I'm trying to color a site plan and I'd like to add shadows to buildings and trees, but don't know how to go about it. Drop Shadow is not going to work--I need to do this somehow manually.
View 7 RepliesI imported trees using Civil View which are images projected on planes. I was wondering if its possible to get the shadows more realistic? It currently displays the plane shadows which are 2 planes crossed in the shape of an "X". I also noticed on others' systems their tree objects are more 3d and not images draped on planes. Is this due to graphics card?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm having an extremely hard time blending two photos. I have the following two photos which I want to blend: and
What I want to do is keep the sky from the second image. I want the border to be at the top of the trees. Now the edge of the trees is very uneven and difficult to select.
So I thought I would get around this by using a layer mask. To achieve this I took one of the images:
- desaturated it/turned it into monochrome/or decompose it
- used either levels or curves to try and get us much contrast as possible
and then used the resulting image as a mask. Unfortunately what happens is I get what looks like chromatic abberation at the edge of the trees and sky. Look here:

When I try this I try with a paintbrush, but with a larger circle brush the result is to smooth and with a 1px brush it is to small?

I can make it with GIMP black/white, but how can i make it yellow???
I've tried doing this on similar close-ups of my own characters, but I can't get it as good as done here: I know it requires layers, and the smudge tool to get the results. But what is the technique used here where the lines are like 'marching ants"?------is this simply the 'magic wand' tool? I also reckon that Gaussian blur is used here also.
The steps are not made clear on this very effective technique---also the GIMP typeface/controls are not in English, but hopefully some good folks on here can recognize the style used here.....it's just the sort of thing I'm looking for to bring a bit of depth to my cartoon character shading.
I'd love to introduce this technique [ So far, I haven't been able to get the the dodge/burn tool to work as effectively as some other GIMP users can, but I'll certainly return to it].

View 7 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for some particular brushes and haven't had any luck finding any. I make aerial view illustrations of housing and commercial developments. Usually I am hand coloring them and scanning them into Photoshop for clean-up and text. Lately, however, we are wanting to do all the coloring in Photoshop and Illustrator which brings me to my problem. Since the linework is Autocad based, the trees look really bad (fake), so I'm trying to find tree brushes. I've been able to find plenty of brushes for elevation views, but I need aerial views. Has anyone run across any? We're currently using PS7, but I'm really close to getting CS2 out of them.

I have a site plan with trees which look like two crossed planes when looked in 3D black and white. I wonder if there is a way to smooth these trees so they look smooth at least during the time that I prepare a PDF of the black and white 3D Site Plan. If this setting can be reverted to the crossed trees after preparing the PDF, that is fine. Also at this time I am working with black and white 3D, so color is not an issue, only the smoothness of the trees. Is there a setting that can make these trees look smooth?

I know how to crop pics to get rid of unwanted image, but how do you straighten up buildings which are 'leaning' over? I've got some pics of tall buildings and want to s-t-r-e-t-c-h the tops of them so that they look vertical cos they look a bit strange at the moment.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI'm have an issue where my windows disappear behind my tree outline when I print. The trees are default revit deciduous trees. I have overridden element to make it 100% Transparent. Also I have tried to override it in visibility Graphics. [URL] ... Is this a problem with Revit 2014. This happens with both our paper printer, our plotter and adobe pdf so we know that its not a specific printer issue. Also it only happens in hidden line mode when changed to realistic mode, the windows print.
I have attached views of a printed to pdf view with the windows missing and a revit view of the same drawing before sent to the printer. As you can see it looks correct in my revit view.
Is there any easy way to drag a node from one extreme to another of a very larges tree? In nuke we have a modifier key that sticks the node at the cursor while you browse in the tree.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI am making a fiction map. I want a fast way to drop down mountains and trees and any repeating landscape. I figured a good way to do this would be to draw said tree or mountains and then set it to a brush preset, add some size jitter and spacing.
It works well except for 1 problem. The brush drops down images that are vaguely transparent so when 1 mountain overlaps another, it creates an overlay that looks horrible. As if the brush is 50% opaque.
