After You will also Know that some of rendering mode quality still survives and merges pretty good with the lined cartoon effect, I had to draw nothing, This was all done by filters. 2 FILTERS WERE USED and it only took seconds.

Well, here's my attempts in Photoshop... no third party plugins, just use of smartblur, and brightness/contrast, as well as layer blending... The Original, a contest entry I did for the 3D-CC a few months ago...

I keep seeing mentions of psp. Amazon are currently offering psp for 36 uk, is this going to be the full app for this price? If so it would be worth buying. This looks good.

using this process

it is best to limit your lights in the scene, too many will not allow this process to work very well, works best with no more then 3 lights best with one or 2 lights. too many lights blows off too much info and ten paint shop pro cant extrapolate the info to create a lined drawing from the image that makes any sence. I had takeyour image into a 3rd filter because you eithe used fewer lights then 2 or more the 3 hat made the image hard for pint shop pro to make a cartoon image but it did an here it is.

99.9% Poser, 0.1% postwork.

I am a firm beliver that if you did not do any post work at all then the computer is the artist. Then all you did is play with a mouse.

Valandar ( ) posted Fri, 18 January 2002 at 12:14 PM

I must disagree, Mesh. Art is the taking of a vision in the mind, and making it visible to others. A computer cannot do that. And if you can achieve outstanding results without post work, then you are an excellent digital artist, IMHO.

While you definitely have an interesting effect going, I don't really think of that as a cartoon effect, not in the classic sense. Maybe in a Shrek or Toy Story sense.

As for no postwork = no artistic statement, I disagree with that. I don't consider the hours I spend on texturing, choosing colors and props, and adjusting poses "playing with a mouse." I do postwork on just about all of my images, but mostly to correct problems in the original render.

Anyway, when I want a cartoony effect, I do what I posted above. ;)

Well I like to change what the computer did sO i can fell I did not rely 100 percent on the software to do the artwork, nothing more then that, if that offends you then sorry. anyway here is some more stuff done using the process above.

vicky done this way.

LittleMouseOnaHonda ( ) posted Fri, 18 January 2002 at 5:57 PM

Looks like you had too many lights going to get this effect correct, try it with one light and see , the light cant be too bright either.

LittleMouseOnaHonda ( ) posted Fri, 18 January 2002 at 5:59 PM

I guess youy have not read any image comics, And by the way rthis process works better with a textured figure rather then an untextured one.

I use postwork and other enhancements when necessary, but it's challenging to see how much can be accomplished with Poser alone. Ultimately, the tools don't matter; it's the end result that's important. It's still art, whether you're rendering a carefully assembled scene on a Macintosh or painting a bison in soot on a cave wall in Lascaux.

Back to the subject. Here's a test image I made recently. The one on the left is straight out of Poser. The one on the right is the same image, with additional postwork in Paint Shop Pro.
