AmazeMe Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 Ok, here's the end product (click for larger image): I have a 1280X800 version, but Photobucket won't allow anything that large, for whatever reason. Not quite sure what to call it yet, any ideas? Wow this is outstanding!!! Now how about something ridiculously simple like "WindowMac" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJXD Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 That's looking really good LJXD! I would displace the shadow of the pole by saving the snow texture as a png and then running Alpha Displacement on displacement. I'll do that. Thanks for your help man LJXD thats impressive. just with the shadow, try to put a small ball on top like the "snowthing" has. texture is wonderful. keep it up, snow's going really well too! I totally forgot about the ball, thanks Quote |My Sig Tut| Deviant Art |Advanced Grunge Texture|My Gallery The Birthplace of Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stealthed Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I tried making myself a lightsaber, but it kind of failed. That North Pole picture and Christmas Ornament are amazing. Quote My Gallery - viewtopic.php?f=26&t=28172 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LJXD Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Nah its good, if you had a black background a straight light saber it wouldn't look to bad Quote |My Sig Tut| Deviant Art |Advanced Grunge Texture|My Gallery The Birthplace of Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HELEN Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 @LJXD: I really like your snowy image. So peaceful and beautiful. @Topezia: I really like the work you put into your images. Splendid and outstanding work! I visit this part of the forum, but never leave any messages. I'm kind of a mystery viewer. I thought that this might be a good time and say how awesome everybody's work is here aside from the galleries! I don't want to spoil the surprises when I click on someone's gallery and then say, "Oh, I already saw that." I like to keep to keep the images a surprise, but yet, these are just too good to miss.

HELEN Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 barkbark00: It looks so good!! Come on everyone, you know it does. I say that there are three "yesses" to post a tut on your piece. Please?!

007 Nab Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Excellent lightsaber bb00, very realistic metal you've got going on there. You could try one of the curved handles - it'd be a bigger challenge but I think would look very awesome. Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

LFC4EVER Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 Great job bb00 - as always. This time i wouldn't ask for a tut, as it seems simple, but time-consuming to do. I reckon you used Ash's chrome method, a lot of :AlphaChannel: gradients, and a hell of a lot of the line tool . Great job again! Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::.

007 Nab Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The one thing I'm stuck on is the rings towards the top - the ones that physically come out - how did you get them to be some smooth/round?

007 Nab Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 That could definitely be a possibility - makes LFC's comment make more sense Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever.

worldnewser Posted January 1, 2009 Share Posted January 1, 2009 The one thing I'm stuck on is the rings towards the top - the ones that physically come out - how did you get them to be some smooth/round? Or it could've been the rounded rectangle tool :wink: Reminds me a lot of my Rift Manipulator piece, except with better metallic shine.

LJXD Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Wow that is amazing, Top five best pieces on PDN to date. Stunning amazing work, i'd love to see a tut.

Boude Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 @barkbark00:Just to put more presure on you , plz make a tut, I guess even ash could learn a thing or 2 from it.

Thank you! I saw those when I was looking for reference material. They ARE pretty cool, so I MIGHT try making one. Great job bb00 - as always.

Great job again! You may want the tut...lol. I used a different method for the chrome, which I'll show you guys. It's very simple, as was most of this... The one thing I'm stuck on is the rings towards the top - the ones that physically come out - how did you get them to be some smooth/round? I'll include that in the tutorial.

HELEN Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 Oma, the flower is just so splendid and sweet. What kind is it? It looks so beautiful and soft! I like how it looks so real that I want to reach out and pluck it. Awesome job!

oma Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 thanks Helen, its called " Renew " a figment of my imagination. Its the things my dreams are filled with. soft and gentle, lovely flowers. like floating on clouds of happiness. I'm glad you like this one. I'm working on a tut ideas. I'm just waiting to see if there are any changes in the next version before I do final scoot down to beginner level and work on screenshots. I'm still not 100% on the centre portion so if anyone can help me out with more realism in that I'd certainly appreciate. Remember I want to maintain at a true very begginner level. ciao OMA Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oma Posted January 2, 2009 Share Posted January 2, 2009 You've got another fan oma, my daughter was walking past as I was looking at your 'Renew' piece and she said," WOW, that's brilliant, it looks like an angels wings ..."I agree with Helen, you just want to reach in and touch it. It's good to see your leading by example after your New Years Message oh my goodness. I can not beleive she said that about the angel wings, this piece was inspired by a dream I had. It was angels on clouds making flowers from their wing feathers. such a happy floaty dream. I woke up smiling. I hadn't thought I'd fully captured the feeling, can now see that I'm very very close if she recognized that. wow! thanks for letting me know ciao Quote My Deviant Art Gallery Oma's Paint.Net gallery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, i'd love to see a tut for the chrome. Any chance it used Curves+? _________________ oma, fabulous flower! The texture is great too! You're improving a lot at the flowers on PDN. The flower just needs a background to see it better. Quote ☆★☆★Merry Christmas★☆★☆ .::.My Gallery.::.Make Gold Text!.::. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
