didnt know where to post it

found this when i surfed some blogs

it reminds me a bit of your crinkled tinfoil tutorial and it looks metallic, so i thought this might be of interest to you (and everybody else)

i think its a label logo for a clothes company or something like this - a bit cliche but the effect is very nice


EDIT: ah, it seems to be a record cover

Is there a link to a tutorial for that?

I doubt there' s gonna be an actual tutorial because the song just came out a couple of days ago, including the cover.
I think the effect is quite cool though, maybe there' s a way to replicate it.

Esper, Would you mind sharing the link to that tin foil tut?

esper: this is such a surprise - you went and found a record cover . it's a really nice effect, reminds me pleasantly of aged silver that someone's been trying damaged hammers on.

Thanks Esper. That is pretty cool looking. To me it looks more like a hunk of metal that was hacked on and hacked on more than foil or even chisled. This is what I get using foil even with bumpmapping.



Not even close! I don't know how to get that uneven chisled look.


Skyroma - just go to the tutorials section and do a search by author. Both tuts I did on foil are listed.

I agree, maybe you could get those shard patterns in a similar way Moko get hers in this thread?

then fill them with a gradient and posterize ?

Like the image Esper and just to confuse everyone even more heres a tinfoil tutorial I did a while ago.

Ok so after posting this I couldn't help but have a play.



Here is the xcf file to the above image



I'm thinking the best way to get the chisled look is to create an animated brush of various shaped polygons.

Just going to update this post, but I created an animated brush, here it is if you wont to have a play



Replacing the holes with this brush gave these results



Maybe the polygons need to be more irregular and I'm sure with drac's knowledge of all things shiney he will be able to get it more metallic looking.

Sorry Esper, Kind of highjacking your thread a bit, but this is an interesting challange.

The previous results were ok, but if you look closely you'll see polgons sitting on top of polygons, obviously if it were chiselled this couldn't happen.

So I set my brush spacing up so it wouldn't overlap "setting 150", set jitter to 5 and set size as random.
Then stroked six different layers with the brush and set each one to grain mergre so they blended in with each other were they overlapped.

Here is the result



And here is the new XCF file

be my guest, loving what you´re coming up with so far

pls continue !

Was still not happy with the way the polygons are sitting on top of each other, so went back to a single layer for the brush and keeping the random size checked and jitter settings reduced brush size to 0.5 and spacing to 100 and stroke 3 straight lines across the text.
Converted that layer to white on transparent and used it as the selection to do a reverese bevel effect of what I had applied to the intial text, then cropped layer to text selection.
Finally I gave it a metallic look using the curves but slightly more subtle than on the text.

Here is the results



Again here is the XCF file
