Pictures

I have rendered the following images. Right now there isn't that many, but as I stay up later with nothing to do, I will render more cool stuff.

Lets get started with the show!

Text

I can render text on to textures, and add drop shadows. Its pretty simple, but combined with a good texture and an awsome font like DragonWick, the results are awsome.

Here is 2 good ones of my name, I used difference mode and several layers:

Renders and Layers

I fiddled around with layers and rendering filters to come up with an intresting one. Its the result of a plasma and a solid noise render on different layers then I did something to them to get the final image. I can't remember what I did though.

Patterns

There is 2 excellent tutorials on the gimp page. They are about making tilable patterns. I made the following pattern. The amazing thing is that this pattern is tileable. I tiled it and it works out perfectly. the process is intresting, and intresting patterns come out of the process.



The other tutorial is done on the original I just showed you, then you apply yet more filters to it to come out with the following 3 really funky images. Its amazing how this comes out of the previous example, but it did! After the original drawing I did for the first image, I never touched it with the drawing tools. just moves filters and other layer tricks. But the results are amazing. As with the previous example, these 3 are completely tileable. Amazing, after about 20 minutes with filters and such, you'd never think the tileablty would be preserved. But it was.



One last one for the road. Using 2 layers, and the render->flame and render->plasma, this is the result. Looks kinda groovy.
