BigChrisSpirito Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) It's been a few years since I've made renders as I'm working on a Mac these days but I picked up a Windows laptop so I could play around in Photoshop and try my hand at making some renders. These are my first attempts and if there's enough interest I would be happy to share my creations. I'm using a combination of Topaz filter effects... most often I'm using Adjust-Detail Medium (twice) on each image then Adjust-Simple Pop. I'm not going for an exact WWE13 look as I'm trying to do something a little different. If you like em' let me know. If you hate them... I can take some criticism Topaz has loads of options so if you feel there's a filter I should try let me know. Edited September 3, 2013 by BigChrisSpirito Quote
Miztah Raza Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 They look good! I would, however, look in to setting some guides, so that the size of each render is the same. Right now, RVD is bigger than most other renders while Fandango is smaller than most others, know what I mean? Other than that, they look great Quote
BigChrisSpirito Posted August 31, 2013 Author Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) Thank you for the feedback Miztah Raza! I don't know how to size other than guess work... is there a perfect number to size them at? I saw a video where it said to make them 31.68 H and 31.68 W but then I still had to adjust the height and make them tall enough to fill the 256x512 image. When I tried them at those settings and only made sure they filled the height of the box some were way too thin such as Titus for example. What I did with each image was follow the video tutorial I watched and made them all 31.68 H & W then made sure to stretch them to fill the box and then adjusted the width of each image a tiny bit. Seems trial and error to me... am I wrong? Edited August 31, 2013 by BigChrisSpirito Quote
ItalianoFBI Posted August 31, 2013 Posted August 31, 2013 All I can say is that regarding the 31.68% in height & width, this is kind of a hard thing to go by if you're using images of different sizes. Quote

BigChrisSpirito Posted September 1, 2013 Author Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) This is the effect I've been using on all my renders thus far and I think it looks pretty clean in game. I first sharpen the image then run it through Topaz with 2 or 3 different filters and then before I save it I punch up the vibrance. Thought...??? Edited September 1, 2013 by BigChrisSpirito Quote
