I've been more than a bit bored lately, so..

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Post here if you have any questions having to do with either Photoshop, or Bryce. I also may be able to help you with some PSP questions.

 

 

 

(I can only answer questions 100% for those using Bryce 5, PSP9, or PS 5 and above.)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Please don't ask any questions regarding "art". For example don't ask: What color should I use? How do I make a sig? How do I make an abstract? , that's your job. I'm just trying to help you use the program to it's fullest so that you can acheive your artistic vision.

 

 

 

However, you could ask me questions on techniques, like creating chrome text, or a partially-transparent grid or whatever..

K, here is a quick question for bryce 5.

 

 

 

What are paths, and how do I use them?

i 2 gots a question :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

in bryce 5, i know how 2 do animation and put it into ps7,... but what i cant figure out is how 2 do the animation over a bg of a sig...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

do u have 2 make the bg in bryce first, then do the animation? cuz it seems rather hard 2 do it that way...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

hope my quesiton was clear enough 4 u

Well Link, the easiest way to do that would be to do a solid-color background in Bryce as similar as possible to the overall colors of the sig you want, then, when you have all the frames exported, just remove the solid color background in every frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm helping MPM via PM.

well id like to learn about path's as well.....and also, what suggestions do you have on adding more realism to Bryce 5 renders?

with reference to my piece

 

 

 

http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=83985

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

a) whether the style is correct to vectorise

 

 

 

B) if so, what procedures i would use to vectorise realisticaly in ps7, with moderate understanding of featues and tools

Leowen, in Bryce, you link a shape to a motion path via the linking tab in the attributes of the object, and animate as normal, if you have no idea what I'm talking about, pm me.

 

 

 

As for adding realism, that's up to you. :) ;)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Deximus, what you're doing is pixel-drawing, vector refers to drawing with paths, or vectors, which are basically mathematically-defined lines. You use them in Illustrator, and somewhat in PS. I can give you more specific help via pm.

If i get Bryce, How do i make the renders that go into Photoshop for an easy Abstract?

I reaslly like how well you do text, so I'd like some advice on some of the things you do. One thing specifically is putting text on a path in Photoshop.

Demoris..you might want to check this out.

Couldn't get it to work though... :oops:

It says you need Photoshop CS, I only have version 7.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I tried it anyway, and can't get it to work.

ah...didn't read too carefully... I have CS, but haven't installed it. Goodio.

I've got a question. Suppose I want to make a sig with solid background and animated text. Is there a way to do this with only 1 background frame, without putting background into every frame?

Two things:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

1. When making grunge sigs, with each of my brushed layers, in photoshop 7, what should i set my layers too? Soft Light?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

2. What sort of fonts go well with Grunge sigs, i've searched for grunge font but nothing goes well that i've found...

I got a question do you and other mods play runescape? and if you do whats your combat level?

i got a question, is there a quick render for animations? cause i have been rendering animations for hours, and then it turns out there is a mistake.

were can i find good tutorials for bryce/photoshop, and dont say shiver or good-tutorials.com

operationfl: Are you asking how to get the render into Photoshop? If so, go to File> Render to Disk. The rest should be pretty self-explanatory.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Demoris, ColAvanor: Yes, text-on-path is a feature availably exclusively in Photoshop CS. (Actually other programs have it, but not other versions of Photoshop).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Twisted_Master: If you're using imageready, all you have to do between frames is move the layer you want, you don't have to create an entire new image for each frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Fergz13: Those are things that are up to you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

ic3dragon: Please don't go off-topic.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Vladmoney: Do you know about the preview animation button? It shows you a small (the size of the preview in the upper-left) version of the animation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MeXe: Just search google.

Thx man - Helped alot.

I have one, who invented liquid soap and why?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh and can you spell out the advantages of nested layers, as that is a feature that corel photopaint doesn't support in my version. (Yeah I know I could find that easily, but I had to justify my liquid soap question).

Tttia, I assume you're talking about layer sets and nested layer sets, available in Photoshop CS.

 

 

 

It's basically to help you organize your work and move things. You really kind of have to try them to get how useful they are.

Pretty sure nested layers were around before cs, but ah well....just wondering what they were and what I was missing :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

and liquid soap?

As far as I know, the first version of Photoshop at least to have nested layers is CS.

 

 

 

Think of marbles..it's easier to deal with the marbles when they're in a bag, right?

Is it actually possible to make vector in Photoshop? All of the photoshop "vector" I've seen is really just raster.
