So I decided to do the Noah Bradley 21 days challenge! Im doing "Master studies" of other artists paintings for 21 days, Il try to most of the studies based on old dead oil painters, but I figure, since the point is to improve my own digital techniques I threw in a few digital artists as well to study how they tackle the…
Thanks for the ping @Eric Chadwick @bitinn Sorry you are having problems with Lys. Can you confirm which drivers you currently have installed and if you have multiple GPUs installed on your system please ? I'm running Windows 10 version 1709 with 388.71 and everything seems to be working as expected here, so I'm guessing…
Google Photos or Imageshack are pretty lenient with bandwidth. Don't use photobucket. You could also use Dropbox, but you need to make sure the pictures are in the public folder or else no one else will view them. Anyways, that's a cool looking creature man you got there. I like the big eyes and the oddly spaced "legs".…
@Bryan Cavett: I just tried to move one image into a test directory (away from from where it originally was). Turned the layer on and off and restarted Photoshop, and it is still there. I'm guessing it saves a "local" copy of the image to the psd. You can still edit the image, and when you go to save the edit, it…
@FreneticPonies I can totally get that. I was going for a style that's akin to what you see in the fable games, specifically fable legends. @AdamFlake The snow on the buildings is a layered material. It's being driven with vertex color and a heightmap. I'm also doing some displacement in the snow layer to make it feel…
pior: http://www.fxshare.com/shake/ for all things shake. the documentation shake 4 comes with is pretty good, too. on the apple it's in programs->shake(folder)->doc, including a node reference. also if you're on apple (and how could you not be? shake on linux is still a few thousand per seat iirc) then you will want to…
REEL this one is using some fractal technique. duplicating the layer moving scaling and rotating with the same parameters gets something funny. allways gotta be carefull tho. fractals look cheap if used too obvious. i guess one can see that one swirl... AMP I checked through the folder finding this rather recent one. made…
Same here, our copy showed up at work and while we can all install it at any time, no one will until after the current cycle is over. Even then people won't rush to install it until the first or second SP is out. Last time they rushed SP1 out just to get people to switch and it hurt. Seriously the list of features isn't…
Aha thanks Kanga, though i have been lazy with this project, not in effort but organizing time to do it. If i was organized, i would have the final render in a month and my first portfolio piece ready. Yet im still toying with it at my leisure, which is not a good habit. As for progress, slipped in a hour this mourning to…
I sometimes have that with Max when using very big PSD files, I assume it is because max already detects that the file is being altered or is changed even though PS is not yet done saving it tries to load the files already- as soon as PS done max is still accessing the file resulting into a failure on PS side for the whole…
