3dsmax tutorial : Creating Head Using Splines

2008-03-29T07:47:00.000-07:00

This is a two-part tutorial which exploits a little known capability of Max to create a head. I personally find this technique easier than box modeling for heads since your topology and edge flow are there from the beginning. With box modeling, there's a lot of division, connecting, turning, etc. to get basic topology in place.

Photoshop Tutorial: Masking with Pen Tool

2008-03-29T05:44:00.000-07:00

One of the main things that every PhotoChopper needs to know is how to free-up, or separate, different parts of an image. With programs like Photoshop there are a number of ways to do this. But this particular tutorial will deal with one of my favorite way to get this sometimes challenging job done. And the main tool for this tutorial will be:

THE PEN TOOL

Although there are a number of sub-tool-types for this item, we will be focusing on the basic Pen Tool which is accessed under the icon shown above on your PS tool bar. Choose it by clicking on the icon, or for bonus points use the keyboard shortcut by pressing "P" to select it.

Creating Water Surface in PhotoShop

2008-03-28T18:40:00.001-07:00

Creating a realistic water surface in Photoshop is quite a challenge because it is the distorted reflection of the surroundings that makes the water look liquid. The displace filter is an excellent tool for making this distortion.

The displace filter "shifts pixels" in an image according to the brightness values of a displacement map. You can use any .psd file as a displacement map (if saved with "Maximize compatibility"). Displace uses the first and the second channels of this .psd file for horizontal and vertical displacement respectively. Each channel is a grayscale image. Medium gray (brightness 128) does nothing. Darker values will shift an image in the positive direction (in Adobe coordinates). Brighter values cause a shift in the negative direction. The amount of displacement can be controlled separately. At a scale value of 100, the displacement measured in pixels is equal to 128 minus the brightness of the displacement map. For example, a white pixel will shift an image 128 - 255 = -127 pixels at the corresponding pixel at that setting.

The following tutorial shows how to create a relatively simple displacement map and how to create a water surface with it. This method does not adjust for wave height and distances, but it produces good results if the water is calm and if the surface is not intersected by other elements.
