arvindrajayadav Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I need help in creating action lines. They are lines usually used in manga (or scott pilgrim) which converge towards an imaginary point in the center. Here's an example : I found a tutorial for photoshop, but I can't figure out the alternative steps for PDN. I am using gradient bars to make the lines, but no effect in Distort works for me. [Link to tutorial] Any help would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manc Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Try Zoom Blur and Zoom blur deluxe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance McKnight Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Very easy to do in PDN. Pryochild's Gradient Bars with default color. Polar Transformation set to Rectangle to Polar, set scale to 200. Repeat if needed. New layer. Draw ellipse with fill color option enabled. Gaussian blur very high setting (I used 100). Merge down. Grim Reaper to kill white color instantly. Done. Edit: Background is actually transparent, forgot to add an effect to make it so. But it'll give you the idea how to do that.

Will use that myself for abstracts. Edited February 12, 2011 by ipswichmanc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arvindrajayadav Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 Thank you Lance and Ipswitchmanc, the tutorial worked perfectly. I just started off with one color transparent in the gradient bars, so i didn't need to remove the white color in the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 @yellowman's tutorial on 3D abstract shapes might be of interest. You can find it here: Make cool abstracts Oh EDIT! That's not what you're looking for is it? Those 3D shapes start in the centre and fly out, not converge in.
