Product Name: Shrums: Merchant Resource Vendor: Rowan54 ************************************************************ Required Products: None Required Software: Any program that will open .jpg files. Installation Instructions: Install where ever you install 2D backgrounds. -------------------------------------- Important Notes: I've always liked close-up photos of plants. These photos were taken in my woods. These mushrooms would be wonderful spots for a fairy to fly past, or sit. Or these could be used as wall-art in a 3D dwelling. Mushrooms I find are usually addressed as "oooh! pretty!". No, I don't have a good manual for identifying the mushrooms that I actually see. The books I have mostly show photos of mushrooms I've never seen. So, no, I don't know their official names, sorry. As merchant resources -- these could be used as clothing textures, as wall murals, or other places where a backdrop of a large mushroom is appropriate. Or as a reference for making models. Six photos are at 4000x3000 (or 3000x4000) which is 12 megabytes, and 180 dpi. One is 2848x1896 (480 dpi), which is 5.4 megapixels. ***** Rendering 3D characters to add to a background? Here's a quick list of some very basic hints. 1- Make sure the characters are at the same angle as the background. 2- The light in the photo is the way the light in the photo is going to be. You'll want to match the direction, intensity, angle, and color of the light on your characters and props. 3- Your characters need shadows so that they don't float. Make a new layer below the character (in your 2D program), use a very soft round brush, black, 33% opacity (OR LESS) and brush under the feet and where the character will be touching things. If you can make the shadows realistic, kudos...but any shadow helps. ***** You MAY use this pack in all of your artwork, personal or commercial You MAY use this pack for scrap booking, both digital and printable - for yourself and for others You MAY use this pack to create your artwork for sale, such as prints You MAY use this pack to make greeting cards, websets, email stationary, etc. so long as they are altered and not redistributed as they are.
