also added a test character...

sorry for the late reply.

here is the first attempt...using PS.

looks like he's going for it, which is good. anyway, if you get time to look into my itsy-bitsy character requirement, please read further. 1) a character that can be animated by a music score, classical and contemporary. 2) a unique character, along the lines of popeye, bugs bunny, daffy, elmer fud...

ganete, may i make a suggestion?

you could try doing a candle light effect using particles in your next demo.

i have no clue how that works, though.

very nice. i'm impressed.

if you make it affordable, i just might buy them.

i'm serious.

though, you will have to make these characters come to life.

remember, i'm only a hobbyist. not a big company who has deep pocket.

I have a few bits of knowledge in basic color, that may be the reason why Art Lozzy is easy to comprehend. But those who use advanced or unorthodox color schemes seem to confuse me as to what the message the artist is trying to say. funk's color scheme has definitely loud reason, it resonates right ...

Vern, I noticed in your composition...

1) Cool colors dominated the background

2) Warmy shaded colors dominated the foreground.


Did you intentionally chose those colors so as to make that effect? Aside from copying it verbatim.

formica? that sounds too fifties, isn't it?

The leaf render of funksmaname looks like a trace of sponge effect in it, too.

Though the bushes need more work. I'll try and see if I can mod the bush.

Or... maybe related to splotch effect you mentioned.


Sorry, you replied right away.

The scatter parameter may help, by tweaking it, might produce a random effect.

Amazing!

U da man... Vern.

I still don't know how image brushing works, but I'll be able to figure it out soon.

With this, I think the sponge effect can also be created using image brush technique.

Vern, can you post a larger render size, I can't figure the details of the tree trunk. Thanks.

Impressive, vern.

By the way, I got the pics here...

Just wondering if anybody has worked on background coloring using any styles, though I'd be very much interested in the Art Lozzi color style. http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/4525/2278/320/661802/YBiceBoxRaider_trees1.jpg Is ASP5 good for this kind of work? http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/...
