    Scrappy & Elorn WIP-1 - Not an Entry

    WIP - Scene, used the SciFi Corridor A which had a load of instances in it

    Used a Plugin called DAZ Studio to fix the instances - Instances to Objects - https://www.daz3d.com/instances-to-objects

    Test Render

    Used Topaz Adjust

    Used PhotoDonut to get a Graphic Art look to the render

    Scrappy & Elorn WIP-2 - Not an Entry

    Opened the PhotoDonut image as an extra layer with the render in PSP, adjusted the Opacity of the PhotoDonut image until I got enough detail showing

    Did the Speech Bubble in PSP and added an Alien Font Text, you will need a good imagination to work out what is being said !

    Test render - is a little dark

    Used a one-step fix in PSP

    Stezza - Catoon the exterminator.  Hilarious.

    Bunyip - I've never tried instances to objects.  Thanks for the tip.  yes

    Bunyip, I apologize for not chipping in sooner.  I will get a WIP (or two) done eventually, but there is a major project that will take most of my forum time in the coming months. 

    Maybe that is a good thing.  I get tired reading posts that tell me that I should be using Blender instead of Carrara. angry

    Another cartoon Challenge, eh?  In the previous one, it was a bit of a slog to get participants.  Hopefully you will have better luck. yes

    Then again, I would be happy doing toons for every Challenge.

    Thanks for the interesting tip regarding Instances to Objects.  I didn't even know that such a product existed.

  • Bunyip02Bunyip02 Posts: 8,334

    Instances To Objects - the more instances there are the more objects there will be and the greater the file size will be !

    I had to stop my major project for this challenge so I know how you feel !

    Would like to see Carrara posts in the Carrara Forum....

    After all the doom and gloom of the last 4 months I definately needed something a bit more enjoyable, hopefully everyone else feels the same way. The net is fairly wide from comics to cartoons, cover pages to Graphic novels, should be plenty of oppurtunities for everyone !

    Would also be happy doing toons, plenty of scope there.

    Instances to Objects is a very handy tool, just note that for very large Howie type scenes there is also a corresponding increase in size of the file that has been converted !

    Wow!

    Hello Dart, have you got time to get away from that major project of yours and do a render or two ?

    sorry to be so slow, doing tax and crap 

    "Boy finds spaceship in back yard." - as you do

    Took Luna lander and retxtured it with another spaceships texture no longer available here, used Shader Map 4 to extract a normal map of the new spaceship texture, combined old texture and new texture in shader room using Fenric's layer tool - you can select multiply overlay screen dissolve etc

    post work with affinity pro tone map, fotodonut, topaz simplify, for the sky I ran a photograph through Topaz Impression to make it look hand done

    used obj pass to isolate elements in the render

    then used an old landscape painters' trick where you make a horizontal foreground compositional elements quite dark to give  a sense of atmospheric depth 

    prepostwork attached :) I used Carrara inbuilt Toon Pro thing as well and rendered out a shadow pass so I could add them back into the render if necessary

    will upload a b and w one as well

    here's two more variations

    Colour one tone mapped into b and w

    Second one is a colour layer placed over the b and w one. Which is my preference as the first colour one is too pastellly

    Pencil like texture is from fotodonut

    Better to be sure with your tax !

    Nice find in the backyard, would make a great Cubbyhouse !!

    With Fenric's layer tool I assume you are referring to the Layer Blending tool, have included a couple of screenshots for those who are unfamiliar with it.

    1. Click on your Color Channel

    2. Click on Fenric

    3. Click on Layer Blending

    4. Click on Layer Blending Mode - choose one.
