Figured out how to get a good picture of the Fire Dragon I printed thanks to @Mark_Wheadon and his #VelocityPainting methods. Still looks better in person, but this is close…
Hi @John_Roth if you’ve got a way to control your focal distance, you might want to try CombineZP:
I’ve used this in the past and it’s great; just take multiple shots at different focal lengths and the software combines them to make a single shot with the whole object in sharp focus.
Make sure you hit the right download button (lower right, pale green, trusted download) as the site is covered in fake ones in ads…
You know, this would very well for a tabby cat or to enhance a wood filament design. Actually - given the “Brighton Rock” application, that would probably work best.
@Mark_Wheadon Can we wrap patterns yet? For a cat I would need to do that:-)
@Louise_Driggers I’m afraid I’ve nothing that sophisticated yet. I’ve started reading around UV mapping, but the triangles that are mapped from the model to the UV map don’t even exist once the model has been sliced, so it’s non-trivial. However I intend to experiment with a spherical mapping next – so provided the cat is extremely well fed that may work quite well!
@Louise_Driggers And with that quip I realise that I’m not really joking. One could do a tabby pattern, map it onto the model, then stretch and pinch the pattern with something like Photoshop’s liquify and iterate until the pattern sits happily on the cat – something I did in a very crude way with your Adalinda.
Hi @John_Roth , yes, those pictures are much better!
@Louise_Driggers You do the hard work of providing the magnificent moggy and I’ll be more than happy to have a play around and see if I can persuade a convincing tabby pattern onto it. No guarantees of success of course.
