Cinema 4d and Photoshop CS4

Tuesday, March 3rd, 2009

Purchased Cinema 4d and Photoshop CS4 this week as part of Lucid Studio. I’ve been mucking about with some of the features and before I knew it I had something quite funky. Thought I would post it to let you all see.

Love the layout to CS4. So much more organised and intuitive. Lucid Studio is going to reap the benifits from the increased productivity. Cinema 4d seems nice too. Need to have more of a playabout with it!

TDP – Make it Old

Sunday, January 25th, 2009

Hi. Todays little experiment was to take a photo I had and make it look like one of the old photos your mum or dad might get out and its been ravaged by time. Here is my result:

I got a photo I took on a digital camera. Messed about with the colour balance to make it look a bit ‘greeny’. Then added an Alpha channel with an image of crumpled up paper, to which I added a lighting effect to give it a slight ‘crumpled’ shadow. I then added a gradient of yellow to the top of the image to make the top look more exposed than the other. Then added a few coffee stains with this brush.

Here is the original Image:

TDP – Headless

Saturday, January 17th, 2009

Asked in the office yesterday: “Someone give me a challenge for TDP tomorrow.” The reply was “Do a picture of someone without a head”. So here is the result. The picture is of me and the other half at a wedding. Background could have been fixed up a little better but didn’t want to spend too much time on it as I am a busy man!

TDP – Me In Tall Grass

Wednesday, January 14th, 2009

For todays daily Photoshop I used a recent picture of me taken on an iPhone. Cut out the pic, matched the colour map (Image > Adjustments > Match Colour) then used a ‘Grass Brush’ on my eraser tool to cut out the bottom of me.
