I was wondering if any of you guys and gals out there know how to make a
lightning effect and also how to make a solar/ lunar eclipse... well if you guys
dont mid sharing you techniques with us of course...
lightning is so easy ^_~
1. create new image, press d
2. filter->render->clouds
3. filter->render->difference clouds
4. press ctrl+i
5. press ctrl+l
6. move the left and center arrow near the right arrow until u satisfied with
the lightning
7. press ctrl+u and check "colorized" box to give it a color
Choose a light and dark shade of the color you want the stone to be.
Render->Clouds
Click the channel tab next to the layers listing.
Click the button to make a new channel.
Render->Clouds on the channel
Click the layers tab and click the layer you made clouds on.
Render->Lighting Effects
Choose a directional light and angle it how you want.
I forget the name of the dropdown menu, but choose the channel you made using
the clouds texture (default is 'alpha1'). This is the key part to the
texture!
Tweak the sliders as you see fit. I usually make it more plastic, drop the
exposure some, try to give it as little reflection as possible. Lastly, to
really bring out the texture, on the bottom slider bar that goes between 'flat'
and 'mountainous,' move it way over to the right.
Click okay, and you're stoned.
