My first few experiments with UVing! I’ve been really enjoying my Maya class, though I fell a little behind the week I was away for SDCC. Feeling very lucky to have had the opportunity to take this course. I’ve been in a bit of a rut art wise and this has atleast been making create things and practice a new skill. . . . #maya3d #studentart #aau #lowpoly #uv #practice #sanfrancisco #peach #barrel #handpaintedtextures #phototexture https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tsn6agUdF/?igshid=1kx5epzvunkxz

#Repost @nvogtphotography • • • During a recent meetup I was able to capture this wonderful portrait of cosplayer @cosimevil . After a few weeks of working with this image in PS, I researched and decided to add the collodion-like wet plate effect and created this image. I was happy with my photoshop results here! . . #photoshop #photography #canon #portraiture #darkroom #portrait #collodian #texture #layeredwork #blackandwhite #blackandwhitephotography #picture #girl #antique #finish #phototexture #photofinish #overlay #freeshoot #photoshootout https://www.instagram.com/p/BtzBZLCjYBG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fo6zl8w1nbcn

Ddraig Goch, perhaps the most famous creature in all of Wales, featured on the national flag the dragon is an important symbol of Welsh culture. These magnificent beasts can range from bright red and copper in colour to a glistening metallic gold. - #smaugust #smaugust2020 #santafeartist #artauction #artoftheday #artwork #artist #santafenewmexico #newmexicoart #newmexicoartist #newmexico #lowbrowart #lowbrow #lowbrowartist #fineart #fantasyartist #drawingchallenge #ozfireartauction #artforfires #santafeart #marathon #epatageart #augustdrawingchallenge #dragonmarch #utahartist #instaart #instaartist #artistoninstagram #paintersofinstagram #phototexture https://www.instagram.com/p/CDiu7CAjcva/?igshid=1egu8latxqrlg

The Pudding Problem Part 2: Creating A ‘Painterly’ Skin

           Join me as I explore exactly why pudding exists, and ways to fix it!

                                                 Previous post here!

In the Sims community, there tends to be two main poles of thought in CC creation- Maxis-Match, which emphasizes clean and smooth textures, and Photo-Realism, which utilizes phototexturing to add details to sims. While there are already many wonderful contoured skins that fall in between the two, I wanted to explore another avenue of approach.

My Goals

Looks like digital painting, with a ‘style’

Has to support realistic facial proportions (the texture has to be the style)

Smooth enough to match existing game content (which is already stylized)

Enough toning & contouring to look good in any lighting

Detailed enough to not require too much skin detail makeup

Relatively quick and repetitively easy to create

* A small aside, I refer to detail as smaller facial details like facial creases/wrinkles; toning refers to the overall shading, and contouring uses tones to define the face, the same way it’s done with makeup

Gruesim graciously allowed me the use one of their textures and a sim (I tweaked it a bit) for this quick proof-of-concept. As such, we are starting with a photo-realistic skin and abstracting away all the extra details while trying to keep the crispness and larger strokes. This is of course only one way to do it, you could also paint in the textures like a normal person ;)

You can right-click and view the images to see a higher-resolution versions.

(Above: Original textures and HQ skin. All sim photos are in-game; I am using Simtanico’s Survive contacts)

I downscaled the image to 1024p (to increase the scale of the brushwork) and exported the texture as a .jpg to Fotosketcher, which is a free painting generation program. After opening the image, I selected these settings:

This produced an initial abstracted texture which I then took into Photoshop. The first step needed to be done as Photoshop’s oil paint filter would have had too much detail to work with, and you would end up with too much noise. I then put it through the oil paint filter using these settings:

With a rough oil brush, I then quickly touched a few areas to simplify them. I repeated these steps with the body and scalp textures as well, and adjusted the brightness and saturation. Optionally, you can then upload the face texture to waifu2x as an artwork without any noise reduction, and scale 2x up to 2048p. I skipped this step because it wouldn’t have made a difference without the HQ mod. Let’s see what this looks like in-game!

Not too bad! Even at at a performance-friendly 1024p, the skin still retains enough of its overall details, while the contours created by the oil paint filter add an additional level of definition. It has the shading needed to keep it from feeling too flat, but is still smoother than a photo-realistic skin. I could even edit the normal and specular maps to add skin creases and shine- Cyberyeezus has a good tutorial on that, which I’ve found backed-up here. I could also try editing the hair to give it a bit of a sheen so it doesn’t look too flat either.

Below are some other views in normal gameplay, from different perspectives with different lighting conditions. There’s no HQ mod used, and very little photo-editing beyond a little bit of brightening to fix the camera’s darkness.

Obviously a lot more could be done to create an even more stylized appearance as it’s still not smooth and cartoony enough for the surroundings (even dialing down the contrast & saturation could help), and some more work would need to be done if I wanted to make the skin usable on more sims. I’ll keep on experimenting, but regardless, I think this quick test shows that a ‘painted’ skin could work!

                                                 To be continued...?

I hope you enjoyed this lil’ experiment, thanks again to @gruesim for the template skin!

            Also thanks to @mspoodle1 and @simtanico for their opinions!

Seminar on Visual effects and aerial photography for the visualisation of landscape heritage. -Dr. Kieran Baxter-

-air photography (elements of the eart from the photography and animation to complete whats missing from am ancient building)

-photography with compositive animation

-arthography view

-always use the horizon (in filming or your shots)

-photogrammetry: when you take a number of shots from the object that you want, in order to create a 3D model (horizontal and vertical shots, 3D model, light measurements)

-Take a shot and then pass it in photoshop or a 3D software and design it

-phototextures-photograph-replicate (DSLR cameras do have gps equipment)

-4k camera

-oblique photography (way of shooting in order to add more landscape and elements of the horizon)

-topofly.com

-geometry/modeling: photogrammetry models

-flat lighting as possible and then you add color and textures, thats the basic procedure

*After the green screen and the seminar in photogrammetry we stared working on nuke in order to separate the figure from the green screen.
