Oil paint effect

[artisan00]

Ok, I have this image i want to use in mr model as a painting. the image will be a painting in the scene. How should i set the settings/maps of teh shader to get it to look like it was done in oil paint?
also...blinn or phong?

try making an oil painting and scan a photograph of it No seriously speaking, you might be over your head here... There are a few plugins around for 2d comp that might do the trick.

Or you might use paint fx.

You also may want to look into messing with any toon shaders that might be floating around in here. The only real problem is that you wil NOT be able to get that look from procedurals. the only real way to do anything like you are looking for would probably be to scan in painted textures, or use some 2d plugins in aprogram like after effects. i thikn they have som pretty sweet looking plugins like that.

thanks....cool thing is that there are no lights used
paint effects is really neat...but seems to be a little slow...
fur is still slow...but faster than PFX

Never say "it can't be done".

[jtk77]

what kinda graphics card are you using ? Some read paintFX faster than others for sure.

LF is great but has one disadvantage... It is waay too slow for large scale production. But you could use it for very short animations.

Allso tewaking lf is pain in the ass but quite revarding. Been testing lf for some 3-4 months now. Cool software.

oh yea thats some amzing technology . I'm sure it will be to the point of commercial use before too long. AS computers get faster these things will get easier to use I 'm sure.

Quite good (a bit jerky sometimes) but it renders for eons. I had plans to investigate more closely on the inner working of this software, and make it accept more than 3 channels of info. And instill some form of a search field that would make the animations better.

But then a new project dropped in and...

Another solution would be to use Reelsmart videogogh, go to http://www.revisionfx.com/http://www.revisionfx.com/

I would use a phong (if you're not animating, if animating - blinn) and bring the cousine power up (Blinn - bring down the eccentricity). Map the same image as a bump. Then raytrace with the correct refr indx (which you will find on the net). Should work.
