Awesome digital bokeh effect in Photoshop Our last Wallpaper of the Week was an image I had created using Pixelmator, and I really liked the outcome. The best part about it was that it was pretty easy to accomplish in Pixelmator, but I decided for perspective's sake to create the same effect in Photoshop. The process is easy as well, but with a few extra steps. As in the previous tutorial, I will show you how to create a digital bokeh effect, but this time in Photoshop. The process is very easy and we will be using the super powerful Brush Engine, one of the coolest things in Photoshop. Step 1 Create a new document in Photoshop. Step 2 Select the Ellipse Tool (U), and create a circle. Step 3 Select the ellipse and go to Edit>Define Brush. Step 4 Go to Window>Brushes (F5). Step 5 Before we start painting our bokehs let's create a new layer and fill it with a colorful gradient. Step 6 Let's create a new Folder in our Layer Palette. Step 7 Go to Filter>Blur>Gaussian Blur. Step 8 Create another layer and paint more brushes. Step 9 Conclusion
Andrew Hoyer | The Cloth Simulation - StumbleUpon A little more detail: What makes this simulation special is the speed at which everything is computed. Javascript (the language this is written in) is not exactly the most efficient language for this type of computation. This being said, much time was spent squeezing out every little detail that slows things down. The most computationally expensive part is trying to satisfy the constraints. "Boring!" No. Maybe a little more detail: Another pretty neat thing about this simulation is how all the constraints are satisfied. As it turns out there is a really simple solution to this problem. Knowledge is power: If you're interested here are some links: Advanced Character Physics This article (or paper...) is my inspiration for doing this simulation.

Peacock by *Eranthe on deviantART Web tutorials and free templates | Water Dress Step 1 Let's start from the beginning. Create new document (I used 960x1280px) and fill it with #909090. Now using Blending option apply Gradient Overlay for Layer 1. Step 2 Now let's find a model which will wear our Water Dress. Step 3 Now let's find a material for Water Dress. We only need a top part of this image (which by the way looks like a dress). Tip: It doesn't have to fit perfect, we will match this later. Step 4 Grab Magic Wand Tool (W), set Tolerance to 5 and delete blue background (select areas and hit Delete). Tip: If You use different splash image, You may have to use higher/lower Tolerance (depends on image) or even different selection method. Step 5 Change "dress" layer Blending Mode to Luminosity. Step 6 Duplicate "dress" layer, set Blending Mode to Overlay and lower Opacity to 40%. Tip: Try to experiment with Burn Tool (O) brush size and Exposure setting. Step 7 It's almost finish. Tip: Try to experiment with Sharpen Tool (R) brush size and Exposure setting. Final result

Check out the more robust, Sailor Moon Dress Up 3.0! Follow in the steps of Sailor Moon and create your very own Sailor Scout, or Sailor Senshi. It's funny, I never watched Sailor Moon myself, but I had always been a huge fan of the clothing styles and transformation sequences. Because the first release of this game was relatively simple in terms of outfits, I made sure to include a large color selection.

Digital Blasphemy 3D Wallpaper: Updates There are canvas and poster versions available too! I rendered this one for single-screen first and the multiscreen version is rendering now on Bucephalus. I know a lot of you aren't nearly ready for winter yet (I know I'm not) but, as the Starks have said, it's coming. My first snowy render of the year is the winter version of "Autumn Revelation". I was pretty happy with the cloud setup in the autumn version, but managed to tweak them a bit so they wouldn't look exactly the same (since this pic is supposed to be a whole new season). A couple of new additions to the gallery to mention this morning... There are many advantages to being a 2D artist over a 3D artist. That's what I've done with "Autumn Revelation". I hope you enjoy it! Check out the rest of my Autumn here! "A Sincere Pumpkin Patch" was my homage to Charles Schultz's classic. The jack-o-lantern was modeled using Zbrush (though most of the details ended up getting glared out). Check out the rest of my Halloween here!
