    Conspicuously absent at bookstores this Friday

    Thanks! Thanks, Welles! From Chapter 4: Susie said to Prince Henrick, ?and I suppose only a kiss will restore you to human form, right?? Prince Henrick croaked, ?Actually, a french kiss does the trick. You see, I?m a horny toad.? But all Susie heard was a small, guttural nee-deep from the...

    Phun with Photoshop

    Snowdog Um, the display of alcoholic beverages doesn't occur in after-market books according to my publisher's wishes :bustagut: .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 ;)...

    Phun with Photoshop

    Guess again :) 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. My DNA, Gare

    Phun with Photoshop

    Thanks! Thanks, Raven! For folks who want to copy the techniques, copy shadows from the original to a new layer, and put the layer in Multiply mode, at about 75% Opacity. Bake at 450?; cool. Serves 4-6. The seashell is soft plastic (I, too collect shells, but only on vacation, 'cause my...

    Finished image Thanks for the kind comments, all! I wound up using a blend of photographic and Vue render for the water. The "real" water came out boring. My Best, Gare

    Phun with Photoshop

    Pre-editing Thanks, Mark! I don't go out of my way to keep it secret that I pre-edit example images in books--mostly necessary 'cause my photography talents are questionable. Yesterday, I wanted to show how to transport a model from a white sheet to a beach scene (Vue's good, but trial...

    Conspicuously absent at bookstores this Friday

    Rowling, Eiwn Colfer's Artemus Fowl series, and Jenny Nimmo's Charlie Bone have left me wondering what I'm doing writing Photoshop books. So I'm moonlighting, as it were. :D My Best, Gare

    Illustrator Daisy digipic to Vectors

    Streamline, si! I'll have to download a demo of your vector tracer, Raven! Nice renders :righton: While we're on it, I use Streamline 3 for cartooning (SL 4 is a tad too feature-rich for what I need). I do a pen and ink, scan it, clear off the pencil using PS, then Streamline the scan...

    The Free (or really cheap) App Thread

    Typefaces galore I'm listing several places here, where you can get free, or reasonably-priced fonts. Support CottageWare! All of these sites feature Mac and Win fonts, and I've not listed "grunge" fonts because the general novelty has worn thin, I believe. http://www.blambot.com/...

    Objaction Mover for Poser I haven't seen anyone else post this link, so here goes: Sandy Lodge created a free utility called Obaction Mover for Windows that quickly enables Poser v3 and up users to import an obj model as a fully jointed and poseable Poser figure...

    The Free (or really cheap) App Thread

    Paint.Net Microsoft has licensed technology from Washington State U. to present us with a free public beta of Paint.Net; http://www.eecs.wsu.edu/paint.net/ . but you need to install Net Framework first. In short, no, it's not even close to Photoshop, but has some of the tools such as...

    The Free (or really cheap) App Thread

    Okay, I'll go first: ArtRage is ideal for those of us who can't afford Painter! It doesn't have layers or nozzles, but you can paint away using textured canvases, and an assortment of natural media. And you can trace a loaded image, and ArtRage chooses the colors for you. Mac and Win...

    The July Free For All

    Okay, past monthly challenges have focused on effects and techniques, but we really haven't delved into the elusive art of design. Good design is the foundation of all of our painting, drawing, and modeling endeavors--without an original concept, our art becomes all embellishing and very little...

    For those of us living in the US, a very Happy 4th of July to us all; I'm trying to fix the grill on the patio today...*yawn*. Happy 1st to the Canadians, and I'll repost this animation for the Brits on November 5th :D (the animation was written out of Maya--a textbook example of...
