Art Processing Sharing Blog
In the last few days people have been sharing a wealth of existing forum topics, tutorials and shared presets concerning the general discussion of the artist trying to achieve a raised, impasto, watercolor or other surface, textural quality to digital paint brushes, msg parameters, or canvas operations in Studio Artist. Of course I've barely begun to scratch the surface. But it's exciting to find out there's much fertile ground here.
One of the links shared was to a 2007 forum topic started by John, Simulating Depth in Paint or Graphics. John talked about the Gradient Lighting Image Operation and also the Brush Load control panel, which at that time was in the packaged software on video tutorial disc #3. I wonder if that video is still relevant, still online?
In the replies to that post someone posted a set of paint synth presets: 3d_oil_CD_0108.zip, and another, cd_oil_backtexture.zip I gave these a try on some San Francisco landmarks that might John think about his city, and got some surprisingly good results! Using a set of photos I took of the Transamerica pyramid and the Cafe Zoetrope building in San Francisco I tried hand painting the photos using some tweaked versions of those presets with several variables and got some remarkable results. I love the results and will use the image transfer processes I've mentioned to paint this image to touch it up with acrylics at some point.
