's nowhere, however, that says that the post in the Pictorium is the one to which RaveN was referring. RaveN said he was unable to find the visualization on his computer, not on the forum. I myself make many images in other programs for my own use, then lose them in my complex folder structure (you know, with folder names like thing, thingy, and thing2... :wink:). Anyway, here I'm a moderator and I'm the one leading the topic off topic . Regardless, there is never any "justification" for being rude.

Hellfire010 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Yeah well... thanks for the ideas, lol. I think its creative to use multiple programs for your creations, though I like paint.NET the best (so far). Anyway, no single program can have EVERYTHING, so I don't see why it matters if you use photoshop as well, unless you claim otherwise.

RaveN Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I did a different one in paint.net and touched it up in photoshop to make it look more real. And I didn't say anything about touching that one I posted in pictorum, I didn't even know how to use photoshop then, I just got it like the begnining of this month. Sorry to bring this back, I don't like being accused of something like that. And most of the implications you have made so far are all wrong, at least the ones about me. And for the record, I have only posted ONE thing on these forums that I have done in photoshop, the rest is purely Paint.NET, so please keep those mean and negative posts to yourself. Also, if you are really up for a challenge, try recreating something from a battery visualization, or something from itunes visualizations. I personally feel that recreating those brings out all my skills in paint.net. Sorry for bringing the negativeness back once again. Just my input, seeing I was being attacked.

Hellfire010 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I think I'm going to try to recreate another battery thing ^ This time i'll take more time to get it better-like. ______________________________________________________ Ok, so I decided to do a simple one for practice... and I was way off as far as thickness of the lines go...

RaveN Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 I think it is very close. To get that lined effect, try doing this, kind of hard, and you can do it a lot easier, but you won't get the same effect. Make a new document i pixel high and 2 wide, color one pixel black and keep one white, then on your recreation, make a new layer, photo flood fill it with that small 1x2 document and then adjust your blending mode to get those line like effects.

Hellfire010 Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 I'd go do that but my friend accidently deleted the pics (including .pdn version) so all i have is the flat image from photobucket... -.- I think I'm going to try something other than Visualization Recreations... : P But as for now... I'ma go do the dishes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
