Description: I consider this texture a significant improvement over my previous image. The Popgnarl texture did away with the "plastic" look of the bones, and made it look--IMHO--rugged. Although I believe the bones still need to look old and worn out, I guess I will try to achieve this in other images, as this one has successfully worn me out.  I also tweaked the iterations, taking off several vertebrae and leaving it open in the end. Looks more realistic to me this way. Finally, I also managed to create a "shadow" layer, which in my humble and inexpert opinion doesn't look too bad at all. What do you guys think? Once again, I appreciate your comments and suggestions.

| August 02, 2008, 12:41:15 PM thank you, i think we should put those in a tutorial section .... |
| Guest | August 01, 2008, 09:39:02 PM Sure! I created a layer with one single color, matching the darkest color of the ground layer (brownish/ochre). I reduced six vertebrae in the beginning (it starts at iteration 50 instead of 44, which is the beginnig of the other layers) I used "Last" as the trapping mode, instead of first. I rotated and dislocated it a little, simulating light coming from an angle from the back. Finally, I added an increasing transparent region matching as exactly as possible the lightest region of the gradient, giving the illusion that the shadow "fades" at the borders. Here is a screencap of the layer, the gradient and the iteration parameters:  Does this help? Do you know of a better/more realistic way of doing it? |
