Working with graphics...

[Dawn11]

I find doing tutorials is the best way that I learn, I'm self taught too...and in your age range...old dogs can learn new tricks

Here's one I did with KPT FraxFlame in PSP, called In The Beginning

I love this filter, it's makes awesome backgrounds...

 

[Sunny]

Dawn-That is phenomenally gorgeous! And well done! What filter is it & where'd you get it?

 

[Dawn11]

Hi Sunny, it's one of the filters in KPT Effects. Here's a review on it. The specific one that I used in this was FraxFlame.

There are a lot of places selling it over the NET, I know Amazon is selling it...

'Awesome' is certainly the right word, Dawn. I'll have to track down that filter.

BTW, I did find a bit of info on Poser & Vue but they seem rather expensive. Do you know of any freeware 3D programs?

Sunny, I didn't create 'The Lord Reigns', although I'm pretty sure I could- I'll have to try it. And I do hope you're going to share some of your photography with us.

ps: I did create this one;

Silas-I like your creation! Truer words were never fashioned!
I have a question...In the thread called "Sell the stuff you make" or something like that & another thread, I ran across some non-believers that had some definite atheist sayings at the end of their posts. I felt called upon to tell them I would pray for them, etc. Am I wrong in this? I told them how saddened I was that they were missing out as I was there once. Am I breaking a rule or anything? Anyway here's is a couple of my manips done in Photoshop7. Just a desaturation & resize witha little unsharp mask after resize.

Here are some free 3D modeling programs:

Also there are high end 3D programs that are being given away through some of the industry magazines...this is a great program if you can get your hands on a copy of the magazine when it comes out...

COMPUTER ARTS 88 EXCLUSIVE: CINEMA 4D 6 CE - FREE!

Sunny, those are nice pictures. You show a very unique touch.
In answer to your question, I can't imagine a Christian forum having a problem with anyone sharing the Gospel with non-believers. I suspect the non-believers who post here are looking for something they perhaps can't quite put their fingers on anyway. Certainly we need to pray for them. I'm convinced you did the right thing

Dawn, thank you so much for those links. Your work has piqued my interest in 3D modeling. If it doesn't tax my poor brain too much more than animating graphics I might be able to take a shot at it

Silas-Thanks for the reassurance. I really don't want to offend anyone and get booted when I just got started!
Also thanks for the comment on my work-you're a dear.

 

[silas]

Sunny, I love viewing other peoples work. Even more so if I know them. I have some friends who are serious photographers so I have a real respect for the art.

After some of the mindless, juvenile drivel I've seen posted (by some who were eventually banned), you should never have to worry about getting booted.

The .gif below is one I just created in PSP.

Silas-Very nice & I haven't a clue how you do that!

Hi guys. Wow, you guys are all very good. I have PSP 8 but I have NO CLUE how to use it . I also have PS7 and I'm much more aquainted with that one. My latest toy is a Wacom tablet...LOVE IT!! Anyone else have one? Thanks for those links, Dawn...and I WANT THAT FILTER!!!!

Love, Heather

 

[silas]

Hi Heather. From what I've read in PSP newsgroups and forums version eight has some really nice features not in seven. I've been using 7.0 for a couple of years now and I'm still discovering untapped aspects. I'd love to see some of your PSP creations.

[donnyjoseph]

Hey you people are really great at creating such things I am also a designer but shifted to programming

 

[Sunny]

I haven't even figured out PS7 yet & can't imagine needing more but I am not into graphics so much just manipulating my pix a little.

 

[short stick]

oooo i love the graphics (i made my own sig etc too) and use poser and photoshop, although i really need to improve my 3d skills, do you import the railings or create it in poser dawn?
have you seen photoshop cs(8) is out and looks kick ***!
i have a wacom tablet and wouldnt part with it for the world, it has completely transformed the work i produce, and you can pick up KPT (kai's power tools) with the fraxframe filter for about £10 (dont know the currency convertion) and it is good, but takes a long time to render -.-
glad to see all the interest

 

[Dawn11]

Hi short stick, I love your sig pic. Haven't seen any reviews yet on the new PS, still using version 7...do you have a gallery somewhere? Here's a link to mine...
