Thanks you guys!
I'm having such a blast right now, it's scary! I just played around with the Smudge Chroma and it truly is surreal. This is a dark blue "primed" canvas and a yellowish white to just draw some lighting on an egg-head, hehe...then I had some fun with the fluidity, of course, but yeah... the tones that come out as you smudge the "egg white" into the black-blue are so amazing. It almost looks as though I knew what I was doing, hahaha...ahh... Anyway...

Silver surfer revival!

Ahaha, yeah, why not!

Ok, this one's a bit cheesy, but I just played around with Smudge Chroma and metallic paint...sheeeesh...insane fun! Just a few swooshes and this comes out:

[Taron]

Fluidity at 100%
Smudge Chroma at 10% (default)
and have at it gently... using all sorts of colors, but then black and white to just do it's magic... my goodness, it's mesmerizing! ....

I have found something with 2 layers for make a plastic wraping! A little like on your up righ corner
Something like Bump 100%, Metallic 100%...Smudge 100%, and 10% of opacity..layer mode "+" .i must refind the exact trick

[Taron]

Ah, you mean like this...
(Copy the layer, turn up glossiness a lot and diffuse a fair bit, turn the layer mode to "+"(additive) and opacity down until all fades except the highlights!)
I've copied it another time and brought diffuse up a lot more, which generates an extra shimmer.

[Taron]

That's even better... I really played around with the underlying image some more after I copied the layers for the highlights, bringing out the plastic wrapper effect even more!

Perfect that was something like that! But I had not copied the layer ...i must refound it!

So maybe some presets will be interesting to have somewhere!
Inside the prog or outside!

Hmmm, later on MACROS might be cool to have. I'm thinking about a certain amount of scripting, too, script recording and all that.

Ah, here's a little test I did based on Knacki's canvas idea! It's quite nice and I think I'll figure out some way of making this finally part of Verve...when I get to it!
