Some time ago i posted here asking for a tool which can easily combine a height map (or 'bump map') with a Normal map. There's a solution in the form of a new version to the freeware normalmap creator ...

so cute

I think lowering the red stripes in the background was a good call since it was too distracting- but it feels less alive and dynamic somehow- can't put my finger on it but it calls for mo ...

Cool. I like the colors and vivid feel in the first one, and the way smoothness of her skin stands out compared to the textures in the rougher brushstrokes.
As to the second one, you really should ha ...

would this be a possible solution? - create one greyscale map containing shading/detail information for your map, and multiply it on top of flat colors to create a shaded map. Very easy on the memory ...

Hey SpiralEye... I'm no expert on this but i'll just share my ideas- The way i understand it, if a perfectly filtered yellow light hits a perfectly blue surface, all light will be absorbed by the surf ...

Thanks Frost! yeah, i found out the hard way that Overlay doesn't do the trick... i didn't know i could renormalize things with this nvidia filter, you've been of great service. Smile

- EDIT - did s ...

1. I have two normal maps for a lowpoly object- the first was generated from a highpoly object, the second was generated from a height (bump) map. What i want is to combine the two maps together- i.e ...

you can also place a Meshsmooth modifier on top of your editable mesh/poly with its Iterations set to 0 (only effects smoothing groups, no actual subdivision happening) - this way your mesh always lo ...

Good job! these are better than any of your previous ones imo- extreme and recognizable.

You might want to try separating the image into different layers, laying out the far background at the bottom layer, and the foreground at the top layer, with as many depth slices in between as neede ...

I'll second that. It definitely takes too long to load- you can probably reduce the filesize by compressing your thumbnails- use lower quality jpeg, or use gifs with a minimized palette- photoshop's " ...

These look pretty damn good. are these straight out of the cam, no color correction and tweaking in photoshop?

welcome to photoshop Smile

ah, the blessed UNDO .
As to the images you posted- i think you should try starting out with colored canvas rather than a blank white one. right now there's too much of that ...

It's a good start. I think that the perspective is off- the hero looks too big , while the people in the background are very small and uniform in size, even though some of them -particularly the secon ...

Looks good, but it has some problems imo - the background and foreground are too similar in contrast, values and tones. those tights scribbles on some part of the background are also too distracting a ...

Cool! some really nice shots and frames in this clip. i have to admit that it was a little hard to follow ,what with all that action all over the place... but maybe i'm just getting too old for this. ...

Looks good!
There a couple of things that can use some tweaking- the neck seems to be slightly too long, making her a little awkward looking, and her hands- speicifically the palms of her hands- look ...

cool stuff Tinusch. My two favorites are the pirate and the astronaut. i was instantly reminded of roundeye's cowboy when viewing the latter, but i think you did an excellent job with it - colors and ...

have you tried Poser? i know that many people like to use Poser figures for reference. i don't know how articulated the muscle structure is on these models, but it might be just what you're looking fo ...

Cool! looks great , you certainly did a good job on the hair, especially on the lower parts. The one thing that is missing is some nice cast shadows on the face . oh, and the dark eyeballs look weird, ...

Excellent work! the borders are nothing short of brilliant. i love the folliage on the second pic.

Pretty cool.. I like it all, but i have to agree about a certain compositional discomfort.. maybe just playing around with the way the typography relates to the image can solve this. Perhaps eliminati ...

Looks good! the first thing i though while this picture was loading was that the palette reminded me of eyewoo's recent illustrations series. the second thing i though was that the shadows are going i ...

Looks good so far. I think you can take it further by using a redder hue rather than those pinks on his nose and cheeks. I'd also try killling the symmetry in his expression- maybe make his lower lip ...

Cool. i had the exact same exercise at college. Very Happy

I think your solutions are good, you might want to try and invert the "increase" one -black to white- to make it more effective.
the Bold one seem ...

Cool work. I actually like the inked version better than the colored one, i think it has more depth and vibrancy . (am i insane?)

Pretty cool.. very nice lighting, what kind of light sources did you use? is it my imagination or do some of the lights actually shine through the paper? nice effect! I also like the low dof in some o ...

just a couple of extra tips-

use Ctrl+Alt+a number to automatically load the selection from the relevant channel. (for example ctrl+alt+4 to select the first non RGB channel)

Cool stuff. the first and the last are the best imo.
