Hi,

I'm looking for a certain tutorial and I hope that anybody could help me.
I saw it a while ago but i can't find it anymore.

It described how to get a structure sample into the painting.
The motive was a some kind of garage with a mech or something like that in it.
The walls were orange and grey.

I now this is a little sketchy, but I hope that anyone can help!

Thank you
fruity

Maybe Hideyoshi's Speedy tut for the 3CH?

No thats not the one i meant, but thanks man.

I made a really quick sketch just for the perspective.
This is probably far off


This guy described how to copy a foto of a structure into the painting

Like that (Picture from Nalfar)

That�s no photo! It�s a simple untextured 3d model

[fruity_loops]

No you didn't get me right

He described how to use a foto of a structure like that one



to make a painting look a little more crunchy, like yours.

Just copy the texture with CTRL+C, paste it into your painting file with CTRL+V, transform it with perspective in mind with CTRL+T, set the layers opacity to something under 50% and maybe set the blending mode to overlay. That's all you need, isn't it?

EDIT: Nice pic, Naglfar. Love it. Would you mind showing us the 3d-model?

[fruity_loops]

Yeah that works pretty good, thanks!

Do you use Hue/Saturation to set the color?

[Jabo]

You can set colors with a lot of different methods.

Hue/Saturation (CRTL+U), which is "okay", but not a non plus ultra.

Levels (CTRL+L), just pull the handles of the different channels. More control. When overlaying textures, pull the blacks and whites in the Master-controls towards the middle to receive a higher contrast.

Color-Balance (don't know the shortcut), which is cool if you want to set different colors for high, middle and low values.

Hey thanks, you really helped me!

I think you mean this one by Chris-Mayernik...

Wow, nice painting. It's always a shame when such good guys don't post anymore. BTW, I don't know if I've overlooked a nick-change or something, but what about Spinefinger? His site hasn't been updated since 2001 and I'm missing the coffeeshop-doodles...

Sure, here�s the 3d model I used for a base.



Also a very efficient way to build up texture is to make a texture brush. I use these quite a lot. Just select some texture you want to use as a brush and define it as a pattern. Then go into the brush options and there into texture and there you can define the texture (pattern) you want to have overlayed/substracted/multyplied etc. into the brush.

Thanks for the Tip, I'll try!

EDIT: just found the Tutorial again
