Hey there guys,

this looks great. I’m trying this in Maya but im havint trouble at the stage where have to get the mesh to ocsillate once per frame to get the layered opacity look. Any help?

Cheers x

Click Jeremiah’s linky. The forum, I think on page 2 has a blend file for you to play with. “Painting with Polygons” reminds alot of ZBrush’s 2.5D brushes. But at least you can simulate the technique in Blender. :)

Wow, I can just imagine one VERY cool looking kids movie using this. I say kids because of the comments above that seem to be more limited to what they see or want to see.

I get a hint of “twilight princess” meets “phantom hourglass” for some reason.

I’d love to see something BBB like done in this kind of style.

Very Interesting effect. Blender has so many drawers and hidden possibilities !

I don’t know if you remember the kind of images that could be rendered with very ancient Blender versions, when we stopped the rendering during the preparation stage.

I have downloaded the 2.34 release, loaded one of my old models and rendered this image with it :

The left image is the full render, and the right image is a mix of the full render and the color pattern generated by Blender while preparing to render. You can use different mixing process (Add, Multiply, Substract, darken…) as well as some filters, and get very interesting colors. It can be useful to create abstract paintings, as well as textures for exotic fabrics…

The effect and especially Benjy’s link, is most interesting but personally the look doesn’t appeal to me at all. I wonder how the look would appeal to a general audience ?

@Benjy : Seriously, thanks for he link. It got the concept across to me really quickly.

This is a pretty cool visual effect. I don’t think that I personally would use it it any of my works, but I would not mind seeing it used tastefully in someone else’s works. It looks pretty cool, from the description and examples shown in the video that Benjy posted the link to.
