PREVIEW: Cut 'n Paste Pack v. 1.0!

[Dease]

Ok, Here's 16 smoke effects from ofx, I've divided them into 4 categories

1. regularity = 0.1
2. regularity = 0.3
3. regularity = 0.5
4. regularity = 0.8

The more "regular" the smoke is, the more rounded-ish it is
in these four categories are -

1. noise smoothness = 0.5
2. noise smoothness = 1
3. noise smoothness = 2
4. noise smoothness = 4

the higher the number, the less little bits there are.
the storyboards are named after this as well, if reg=0.1 and ns=2 the storyboard will be named "smoke01-2"
I'll do a preview for the different regularity categories, they all have NS of 1, the others will just be more or less smooth
(sorry for the large preview sizes )

Here is my first try of the palette. There are some problems yet. The lightest colors of the belt do mix up with the darkest of the foots. Another problem is the point of the spotlight. Also we have to define the Civ- Smoke- and Shadow-colors.

Hrrmm.... do you have any suggestions for this?

What exactly have you done? Were you able to convert the parts to other colors?

Sure. 155 0 155 as main color of the shadow (index 249) - see the image.

Just made a palette for this colorful man. I think that some parts of him are too illuminated. Mat colors would be better.

Mat colors? I don't understand....

 

[Aluminium]

Lesser shining.

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Oh... well, actually, originally, I turned the "shining" off completely... but I thought more shine would add greater difference in the colors...

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Also Aluminium: out of curiousity, what colors did you try to go with there for the head and hands? is that supposed to be a flesh color?

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Do you think I should change the color of the feet (or the hip area) in order to prevent them from being confused? If so, what color would work?

 

[Dease]

DP,
for the props, did you want something like the attached image? (with all 8 directions of course )

 

[Dom Pedro II]

I think that'll work just fine... but is the helmet dipping below the "floor"? Looks kind of like it is.

Btw, I didn't say so earlier, but thanks for the explosion effects! Well... that's ONE person contributing... and even the man who came up with the idea hasn't posted anything yet... (yours truly)

it does looks like that, although it's not since it doesn't even move The camera is what's moving.

I think it would be good to link to the posts with stuff for the c&p'ers from the frist post or else lots of stuff will get lost if this project catches on.

I've also got a few more props that I'll do this weekend

 

[Dom Pedro II]

Well... ideally, we'll get a Stickied thread either here on the main C&C forum or in the Units Forum... And it will all be compiled there for easy access.

sounds good

will sid be armed for the various movements or will he just be doing the movements and the c&p'ers just put whatever prop they want on him?

Also should the props be multicoloured like sid so people can change the colours using a palette?

EDIT: sid's forearms look rather huge in comparison to the rest of him

This is actually Kinboat's Paperdoll model... the one he uses for all of his stuff... so if there's an issue with the forearms... Not my fault...

Sid will not be armed for the various movements. The c&p'ers will just put whatever prop they need in there... but there's so many movements done that I'd be really surprised if they couldn't manage.

Here is a image of the 'Hue map' from PSP. This tool let you replace one or more colors very fast. Perhaps, we should use this colors for the body parts. But I think the colors need the the same lightness. I will make some tests.

Forget the second picture. It was just a test.

Seems to me that a purple color could cause some problems with the shadows... not to mention the fact that there are several blues which might conflict...

but if you think it can work, I'm sure willing to try.

The last two shifts change shadow and background color. Red, green (144°) and cyan of Sid work good. Cyan should be darker.

I noticed that myself... ok, will do.


So does that mean I should get rid of brown and gray altogether?? I mean, this might work for Paintshop, but I think it'll cause big problems for Photoshop.

 

[Aluminium]

How do you change the colors in PS? Are two versions a problem? One for PSP and on for PS?

The brown of the belt is part of the red (0°). I would replace the gray.
