OH DANG! Here I thought I had spare time to kill.
:wow
nerds.
but, dude. u gotta admit, thats pretty awesome to take THAT many small images and put together a HUGE one like that. it doesnt matter thats its star wars, it coulda been something else, im just saying its pretty awesome
oh noes, not this shit.
the original artist who actually painted the star wars version is barely mentioned anywhere, while this clown
who took some free software, and set it to work for two weeks gets a ton of attention all over the interwebz.
he didn’t do much of any manual work on it, it’s computer-generated.
startwars was a good movie trilogy but why do people obsess over it?
it’s incredibly hard for people of our age to relate, but at the time (when our parents were our age) no other movie had the effects that star wars did. It was truly revolutionary. …but that is still no excuse to obsess over it.
why do ppl go nuts and piss their pants if thier motor is SI and has VTAK?
Very impressive it even retains the feel of the sfumato, that said I think Da Vinci just rolled over in his grave!
what now? i don’t see any subtlety in tonal and value changes in that “painting” if that’s what you’re talking about.
It looks fairly smokey around edges, of course its not perfect, but considering how it was created they did a great job of retaining the feel.
i think most of the credit for that goes to the original artist;

oh snap, i just accidentally found the jesus photo series i was looking for for a while;

He spent 25-30 hours touching it up by hand. And he came up with the algorithm the software uses. If you didn’t know, algorithms of this nature are not easy to create.

whooptie-doo

he said “modified”. are you supposed to be an expert on this?
maybe you want to tell me how easy it was to paint the original?
what exactly should i be impressed with here?
calma calma
i thought it was pretty neat. digital stuff is art nowadays. im used to doing things with paint or pencil or ballpoint or whatever. i tried making stuff in photshop. it comes out well enough. you still need art talent in general to DRAW but computers make it a LOT easier. as far as this thing? i like the idea, its pretty interesting and i think its original to combine something like the last supper painting and star wards. somebody should make the family guy version. id want that like 4-5 foot long and framed on my wall

hey no doubt, I paint on the computer myself most days, the media is not the point.
the point i’m trying to make is, he took this guy’s painting, ran it through software, touched it up
(whatever that means, i don’t know how you can take images as pixels and place them better than software does)
and suddenly it’s a big deal.
an equivalent would be me taking a photo, running it through a photoshop “brush strokes” filter, and getting attention as the next John Sargent.
i’ve seen images composed of other images in the same way in print and online, and it was never a big deal to anyone.
if it was his own painting - whatever, that’s cool.
if he composed the whole thing by hand - i’d ask for his autograph and permission to rub his feet.
but neither is the case.
but computers make it a LOT easier
no, actually they don’t.
i’ve never seen anybody who can’t draw in real life being able to draw using a computer.
the process itself is a bit simplified since you don’t have to deal with cleaning brushes, keeping paper clean, have the undo/save buttons and such, but
in no way any of this will affect your skill level or improve the final outcome.
Are your panties twisted?
Expert in digital art? No, expert in algorithms and programming? I better be for what I’m paying to go to school. I never said it was easy to paint the original. All I said was what he did was not trivial by any means. Ok, so he modified the algorithm, still no easy task.
Said this last week when i told my girl i got tickets to canada for the nissan meet, and…it didnt have good results…
Hahaha :lol
actually yeah, it annoys me to see this guy get some much hype over this.
if he didn’t use that painting i doubt anyone would give two shits.
guess i’m screaming in the desert here.
Ok, so he modified the algorithm, still no easy task.
well that depends.
for all i know he threw some sliders around in the program menu. he didn’t exactly go into details about the process.
and he did say he used existing software.
idk i thought drawing using my tablet was easier because of undo buttons and other effects you can apply to layers and stuff vs actually doing it by hand. thats what i meant by “making it easier”
