did you upload them from your hard drive or try to upload them from another server? only from your hard drive will do.

 

once up-loaded and it show's you the specific cga url, copy that address and past it into some IMG tags you see below :)

Ok...

Due to many requests...

Here are my impressions about Piranesi:

First of all, it´s very easy to manange, interface is quite old but it works fine...

to achieve that result, the model must be saved on a specific format(.EPX).

No panic! there´s a free plugin to almost every 3d package on market, as long as use Viz 4, I´ve just downloaded the file, install it, and just work on Viz as usual.

at this point if you planning to use Piranesi, you must render the file and choose the output file as the .epx.

Now the things came fun...

Open Piranesi, load the file and put all you want on scene, after you consider it ready, just use the re render button, fill it with white pait...

All your work become a white screen...

choose one of those brushes,l select the option edge and start to pass it on the white screen and magicalli the draw appears...

you can change the colour of the trace, the background...

It is a good program an produces great effects

Well this is different, it works on Adobe Phoshop and his main goal is that he allows us to create some natural effects on a picture...

the thing goes like this:

first create a new layer, copy the background onto it and now is that the fun starts...

use the magic wand to select the sky(i suppose that in Max you did not use any kind of enviroment map), and simply cut it off,if you want to create some water on it, create another layer and using the brush tool, erase a part you want to cover with water...

:rolleyes: Now start Aurora and play with the controls until you be satisfied, you can crate a stunning sky, a mysterious haze, a nigth full of stars(for that I prefer to use the Universe)...

as they say it´s the natural plugin for Adobe Photoshop

On the next chapter Uncle Zortea will tell you something about Auto FX Mistical Ligths

Stay tuned on this channel :angecool:

I agree.... although I could say the same thing about most of the NPR work that appears on this forum (with the notable exception of Ernest Burden's work).

Guys, I believe you're being a bit too hard on this. And missing the real purpose of this post. The guy only wanted to show what he did with the software, not to show some real piece of work.

Of course, they look simple. But I'm sure he wouldn't present that to his clients. Face this more like a software test. ;)

Rick, you´re rigth, anyway I had to test new programs, these models came to be the victims, but the Piranesi effect of Architetural Hand Drawing has been requested very often...

Maybe the Architets are a little tired of drawing by hand and passed the work for me :ngelaugh:
