lichking21st Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 Hey uh, does anyone know of some way I could make iridescent (animal) fur? I'm quite at a loss about what to do. I haven't really had that much experience image editing, so looking for some help. It's for this guy here: http://fav.me/d4r518q Thanks ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jim100361 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 (edited) I'm not sure whatyou mean by "iridescent", but there is a tutorial at the link below which may provide you some information that you seek for making fur/grass and the like: http://forums.getpai...irfurgrasseasy/ Also, a member recently did a cat image and further in his gallery he mentions what he did (though not specifically a tutorial). That may give you a little insight as well: http://forums.getpai...ruit-2-25-2012/ Good luck Edited February 28, 2012 by jim100361 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lichking21st Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 Jim, that fur tutorial helped quite a lot, I've more or less got the effect I desired. I mean iridescence like this See how the fur's color varies depending on the amount of light that hits it and the angle it gets hit at? (Some carpets have iridescence as well, mine does) Another example would be: So basically what I found: The fur tutorial to make the iridescent furs, a gradient bar to add in the appearance of a smooth colour change, and another gradient to get rid of the iridescent fur where it is not wanted.
