    something from the present challenge : I like the second one best

     


    here's a couple of variations including  Dart's elegant ambient occlusion observations

    1st) this I had to turn the occlison radius up to 8ft - it has a toonpro, wireframe pro and coverage pass incoorporated over the top (multiply parameter) to show off some line work

    Image may contain: plant, shoes, table and outdoor

     

    2) this second one is the same as the above with a beauty pass on a top layer. The paramter linear light is used on this layer - to bring out more of a cartoony look 

     

    Image may contain: plant and outdoor

     

    Next one uses the photoshop filter 'graphic pen' on the ambient pass. On top of that I used two  neutral grey laters with Overlay parameters to give a bit more ink work'. I also ran them through the graphic pen but used different angles for the pen lines

    Image may contain: people sitting, plant, table, outdoor and indoor

     

    As above but run through filter forge's "sketchbook  filter" to reduce the highlights

    Image may contain: people sitting, plant, outdoor and indoor

     

    Final tweaking. I took above image and ran it run through 'poster edges' ps filter. Then dropped the shadow pass on top (parameter to 'multiply'). Tweaked that the shadow pass's tonal levels to reduce the midtone brightness.

     

    Image may contain: people sitting, plant, shoes, outdoor and indoor

     

    I'll probably make the area where the figure is a little brighter to make the focal point more obvious....

     

     

    Like the second one as well !!!

    Nice series with your wizard.

    well this one's a beauty - the orange really pops - what filter(s) did you use for this one if you don't mind giving away secrets

    great sense of destiny in this one - like he is stepping out into the world - and yes Wizard's do need apprenticies :)

    Thanks.

    Tigermoth is a combination of Fotosketcher and PhotoDonut. Base was Fotosketcher oil painting. The saved Fotosketcher image was then opened in PhotoDonut and various filters trialled, I did not keep a record of which one I applied but Choco Flash 03 rings a bell. Then both the Fotosketcher and PhotoDonut images were opened in Paint Shop Pro, the Fotosketcher image was made the base and the PhotoDonut image was made a layer with a normal blend overlay at about 50% transperancy.

    Have been experimenting with various filters (FilterForge, FotoSketcher, Topaz Studio, Dynamic Auto Painter, PhotoDonut) then trying various blends, somethings are very ordinary but every now and then you get a "wow" image.

    Images looking good as always...

    Bunyip02_Carrara:

    Those are all my go to tools as well, except for Topaz Studio - I just wanted to point out to you that you do not need to use Paint Shop Pro for compositing after working inside of PhotoDonut.

    PhotoDonut has a compositing room with all the composite nodes you would need to do anything, including blends and overlays.

    If you prefer your PSP workflow, that's fine, but I thought you might like to know there is the alternative...

    Hello DaremoK3

    Thanks, I have found the PhotoDonut option for working in layers with blends overlays - have tried it out of interest, but will be sticking with Paint Shop Pro for my workflow which I have used since obtaining PSP 5 (also use Paint.Net), which is a while now !!! Next up is to save my money and get a graphics pen/tablet.

    Wish I could just give you my Wacom - but I still use it for sketching. Mine is really old anyway.

    I just use the wacom One from Aldi... cost about $40 if I remember right.

    You can have my wacom bamboo if you need one. It's packed away somewhere here.

    Thanks Bunyip02 - DepartingTrains 02 is giving good results as well :)

     

    I bought a wacoom from office works many years ago - they matched the online price - it's good but very scratched now :(

    thanks Stezza - I can see people are also asking about obj export - imagine how small those files would be :)

    the physics with the dropping stones works pretty quickly?

    The ability to cross pollinate would be great if they develop it.

    Nice Art renderings I brought Carrara about 2 and a half years ago, I was so happy to have a new program, but for months I struggled with it and then I just gave u due to not much support.

    Thanks.

    Like all programs there is a learning curve. Fortunately for me I invested in Learning Carrara 8.5, Advanced Carrara Techniques, and Carrara - Realism Rendering by Phil Wilkes which at the time could be bought in the DAZ3D shop then downloaded from Infinite Skills, the courses are no longer sold in the shop and is now available through O'Reilly. Learning Carrara 8.5 is also available on DVD through Amazon. PhilW does have the following course for animation in the DAZ3D shop https://www.daz3d.com/animation-in-carrara-video-tutorials

    In the Carrara Information manual there are a lot of links that are of help :- https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/15970/carrara-information-manual/p1

    A good starter is Diomedes thread :- https://www.daz3d.com/forums/discussion/119181/no-one-asked-me-diomede-posts-screenshots-on-whatever/p1

    Any specific problems you can also ask in the forum.
