Nice ones Jim, but going back to Tarjaks shot below- that's a great rendering you've done there mate. I don't know exactly how you've done it but the results are impressive.
So how did you do it?! |

Bent a bit of light here and there and made it into a pretty picture.
The main picture was touched up and colour tweaked in picasa using a number of the tools in there. Can't remember the exact sequence, but just played with it until the shine on the water was right and the sky looked good. Then started the hard yakka in Photoshop, cleaning up the edges and artefacts around the hull, adding some dodge and burn to accentuate certain areas of light and shade, adding some rust marks around the hull ports and then using smoke and splash brushes in various shades of white to be the wake and the water gushing out of the ports. They were done on a layer with low opacity (about 35% IIRC), to make them show the background image through the "painting". Finished it all up with some lighting effects to darken the top left corner and give the whole thing a bit of sheen. All up took about 6 hours of work but not all at one sitting. I normally have 3-4 images on the go at any one time and just go back and edit in parts as inspiration takes me. Well you asked didn't you? |

I see, so it was a marathon sitting. It would have to be! Great job though. The lighting effects really work well with that shot.
Thanks for the info. All I need now is 6 hours, probably in 3 minute increments unfortunately. Cheers. |
