    Sheet Metal?

    Sheet Metal?

    Ok, I've made a set of illustrations so hopefully you'll understand my steps ;\ A couple of things first to explain why I've used specific sizes etc. As the checkerplate needs to be reasonably small to be seen inside text, I started out with a 64 sq pixel doc. This is going to end up at...

    Sheet Metal?

    Say something like this? Or bigger / smaller text? Th reason I ask is that it makes a difference to how the ckecker plate is made so that it doesn't blur into a mess. The basic Checkerplate is a pattern, which is then applied as a fill to enhance a simple texture - this way keeps...

    Sheet Metal?

    Hi, like most things there are too many different techniques to describe them all so I'll ask a couple of questions to focus what exactly you're looking for... What kind of scale and size are we considering? Do you want it to tile? oh, do you want it 'clean and shiny' like aluminium, or...

    a bit of help needed

    Depending on how organic/realistic you want the web to appear, I think it could be constructed by simply stroking a selection... I'll try to explain what I was thinking and then illustrate it a bit later. I tried making a round-ish selection (large) and then scalloped the edges by...

    Turning image into a 1-3 colour image

    :P I think you're referring to the 256 shades of grey, unless you call black and white a colour ... Not knowing what your source image is I can't vouch for how useful this will be, but have you tried making an adjustment using threshold where you can define the number of colours the image...

    Warming effect?

    I'm just an inept muppet, but I'd guess that it depends on which channel is the predominant one in your image... [confused]

    spyware in Photoshop CS???

    Oh, I also added win2kpro on a separate HD to make it a dual boot system so I could play with MAYA PLE :) unfortunately the PC isn't up to anything more than modelling very basic shapes

    spyware in Photoshop CS???

    hehe, I'm quite happy sitting here with a P3 500, 512Mb ram in 98SE and PS5! :D Although I may have to update next year to play DooM3, and I'm not sure if the problem I have with my tablet crashing (ther's something in there that causes a division by zero error) is because of the old...

    Another Resolution Question

    You don't mention the format the camera is using, jpeg compression can have a serious effect on the image quality and is the default image format for most cameras. If you are able to select the format, a tiff image doesn't use compression, thus maintaining image integrity for post processing...

    TeXture Discussion

    I'd like to point people back towards the thread at Map-Center because it has now developed further: http://www.map-center.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=1757&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15 The second page illustrates adding detail to the original base, whilst a section in the...

    TeXture Discussion

    I need a new PC before I can upgrade from my PS5 (there are other things on the shopping listas well), although I have read about and seen a tutorial video on the 'healing brush / patch tool' - all I can say is I'm envious of texture artists with the luxury of that tool!

    TeXture Discussion

    Just to round things off - a couple of pipes and some cables, use the stroked path method that so many interface design tutorials cover. These details are kept on separate layers, a set of variation textures is really quick to make... remember that the path tool can be manipulated by...

    TeXture Discussion

    That's looking really nice. [honesty] I guessed you had used the same strip for the stripes in your previous image - and it looks just that, the same piece rotated and put at the edges. If you created a layer(s) with your stripes the same size as the image, a layer mask or select/delete...
