I was wanting to do this for my Afternoon Rain pic, but wasn't sure how. I have Photoshop 5.5, but never really use it. I have a new pic up on my web page where I tried it, maybe someone could look at it on my Vue Art Page? It's one of the last ones on the page. It's an Oregon Coast beach pic. thanks, dave

A foot font? Are you making this up? Is this in Photoshop, if so, where?

Hi Dave, Footprints can also be done using a terrain and boolean difference. This is a lot more work, but you can use the technique for tire tracks, etc. Gail

Hi all, one of the easy ways to do footprints is to export the terrain with 'copy' to photoshop...then paint footsteps into the terrain graymap and copy the result back into the Vue terrain editor. Worked for me... If you want to you could have a look at an old rendering (my third Vue pic) at the Artomania gallery as an example. Salesman Bob's greatest delivery...

I remember bringing up the boolean difference thing before (it works with infinite planes too) and someone suggested going to the terrain editor and carving prints into the terrain with the "dig" tool. That's another way of doing it, but I found Arto's method simpler... P'Shop's a LOT easier to paint with than that terrain editor!

Yes I agree! I forgot all about that technique. I never tried it, but Henriks pic looks great. Gail
