    3D Bias and Tension

    Yes, and yes Mark, Feel free to use me as a reference, but be forewarned that I'm about the best kept secret in digital graphics :) You are correct in your riff on my bias and tension example, on all counts. Also, displacement maps can be explained as vector graphs, and these two can have...

    3D Bias and Tension

    I came across these terms in the Watt?s brothers? book on photorealistic modeling; I thought I?d share, and the terms are fairly meaningless without visual examples. Bias and tension are properties of control points (anchors), and we can use them when a curve is applied to a multi-color fill--in...

    Happy Father's Day! If you're a dad, or you have a dad, today's your day! I'm using the textures thread, 'cause I used a texture for everyone's card! My Best, Gare

    expression becomes acrylic

    Microsoft enters the graphics market (again) Thanks for the news, sPECTre! Traffic is something else on Microsoft's site this weekend! It took me three tries to download "Acrylic", but I finally got the install down, pooped it and played with it. Overall, it's a whimper and not a bang...

    Mermaid Night Lights

    Yep That's Application Convergence all right, Raven! ;) What did you use Vue 5 for? I just got it; it's not all that stable, isn't it? But pretty pix, and nice animation and rendering features! The mermaid looks lovely, BTW. Who did you use as a base character, Judy? My Best, Gare

    Ahhh, Alien Skin! Nice rock wall, Welles! :righton: I'd never heard of the texture program for the Mac, but Alien Skin 5000 sure looks interesting. About ten years ago, Virtus (a liesure service of director John Cameron) gifted me with a nifty Mac program that they bought from Alien Skin...

    The June Free For All

    sPECTre!! I really like your "weave" texture! And the links you provided should encourage more entries this month, too! The zebrawood is nicely done; care to describe how you did it? Here's an example of how a mask channel can help texture models. I created the basket weave in Aldus...

    scan bizarrities

    Erik Erik-- A very easy way to save for the Web is to scan away at high-res, the press Ctrl+Alt+Shift+W (File, Save for the Web), resize the image using Bicubic Sharper (this does not change your original, but instead resamples the Save for Web copy), choose png if you like (or jpeh High)...

    p?tr? Hi, p?tr??k--- Very nice tones! Okay, tiling requires that first the texture scene is lit evenly; you got a hot spot in your wood at upper right. Making the image tile seamlessly is then quite simple; you use the Filter>Other>Offset command, specify that Wrap Around is enabled, and...

    scan bizarrities

    Profiling It sounds like a profiling problem, Erik--although I have no idea why a 72ppi scan is so much darker than an equivalent 300ppi scan. Try adjusting Adobe Gamma from Windows' Control Panel; now remember that this wonderful l'il utility only works in Adobe applications, and if you...

    The June Free For All

    The topic is textures; we use them in just about every app, and this month presents a challenge/opportunity to strut your prowess to the group and generate (or retrieve from your archives) some really good textures! How about some conditions: ?Dont't post a preset, that is, create, scan...

    Hey, Welles! Welles, I'm in therapy, alright ;) What are you doing up at 7:30 am Pacific Time? [confused] Hey, did you hear that Apple might enter into negotiation w/ Intel to product a next generation of processors? I, for one, would welcome this for a number of reasons, to wit...

    The ELO Fiber

    Wowee! Nice one, Welles! :righton: :righton: Hey, Vertigo's still making plug-ins, eh? I used to own "Dizzy" a few years back. It's worth mentioning that Illustrator, both Mac and Win, CS and later, has encorporated Dimensions into the workspace. If you're not familiar with Dimensions...

    The ELO Fiber

    This is not actually a thread, so I'm calling it a fiber of the Yes logo thread. The Electric Light Orchestra had a very recognizable logo, just like Yes did. Welles kindly traced off the logo to Illustrator format for us---verrry accurate trace, Welles :righton: ...I tried it myself, and...
