Post subject: | Streaky Light Affect* |
Does anyone know how to do this streaky light affect, like in this blend here?: ![]() http://img309.imageshack.us/img309/3769/zf2rd.jpg I don't know if anyone here uses Gimp-that's what I use. If you don't just tell me how you do it in your program. Painting programs tend to be similar in their methods. ![]() Thanks. ![]() |

well, I don't know if this is exactly what you're looking for, but here's a tutorial I found (it's written for PS but you can probably adjust it for any program you're using): click-click-Magic Box-click Also, Arwen wrote a tut, too, for PSP: click-click-ArwenUndomiel-click I hope this helps! ![]() |

I think that one from Loleia's site just tells you how to blur. I have seen Arwen's tutorial, but I couldn't get the affect to look quite the blend of Aragorn^ Thanks though Gilly. ![]() |

It looks to me like the guy who made it duplicated his pic and then motion blurred it. He told me he used motion blur, but he wouldn't tell me anything else. He said it would be "stealing" his affect. Nonsense... it's not like he created the affect. So I just need the other details after that. 'Cause yeah, the streaks are spaced really nicely. I just wish I knew how to do it! |

I don't know what you'd do after using motion blur, except maybe Unsharp Mask, like in Loelia's tutorial... Whoever made that blend might have used a Diffuse Glow before blurring it. *shrugs* I can't help much more than that, sorry! ![]() |

I've already told you my way of doing it, but it's not exactly the same as this effect. ![]() But I hate people like that. They didn't come up with that idea, the idea came from the program maker. Anyway, it's fun to help other people with their graphics ![]() ![]() |

Oh... I got curious about this and tried it on a Legolas Blend... That's my result: ![]() It does not exactly look like the example, but it's near, isn't it? ![]() If anyone is interested, that's how I did it (beware of grammar mistakes...) I took my picture and duplicated the layer. On the duplicated one I used Motion Blur (45° and the highest Distance [I used 999 px]). After that you can set the layer to that what looks the best, I think I used linear Light or something like that in this one. Now you can play around with textures till you're satisfied. I hope this helped a bit ^^ |

oO thats really pretty!! I tried it too and this is what I got... not half as good as the Aragorn one ... but slightly similar ...? His is more of a smudge though ... i wonder how he did that... ![]() |
