In this demo, I wanted to illustrate the various models that Roller 5 offers. I used the Plaque option to create the black cells, and the Caption option to make the smiles.

This demo is made with Roller 5.01. I wanted to illustrate the new Backdrop Style, Roof Top. Corner Tape had a small problem that was fixed with the update.

The demo image is quite good but why is the 'art' presented as an image of 'art'? Why not cut-out the middleman and have the graphic as a stand-alone image?

BTW I'm not trying to be negative here just opinionated :bigthup

Personally, I like to make wallpaper, so I'll take an image and scale it into a composition. I also like a wallpaper to be unique, so that is why I randomize things, and since I do this for myself, I don't worry too much about color harmony, the art's theme, lighting, balance or other critical aspects when creating a composition.

Cheers,

In this demonstration preset, Roller 5.02 is using a Backdrop Style, Acrylic Sky with two Table models and a Cell model. The Cell model has a Netting Plaque with a Rounded Corners Cut-out Mask and a Border Line Frame. The Table models are using ellipse shaped cells with Per Color Plaques. Lastly, Tim's lightly modified Wobble script is used to make the Plaque Frames.

As ever full of intriguing ideas Charles - looks like very creative stuff (technical term).
