I like that last one, looks like glass.

LOL ... looking good Lyle!
Congrats on your purchases.

Thanks Amanda; many years of know how (no joke) on how to convert things to glass. lol

Yeah; had less then 5 hours sleep last night because of you Rod. lol

Still, this cool program was on my wish list for quite some time now, so not one thing less on my list. Again, I bet some really cool things can be done if you had a pad.

OK; since both of you gave me some kind feedback, an early Christmas gift to you both.

I love the blown glass look of those!

Thanks 2-ton.

and how did you figure out how to write with this?

I created a a slower broad sweep brush to accommidate my mouse since I don't have a pad. Believe it or nor, Flame Painter saves the brush as a simple PNG file; have no idea how it embeds the data for it's own use, but it does. Below's the brush. For Flame Painter users, just put it in your brushes folder.

Beautiful glasses L !

Thanks PC (just don't ask me to spell out PhotoComix; lol).

Lyle ... I mean Mr. Krolsky! This is a good one!!!

Did you know you can upload your brush on the Flame Painter site so others can use it too?!

Flame Painter Brushes - Share your favorite brushes

I put one up there, it's called Fiberglass. Looks like this:



I gave yours a whirl too .. didn't put it through any post processing tho'

I change the color of the Fiberglass brush from red to a dark purple for the background!
Good stuff! Thanks Lyle!!

Yeah; saw that but wasn't sure if a brush was already there that was similar. I guess I could share it there and they can decide if it's worthy or not. Thanks for the comments MrBiggz

edit:

Looks like there site is having technical difficulties; I can get to the part to upload, but I get an error after trying. Oh well.

By the way, I like darken better then light; might actually change the brush because of that. Again, thanks MrBiggz.

edit:

OK; attaching the new brush.

I made this really simple ribbon and it has an alpha background. If you throw that in Gimp with a black background layer you'll see it really well.



How would I go about applying a pattern to the existing? I tried Gimpressionist and I was at it for 20-30 minutes or so and my results were futile.

Something that looks like this not exactly the same though. I just thought it was an interesting technique.



Most of you guys and gals are geniuses at this!

Thanks for the help!

Try Double Difference lighten and Darken layers since you have an object w/ transparant background. Note, you need to merge all layers before applying another background. See attached zip file for what I'm talking about.

That's nice Lyle! Now, I'm going to be a complete noob and ask, how'd you figure that combination out? Cause I'm not knowing!

Years and years of experience (literally). Have used this trick on more then one occasion, but it only works on the special case of an extracted object with transparancies. Hope you like the trick. I've never shared this one before.

That is pretty sweet! I just hope I can remember it! Lettuce me try something now!!

Here's my try!

It's like seeing Sculpture Gen crossed with Fluid Painter.
Very cool.

I look all around and i can't find anywhere.....is this softwer need to install on computer?
