Tutorial: Image Filtering With Fotosketcher

Tags: posts, tutorial, blender, 3d rendering, fotosketcher, art,

The technique my colleague Ash developed to line and filter 3D renders using Fotosketcher, Befunky, and Blender, as well as image editing software like GIMP or Fire Alpaca. These programs are all free, and allow for commercial use. a filtered, lined image of a nautical themed bar

  1. Create and render your 3D model. Also render the lines, if you're doing that. See: 'Tutorial: Pretty Lines With Blender' flat render of a nautical themed bar flat render of a nautical themed bar

  2. Use the first vintage colour filter on Befunky at 50%

  3. Edit the image from step 2 in image editing software to have 70% saturation and 130% brightness a filtered, lined image of a nautical themed bar

  4. Apply the watercolour filter in Fotosketcher to the image from step 3 and save it separately. a watercolour filtered image of a nautical themed bar

  5. Apply the oil paint filter in fotosketcher to the image from step 3 and save it separately. an oil paint filtered image of a nautical themed bar

  6. In image editing software, put the oil image from step 5 at 65% opacity over the water colour image from step 4. If you don't have lines, you are done.

  7. If you do have lines, put them over the top at 50% opacity. a filtered, lined image of a nautical themed bar
