Paintovers

category: gfx [glöplog]
While working on my seminar for revision, I was thinking how much the demo scene would benefit from early paintovers for productions in progress. I personally love doing this for fun. It's an amazing way to learn and improve (on both sides). Indeed, I was probably learning a huge chunk from paintovers people did of mine and others work at forums.sijun.com.

To get this started, I want to offer to do paintovers for the first 10 (non-joke) screenshots posted here. Obviously I hope others participate.

In the long run, it would be completely awesome to have invite only topics for upcoming releases that become public as reference once the cats are out of the bag.

What do you think?

This would actually be rather awesome. I share a lot of what I am working on with friends and people from the groups I am in, but having that kind of discussion made public later would be quite fascinating.

@nytric: haha... But..., but..., that's defying the purpose :-)
Where did you sent the mail?

@preacher: Can't wait to try something dirty with that later tonight :-)

Thanks for the email address. Cue random spam.

'cause the email address wasn't "on the internet" before?

p01: No problem. That's on thing I'm very thankful towards google: the spam filter. The ratio is somewhat around 1/10 with surprisingly few false positives :-)

Nytrik: Can I post the stuff here later?

For coders like me, .. what are paintovers?

it's like a sleep-over, but when you wake up you find you've been painted.

@trc_wm: For me it's opening a screenshot in photoshop and running rampart to visualize anything from crazy brainstorming ideas or subtle touches of color-grading.

@preacher: proabbly not what you had in mind... This bauhaus-stuff is tricky...

Is everything allowed in a paintover? Also cutting, scaling or slicing the image? Or does the original image has to be untouched? (*This sentence doesn't sound like real english ... hmm*)

@gaspode: I don't think there is a proper definition. I guess it's what's gets a point a across and might help to get a fresh view on things. When working with color-correction, however, it's easier if you can lay the adjusted image on top of the original to figure out the changes.

ok here's my take :)

Wow. That's pretty cool.

Whoa, you guys are taking my effect into places I wouldn't have even thought of. I am now completely sold on the concept of giving a screenshot to someone else to paint over. Pixtur's second image is quite like I originally imagined it could be, actually, but what I currently have is quite different from it. I need to think...

Thanks a lot for some new inspiration :)

Got carried away. Probably completely useless. Let's try again.

I guess this what you call a one trick pony.
added on the 2013-04-04 00:09:22 by pixtur pixtur
pixtur, i like your one trick though ;)

i was totally in on that paintover idea when you mentioned it in your talk and what i see here just confirms that.

... i just wish there would be some way of doing this kind of thing to early-in-the-making prods without posting spoilers for everyone. as you said, some invite-only thing might work, or maybe just plain old e-mail?

I adore this thread! keep em comming :D

Wow, this is really great Pixtur :)

Yeah. This idea sounded pretty interesting yesterday when there were no pictures in the thread. Now the pictures are here and we can see how it works - it's great :) Big props for doing this pixtur!

The "private forum threads that go public later" idea is cool too. It'd be fascinating to read through say a group's discussion + images while they're developing a prod. Of course not all groups would want this, but it'd be an amazing insight into how demomaking works for different people.
