PhotoPlus X2: Time Lapse

Black Spot · 1st May 2010, 05:55 PM

I've been messing about with MoviePlus, learning the ropes and did a time lapse of a couple of pictures I did in PhotoPlus. Water Nymph and Statue (warning - mild nudity in the classical way)

That is really well done. :-)

cjipper · 6th May 2010, 01:10 AM

Well done! The hair just grabs me, especially on the statue.

Black Spot · 6th May 2010, 07:20 AM

Thanks. I made another one.

Sixwheels · 8th May 2010, 04:59 PM

She's beautiful. Goodness, I wish I could paint!

Very nice.

Black Spot · 8th May 2010, 09:29 PM

Thank you very much but I'm only copying. I put the picture next to PhP which makes it easier. Also I can zoom in for the details.

Sixwheels · 8th May 2010, 09:38 PM

Black Spot, do you do any originals? I'm certain you have the talent for it. :-)

Black Spot · 8th May 2010, 10:04 PM

I'm working towards it. Doing Master Studies is only a way of learning technique. I'm a scribbling artist and seeing where I can push that is always a valuable lesson. To make more original work I need to get to grips with anatomy. I'm getting closer but I am reverting to traditional medium for my studies.

The original stuff I've done hasn't always quite hit the spot with me yet. One thing I'm trying to use PhP for is to iron out the errors before I start painting for real. I've already found that it has improved my pencil work no ends.I couldn't do this last year, Two years ago I was pretty rubbish, but just working and drawing a lot has improved me no end.

I can't imagine your work turning out too well if your pencil has no ends!

Maybe it means I just never have to buy another one.

Love the studies. The more I see what other affordable programs can do the more anti-adobe I'm becoming.lol.

Hey blackspot. when you recorded yourself drawing wirh movie plus while working in photoplus, did you record yourself with an actual camera? or does movieplus have an actual computer screen capture recorder? how did you do it.?

I just exported every so often. I find it easier sometimes to check my progress out of PhP. As I work at 300dpi, flipping can sometimes result in a crash. I put them all together in MoviePlusX3, which I got just a short time ago.

I've found all the Serif stuff I've got is very easy to use and pretty well everything Adobe can do, so can Serif, except PhP doesn't really like huge pictures, but I'm sure they're working on it.

Thanks Lon.

Oh Ok cool. So are you saying PHP has a recorder in the program to record your progress? And from the PHP capture you export it into movieplus? If so thats really awesome

Black Spot · 16th May 2010, 07:25 PM

No that would make it too bloated. I just export my WIP all the way through. I have recorded myself drawing with DP using CAM Studio, but it does feel like performance art and too much pressure. As I can take a fair few hours doing one picture, the size of the film with any quality would be massive. Also CAM Studio does occasionally crash and I'm not starting from the beginning again.

urmb · 16th May 2010, 07:50 PM

oh ok. i got you. yea video takes a lot of memory. You ever tried any image capture software? You wouldnt need a camcorder. its software that will record your computer screen while working on the computer. you can adjust the quality of the video. from there you can export and open in movie maker. They also take snapshots;images and you can right on them: They have some programs that are free, others are about 20-40 us dollars.

urmb · 16th May 2010, 07:52 PM

oh. i take it that cam studio is a screen capture. lol. cool
