Because of this, the effect is often looked down upon. Some, however, pioneer new ways of thinking about polar inversion, seeing it as not a means to a quick "abstract", but as a key to their creativity. That is your mission this week - impress those Polar Inversion Intrepids with your creative Polar Inversion application.

oma Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 ok so I'm happy 90% with this one. Of course I know the downfall will be the font I totally just am not good at picking them correctly but this is what I've got so far. (PS here I've still the PDN so if anyone can suggest a bette looking one let me know and I'll actually change it for the forum font. about this #13 week sig of the week. It was sure hard to condense that lovely polar down to this ittty bitty size of a sig but I like the looks of the flower image .

david.atwell Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 No source; 100% Paint.NET. Polar Inversion, Twist, recoloring, gradients, transparency... A veritable tour de force! But I present thee with mine humble entry: Zap! Â 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistress-gaia Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 This is mine. I did a lot of polar inversions on a mandlebrot fractal plug-in and then used the water reflection plug-in. It was hard b/c I made 4 different sigs for this and couldn't decide which one to put on here. "All that we are is a result of what we have thought. The mind is everything, what we think we become."

Andrew D Posted January 8, 2008 Share Posted January 8, 2008 After looking through my old Polar Inversion works, I decided instead of trying to re-use one of my old pics, that I would try and remake this wallpaper, which was made using Polar Inversion. This is the picture: Polar Invert Wallpaper Here is my finished result: The only stock image I used for this is the wallpaper I linked above, and was full made by me. Everything in this sig apart from the plug-in's and fonts used are made by me. Estimated time about half an hour, I had a pretty good idea of what I wanted when I started.
