    great effect, thanks for the heads up on this one, just had a go at it but not getting anything that looks like yours!

    Hello Headwax, I normally try anywhere from half a dozen to a dozen of the different filters to see which one has the best result. I also use Topaz Adjust for colour improvement of the render before I use Filter Forge.

    Very nice Bunyip02, you are on a roll with filter forge.

    Here's mine for the day. Using Topaz, Fotosketcher and Waterlogue. Also  the notsobeauty render... first time I have really looked at Carrara's skies with a finer eye. It has a lot of potential. The Genesis for this one was a Wyeth sailing ship. 

    Long John Silver was a painted over in Artrage 5.  Finally unpacked my Wacom.

    HW, has your thinking changed at all on the VectorStyle 2 plugin?  Pretty good discount today.

    thanks TangoAlpha, I must load up Phil's ocean bundle .... lost it when I lost my drive. Hard drive that is.

    thanks for the heads up UB , I was too lazy to take it back. For me it's pretty useless :) but you don't know until you spend a while using it! That said Artini has done some nice inorganic stuff.

    I only use Carrara for animation, but figured I'd post a test of a figure for my next thing.

    I have VectorStyle and ToonPro, and I stopped using VectorStyle once I figured out that if I really needed to have a vector file, I could Image Trace the rendering in Adobe Illustrator. ToonPro gives a lot more options, in my opinion.

    nice shaders in this - post more if you have it :)

    BTW Vectorstyel2 works in Carrara 8

    Not to turn this into a separate convo -- but how/where does it work? Is it in the rendering? Because I've uploaded it and it isn't showing up as an option like photorealistic or toon pro. Is it a shader option?

    you choose FILE> Save As as where you normally save a car file

    click the arrow and you'll get a drop doen menu giving you options of file type 

    somewhere doen the borrom is vectorstyle

    choose eps

    I like this - not just the cool character(s), but the background styling is great too - kind of a ralph bakshi edge/flavor I've come to like. Do you publish other work like this? I'd love to see more, and learn anything you'd share about your workflow and tool-chain! I thought I got into this world for photo-real, but am finding that your stuff and the recent works by HeadWax are taking me in a very different direction. (to be honest, most folks in this crowd are amazingly creative inspirations that cover the full spectrum of styles. It's all simply amazing.)

    cheers,

    Trying out a new filter in AE (hence the red X). I'm pretty impressed this is zero touch up. Lines are coming out really smooth and crisp.

    chap's suit and the foreground ground worked up very well in this,

     

    BC Rice - that's a terrific effect, even with the cross :)

    a few random links

    A Daz Studio User working On Passes

    - though the first part is for daz studio I think there's some relevant stuff at the 50 mins plus mark for Carrara users

    just a matter of looking at the render passes he is combining and thinking how we can make them in Carrara

    remembering that Carrara has diffuse, colour, ambient , shadow and coverage (line) passes all built in ;)

    Some Examples of Comic Artwork

    : also this chaps work - I think some of the b and w stuff could be easily done in Carrara https://illustrationage.com/2017/05/31/comics-illustrator-of-the-week-greg-smallwood/

    Layer Blend Modes

    Playing today with my Photo Plus 8 internal filters and Filter Forge filters as well. Thanks to TangoAlpha I've got my Filter Forge v5 for free. Photo Plus is one of my photo editing programs. I have not used Photoshop for ages and don't have any other Adobe soft on my computers.

    wow, Vyusur  really very nice, cant decide which is my favourite. I see Photo Plus 8  has been abandonned? pity!

  • VyusurVyusur Posts: 2,235

    Thank you, Andrew. Yes, Photo Plus is legacy now. I have Affinity Photo as well, but in many cases I still prefer Photo plus. As for artistic filters, I don't use them since I left my old job where I had to simulate paintings for sale. Since then I hate this kind of stuff. And I hate Photoshop since I left another my job which was glamorous wedding magazine where I had to process a great number of photos for covers and illustrations.
