    @i<3BillCipher ; Just go to this link and it will lead you to the online editor of pixlr. You don't

    have to download the app or pay for it. I'm pretty sure, anyway. (Katsuko beat me to it :3 )


If your computer is already equipped with photoshop, thats ideal for pictures (not gifs,)

Not sure why you would want to apologize to me, seeing how I said I wouldn't make an army in the first place =)

...

Soooo, we got a couple of opinions in. Thanks to those of you who took the time to offer ideas and such.

I think that my solution to the problem will be a stricter policy on spam. Before, I was quite lenient because I did not want to squelch the creative juices flowing between everyone. But I do not think this thread can continue to operate as a help thread if the new coders truly do feel they have trouble getting a word in edgewise. I will quote the new rules here when they are finalized.

If you guys reeeeaaaaally want a coders army, you will have to talk to the mods and sort that out with them on your own. Watching the downward spiral of the last army really turned me off to that community, so I'd rather stick with Digitally Distinct. I don't think an army is necessary though. What would you talk about? You already get coding help here and sig ratings on sig rating threads. The only things left to talk about after that are coding troubles and complaints, which is what got the last army closed down.

And done.
*sniff sniff* Rules sound so hostile.
I'm not gonna be out to get you guys. Just follow the rules and everything will run smoothly.


    Anti-Spam Rules:
    These rules are here to keep this thread open and accessible to our valued beginner coders.
    .
  • If you want to post to mark the thread, only mark it once.
  • Do not double post.
    You must wait for someone else to post after you before you can post again.
  • Do not ask for signature ratings here.
    If you want to know how your finished sig looks, find "Signature Respect" or "Rate the Signature" here.
  • If you are not giving or asking for coding/signature help, please do not post here.

    Failure to follow these rules will result in one friendly warning from myself
    on the first offense and a quick report to the mods on the second offense.

Thank you for the tutorial, I didn't know how to do it that way... I was doing it another, but this way is much better. ^^;

Re: Digitally Distinct: Weaving: Pt 2?

    Casually going to bring up another method on figuring out where you can find a foreground and ackground in an image, with link to Of The Fall's tutorial on it.
    If you have a shape that is complicated and has different distances, this is for you.

I think Roxy in my Sig is close to on point. I like the way her hand looks like it's about to clutch the bar over her hand. On the other dude, though, I see the problem.

    I agree. Your Roxy is very on-point.
    With image weaving, it is possible to make it so a specific part of the weave is not weaved.
    It's a matter of perspective, what image is close and what image is far away.
    If I may, Can I explain this using your Roxy image as a visual aid?
    It's complicated enough for perspective to be a little bit difficult to show.


Sure!
I might edit it later and fix the back part.

    I only got back to this now because I have been kinda busy.
    So I am going to explain this in general here to make sure it all works out.
    When weaving, you need to figure out where the fore and background are.
    It helps to have a general idea of landscape. As mentioned, with complicated shapes, this is hard to do if you do not have a basic knowledge of image perspective. An example of this is with the image I am going to use, with permission, to edit.
    Image
    The best way of doing this is by looking at it from an aerial POV. Aka Bird Point of view.
    Image
    This is what the image would look like 2D and with no weaving. The roxy image is on top of everything.
    So if we were to see what you have done to it from a bird eyes view, you may think it looks like this:
    Image
    Unfortunately, that is not the case. That would be acceptable to have it like that, but it doesn't work as well. Instead, you have this:
    Image
    This is what it looks like. You can't draw it from a birds eye view. It doesn't flow or make sense.
    So you can always partial weave, which means the line doesn't go the whole way through. Which is fine if you can disguise it.
    To do this, simply erase part of the image so it doesn't flow over it.
    For this, I can see doing two things here:
    Image
    I went ahead and re-edited the gif where it has "or this" on it.
    And this is the result:
    Image
    The finger is in front of the purple pole so it looks like she is grabbing it, and the hood thing flows through without overlapping and it looks 3D. I erased part of the line so this 3d-er effect can take place.

    As you can see, I cannot draw for the love of me.
    But that is the basic idea of Weaving with harder images and with use of the bird eye view effect.
    It is good to get a birds eye view of where the picture is shaped so you can work it out from there. :)
    I hope this helps people. It is a little late yes, but better late than never *Unless this was already done*

    Key Words:
    Weaving
    Image Manipulation
