during a recent recreational z-session i started fiddling with the spray stroke used when working with a 3d-object and zadd off. in this case it was a 3d-ring at reduced coverage and one spiked end. after switching off "continuous" in the picker palettes orientation settings and fiddling with the icon there i quickly achieved something that looked like rocks. changing orientation / size / deforming the object now and then / rgb-intensity / draw windows height-width and depths settings helped a lot. later on a 3d-cube was used the same way. as this was started on a layer i had already painted with something similar to a sky i tried to make the best of the darn sky by applying a horizontally orientated fiberbrush with drag-rectangle stroke which is responsible for the pencillike look up there.

i hope someone might find this inspiring and the "technique" worthwhile to give at a try :)

was done a few days ago and was my second saved attempt using the new filterbrushes - started as an abstract doodle, that suddenly made me view something in there, so i started drawing lines to let it take shape :D

These are outstanding, especially the second one, which I wouldn't mind hanging on my wall

Being an ole' psychedelic refugee myself Hansl, I have to admit I really liked the second one, but the technique on the first one is really cool...I render CONSTANTLY while I work, so I can see how something will work, and when I'm doing a model, in 1.5 I've gotten used to painting heavily textured backgrounds with Alpha and Color Spray, with ZAdd turned on...That seems to be one of the really cool things about 1.5 is that you can paint with anything! ;)

:cool: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :tu: :cool:
Nice work on both of them! :tu:

I like both of them; being something of an 'aging flower child' myself, the second one does take me back to my younger years, but both are very nice indeed.

As usual, Juandel, very helpful technical information and excellent artwork as well. :tu: :tu: :tu: :) :) :)

Nice work, Juandel - I shall have to give this a try. Always nice to have a selection of techniques logged away for doing things in different ways. Spraybrush rocks (however you interpret that statement)!

Thanks for the tip Juandel. It sounds like an insteresting technique. I really like the first, but like the colors and effects of the second :tu:

thank you for the nice comments, all :)

using 3d-tools as a brushtip has - in combo with orientation mode - the advantage to overcome the alpha-rotate-restrictions that come with a few 2 and 2.5d brushes easily - and since we can create 3d-tools from alphas since v. 1.5.1 the alpha-skinning way: there shouldnt be any limits anymore :)

Wayne: :D interpretation - now that you said it i cant help myself to look at it as you do - but in fact i thought it looks like someone close to a heart-attac :(

BluePage, havran: that was done at default size, so i think you wouldnt like prints, blacklight or not :)

thanks again!

well deserved, and I'm scarce with praise!
I always like your doodles, and your finished pieces.

is the office still smothering you?
