    Thanks HW and Stezza!  It's still not quite what I want.  It's a comic book "style in progress", rather than a WIP.

    Sorry I haven't been praising much lately.  I've kind of run out of superlatives.  Really nice work here you all have posted in the past few days.

    Stezza, your dog is a very cool creation.  Thank you again for sharing it.  I don't have the boned version yet.  I can see this ending up as a Carrara staple, especially in toon renders.

    And possibly in old oil paintings. :)

    wow this is a superb piece congrats!

    Karyssa 8 using Misty's G8F Carrara Beta. Combination of Topaz Impression & DAP.

    also this one, very painterly, lots of glow!

    Here is a GMIC filter Pen for another test cover.

     

    samecover, filter forge cartoon

     

    greetiongs Diomede, the first is my favourite, that's a classic cover! you have the style all worked out ! could be the cob=ver of  a 50's novel.

    Another Alien render.

    Is Misty's G8F Carrara Beta with a heap of morphs dialed in.

    Used Sloshwerks Genesis 8 UV Swap to convert RawArts Cat World for Genesis 8 Male(s) Cheetah skin to G8F.

    There were some stretching issues on the joins between the legs and torso which I used the clone brush in PaintShopPro to fix.

    Also used TangoAlphas excellent MV Stella Crew Deck - love his little dedication to Cripeman !!!!!

     

    terrific effect on the background

    Here is one portrait I just quickly put together and then used Cezanne preset in Dynamic Auto Painter with some tweaking - used more soft reveal on the face itself than the surrounding in the Retouch panel. The exact steps were: during Dry reveal, I paused with right mouse, then moved the dry reveal strength slider to maybe 20% or so, so mostly the rough underpaint showed, then after details were finished, went to retouch panel and with soft brush put the Soft Reveal back to face. Adjusted the outline to a thin pencil and that's mostly it.

    Here the same using GoghHD, however, during detail painting I used Forced Auto Brush and helped to bring out the edges and features of the portrait otherwise they would be too "random".

     

    the Cezzanne is beautiful

    alien works really well in this one - it has good appearence of roundness and goes with the background stylistically - what method did you use pray tell? :)

    . This is the Helmeted Bird out of one of Bosch's works - The Garden of Earthly Delights.

    He appears in my homage to another work by Bosch - Removing the Stone of Madness which will be soon hanging at Maitland Regional Art Gallery (NSW, Australia). 

    Opens Feb 3rd 2018 and goes to April 29th. Of course I'd love it if you came to the show :) MRAG website is here.

    Thanks Headwax. Method used for the last one was Dynamic Auto Painter using the Aqua-Real filter, also adjusted some more of the additional settings with the Aqua-Real filter.

    Very nice version, again the colour variant catches my eyes.

    Here's one I did the other day -  m4 holding an imaginary baby.... as you do.

    I rendered out a normal map (attached) of the scene then used that  as a black and white base for the image

    then rendered out a shadow pass and combined that with the diffuse pass and a few different toonpro renders to get the line work

    nice stuff

    not sure if this will work

    the first render is Dartanbeck's badlands product via Carrara in three d Spherical - if you click the link it gives you a VR image - it takes a while to come to full res

    http://2vr.in/V-1F3O

    hmm link won't work :(

    Great set thanks Dart

    thanks Bunyip02 :) this is what I was trying to post yesterday a virtual 3d render of that bad lands NPR

    http://2vr.in/V-1FVN

     

    have to wait a minute while the correct resolution gets reached

    HW - that works really well - and great render of a great set!

  • DiomedeDiomede Posts: 15,165

    HW - wonderful job creating a 360 NPR image of badlands.  I love that set.  More often kitbashing pieces than using the whole set, but I had never thought to make a 360 NPR.  Do you then apply an NPR render with the 360 in the background?  Would the background get a double NPR?

    Thanks for giving me a lot to ponder and experiment with.

    Was that an NPR image, or was it a low-res PR image?   Whatever the label, it looked very cool!

    thanks Diomede :) I just rendered out spherical camera shot and did the same type of render passes as per usual - then worked them up in Topaz and Filter Forge and Waterlogue . Also used the photoshop art filters stacked that I learnt about in that poser video I posted a while back. Just a little of each. Then I uploadede the result to that 3d viewere website. The stacked filters work very well! The only difference was the toon!Pro render was crammed together along the horisontal meridian and didn't fit with the others - maybe if I stretched it out it would?

     

    looking forward to seeing what you make!!

    thanks UB it's a spherical PR render worked up in the same way as usual :)  3000 by 1500 pixels approx

    wonderful Diomede, its terrific seeing how Brash has come along. ! Now the adventure begins!!!

     

    @Ub looking forward to seeing what the challenge may bring :) hopefully we can lure some studio users from their npr thread when they see what carrara can do (I ave been bashing their ears for a while :) )

    Thanks for the comments, UB and HW.  For NPR images, I really do feel that the Carrara-rigged Brash figure can hold its own.  Now  just need to fine tune the Moxie figure a little more.

    Dragons! Excellent.   Love it when renders don't look like computer output.  

    Although I like the way Carrara NPR builds images through brushstrokes, it does have some disadvantages.  I think there is a patch of reversed normals (blank white) where the underside of the left wing is visible in the top image.  

    You've really mastered the different features and render engines of Carrara quickly.  I am so jealous.

    Don't worry, Brash always perseveres.  yes

     

  • VyusurVyusur Posts: 2,235

    Thank you a lot, Diomede. Yes, I also think that the reason of blank areas is the normals. But I don't know if it's possible to use double sided normals in Carrara.

    Your Brash rocks! Why don't you want to rig him in DS for more wide usage?
