Phun with Photoshop

Amazing Gare! ;) Guess you did some DNA switching too if you used your feet as model.

Sorry to say, my feet weren't used. I "discovered" a young fellow in our meditation group who's a devout ham. I did about two 128MB cards of him, and he'll be featured in the book's tutorials.

i had something else in mind... [sly]

[gare]

Um, the display of alcoholic beverages doesn't occur in after-market books according to my publisher's wishes .Like Paul Hogan in the old Fosters commercials, Dave drinks off-camera. That's Hawaiian Punch in the Polynesian cocktail mug I added to the photo ;)

Nikkie--fun one

I needed a typography example, so I came up with this.

The damagewas real, but I added the flames using Maya PaintEffects, along w/ smoke. The cars were rendered in Vue (composited using PS), and there's tiny people inside: Poser.

The trees are also fake>Digital Elements' Verdant, and Carrera rendered nice interiors for the Poser people.

My Best,

Very nice Gare, i love the trees and the cars, the only way i am able to create a fire is with Eye Candy but the results are far from convincing...

BTW....

Hi, Nikkie--

Yeah, Eye Candy's fx are great, but won't completely fool the viewer's eye.

Alias has a personal learning edition that's free:

and I found a wonderful fire tute at: http://www.evermotion.org/tutorials/paintfx/fire/

It takes an investment of time, but the rewards are there. I'm adding physical simulations of fluids, fireworks, and other stuff to my PS work as soon as I can learn it.

My Best,

Gare

The next in my "trashed fast food joints" series.

Whew! A bit of Twilight Zone there, Gare, with the interior of the restaurant leading back into (?) [confused] a mysterious new dimension beyond the trees! Fun one!
