Product Name: Mountain Trail 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: This is a lovely, but steep, trail winding through the forest on the lower stretches of a mountain side. What sort of creatures might pop up on the trail ahead of you? Deer? A bear? A cryptid, such as Bigfoot? Or something out of a myth, such as a unicorn? Trail could be somewhere Medieval, maybe a major trade route. Or a modern hiking trail. You decide. Set is 9 background photos. 4000x3000 and 180 dpi each. Real life place and time is March 2024, Mount Si trail in North Bend, Washington state, USA. Very popular trail, but no crowds in March. Unfortunately, my hiking companion was still in recovery from foot surgery and we couldn't get further than about a half mile or so. Why were we there at all? I've lived in the Snoqualmie Valley my whole life and had NEVER gone up the Mount Si trail. It was one of my goals to hike that trail some time. At least hike part of it. So, as part of the celebration for my 70th birthday, we attempted the trail. Maybe later, we'll hike the rest of it. ***** 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 You may not print them out and distribute them as they are or re-distribute these files "as they are" in ANY format.
