wow...seeing some interesting stuff in this thread. Makes me flash back to a different time. Welcome to all the 3dc "rats" (said lovingly). I had forgotten the turkey picture from back then.

wow.
...makes me want to dig up the old stuff and add to this trip down memory lane.

Quote - Battlestar Galactica from the former Sci Fi channel was not to shabby ;)

Until the Frakin end. Then it blew chunks. It was like they had no idea how to wrap it up, so they just made some crap up. The ending more or less ruined the entire series for me.

couldnt have said this better...
last season sucked...and the last ep of the last season sucked the suck to a whole new level of suckiness!

lol

heresy...

BT

ps..how you doin' phil (staigermanus)? haven't heard from you in a while

heresy!!!

yeppers..I believe this'll fill the bill
thanx all!
BT

not even close...

see this link:

sorry but v4 is way more accurate than that picture and it needs to be realistic to hold her attention (shes 6 and she knows when something isnt "barbie"...lol)
but thanx anyhow..

I found a vid where he does it in front of a crowd...so I guess hes on the up and up.  But...odd that the  other faces arent as detailed as this one.

:)

think when I get my new OS installed, I'll try this as a "fake" technique.  It'll be fun for "gits and shiggles".
still seems like her face doesnt match the rest of the site and is too real based upon other items.  However, doesnt really matter.  In a hundred years..who'll care.

for that matter, who'll care next week? lol

:)

still was interesting to watch happen.
BT

ya think so?
I know there are people who can paint realistically.  My friend used to date an artist with the talent you talk about above.  You could not tell it was a painting...other than to see it was on canvas.  Be it animal, vegetable, mineral, person, or scene...she was amazing.

I know I may be a bit skeptical of the image because Ive watched it again and again and see things that dont make sense.
Perhaps if I steer the answer.
what if its not tracing, what if its layers on layers and the eraser is being used to show the layers beneath?  look at the other art there...of people.  None have the power of her face.  Of course, we've all been beaten to death with megan fox, but I still wonder.  I hope he is that talented.  He's amazing if he is.  I just cant help be think that part of it is real (the car, background, and maybe jeans and t) and part of it is "revealed" by using the eraser and layers.

However....if hes not faking.  Does anyone think they personally could fake such an image and animation? I think I can by using the "reveal" method as I described above. In fact, I think I may try it just for the heck of it and post it as a response to the image.  It'd take a while to set up and do...but it'd be "the other side of the coin" as it were.

still, interesting to think about.  No disrespect to the artist intended btw. Just being pessimistic I guess. 

:)
interesting to watch happen at any rate regardless of how its done.  Inspirational to see someone use photoshop to such a painterly quality.

BT

heh AS
never said I was "average"....lol
in fact, looking at comments in my gallery today..most called me nuts..especially with the crystal palace render

oh well, have resigned myself to another month waiting on my upgrade cd and another day putting it all back together.  Life goes on.  If this were all I had to stress over, I'd have an easy life.

lol
BT

not according to the ms site
have to do clean install

spent all day yesterday getting this version of windows installed..that after almost 2.5 months of fighting with microsoft to get the frickin' 64 bit version sent that I ordered...ended up with 3 disks but they had a order problem.

anyhow..after getting it and installing it and installing my programs and getting drivers and even having to get a new wireless 64bit compatible modem I find that only one processer is being used.

so to fix it, I have to get ultimate...do a clean install..which means losing all my programs again and reinstall it all again.

I love upgrading OS...just love it.
its never any easier.
was the same from 95 to 98 to millenium to xp and now vista.

as for stability..so far its wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more stable than xp ever was on the big computer...but that may be due to only using one processor..or it may be because it can actually use the ram that it has.

BT

well....
hell
