Wildsided Posted February 20, 2017 Share Posted February 20, 2017 I downloaded Krita a while back, haven't had a chance to play around with it. Looked cool in the demo videos I watched though. Also love the chimp model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted February 20, 2017 Author Share Posted February 20, 2017 I downloaded Krita a while back, haven't had a chance to play around with it. Looked cool in the demo videos I watched though. One reason I'm using Krita is that I can paint and save EXR images to use as the color decals...which means they are a 1.0 gamma. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Once again, I am forced to use a "stay alive" post. I'm still working on texturing and learning Krita. I've made some progress, but it will take more time to get something I can show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildsided Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Are .exr files better for colour maps? I use .png's for just about everything, but I know .Tga is popular too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsjustme Posted March 13, 2017 Author Share Posted March 13, 2017 Are .exr files better for colour maps? I use .png's for just about everything, but I know .Tga is popular too. Currently, you can work with 16bit float OpenEXR images in A:M. TGA and PNG images are 8bit, so using OpenEXR images for color or bump/displacement gives you more precision (which I've really noticed in displacement maps), but, depending on the size of image you are rendering, you may not notice that difference. However, using OpenEXR images for maps makes them 1.0 gamma automatically, so there isn't a need to color correct the maps when working in a linear workflow. I also render to OpenEXR so that the linear workflow is maintained. It makes post-processing essentially lossless when you have a final image that is 8bit. Hope that helps, Dan.

itsjustme Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 I've been doing a bunch of hair experiments over the past couple of weeks...I think I might be able to get what I'm after. In the course of my experiments, I was happy to discover that Colin Freeman's "Hairbrush" (http://www.colins-loft.net/hairbrush.html) works in the latest Paint Shop Pro (https://www.paintshoppro.com/en/products/paintshop-pro/). After messing with the trial version, I'm pretty happy with some of the tools in Paint Shop Pro...I used to use it a lot years ago and it's gotten quite a bit better (it can handle 16bit images for one thing). I may have to get a license for Paint Shop Pro now and add it to GIMP and Krita in my list of tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still working on a Squetch Rig update that will be done when I finish rigging her...she's the test model. I went down a path with the rig that I eventually decided against, so it has made the process longer than it should have been, but I think it gave me something I can still use...we'll see how that eventually turns out.

Admin Rodney Posted November 29, 2018 Admin Share Posted November 29, 2018 No David... that's just the forum being overly sensitive to drag/dropping. None of your topics should be archived... and the entire category of Special Topics definitely shouldn't be either. Sorry for the inconvenience. Give me a little while to get things sorted. Edit: Things should be (hopefully) back to normal. Added: I do think there is opportunity for moving forward in the new forum in ways that we couldn't before and the topics getting moved into archives was a result of me experimenting a little to see what was possible.
