007 Nab Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Wow Jake - cool new effect - how did you manage to get it to curve?? I can't figure it out! is it all hand done, or did you use things such as Gaussian or some sort of distort? I can't wait until you release some info...

jake2k Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Here's another: Still working on getting it right Quote ^Click to visit my Flickr Gallery^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Use alpha mask to get smoother bubbles instead of elipse select tool, still awesomofantastic ;D Quote - My Gallery | My Deviant - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake2k Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 There was some heavy use of the alpha mask plugin on this piece I can assure you, but to save time I just made one big bubble and copy/pasted then resized them so thats why there kinda jaggy Quote ^Click to visit my Flickr Gallery^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 After resized, center the bubble, a touch of radial blur (default) will smooth the jaggy edges. Quote All creations Ash + Paint.NET [ Googlepage | deviantArt | Club PDN | PDN Fan ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Power Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Ha, trapped ok, I'm going xDNever thought of radial blur to smoothen edges, thanks a lot Quote - My Gallery | My Deviant - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jake2k Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 I used to use radial blur all the time but if I really wanted them to be smooth I would have just made an ellipse outline around the edge of em Quote ^Click to visit my Flickr Gallery^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

007 Nab Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I see you applied many elements from your tut to achieve it - what's "A L" stand for? Kinda looks like a really sweet arrow too, great job on the concept, I like it Quote "pyrochild, you're my favorite person ever. We should go snowboarding some time."~ 007 Nab. Ish.
