loginomicon Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Might be a weird question but I was wondering if anybody tried to replicate the Miniatures art mashed with photoshop they do for the HH books ? I really like the style they do and wanted to replicate it with my own photos. I was wondering if anybody tried it and what was your experience ?

Jings Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 Funny enough yeah I did play around with this like a week and a half ago. Just used my phone and a flashlight and fethed with the lighting settings. Turned out great and made me want to start a blog for my Scars.

From my understanding they are taking photos of the miniature from various angle and then use photoshop to modify the background and lighting around it with photoshop. Am I wrong ?

N1SB Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I just mucked about in PowerPoint for...maybe 30 minutes, as a creative exercise: The idea is to use PowerPoint like those fancy stickerbooks my parents never got me because they were expensive: Open PowerPoint, choose the Layout with nothing on it, you just need a plain workspace Find a photo from some warzone, I used something from CNN, insert it, fill the background Format > Color > reduce Color Saturation, Format > Artistic Effects > Film Grain Insert pics of your own minis, Format > Remove Background Format > Color > reduce Color Saturation, Format > Artistic Effects > Film Grain Some fiddling with Format > Picture Effects > Soft Edges and Shadows Insert some transparent PNG of a smoke effect I found just on a web search Boy, that was fun. Tbh, just start by opening PowerPoint, posting some warzone photo as background, insert your mini pics and Remove Background on them, it's easier to fiddle around with that then reading what I wrote above. What a great idea. Thanks for that.

I still look awesome though, great work ! I agree, use the proper tool (i.e. NOT PowerPoint). But I can't help stop playing with it, and the benefit is when using bad tools, I figure out what's important: In terms of important shooping effects, from top to bottom: It's actual picture Contrast (not the paints, but the editing effect) that's most iconic Then in lower importance is that film grain effect Then some transparent smoke PNG or sparks or explosions or whatever Anyway, just fun. This is cool, dude! What a great idea, I should do this from now on, Imma try on my Necrons or something. That standard bearer I got in the middle just looks terrible, ya don't do what I did, he looks like he's hovering and I was too lazy to cover up his feet.

pawl Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 For those who fancy using something like Photoshop without having to pay for or obtain it, Photopea is a fantastic alternative. =] tinpact, LameBeard and N1SB 3 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/382329-anybody-tried-the-fw-miniatureart-photoshop-for-pictures/#findComment-6023335 Share on other sites More sharing options...
