New Painted Look for Photos
Over the last few weeks I’ve developed a new effect related to rototooning. Maybe I could call it rotopainting. I think it produces a more convincing simulation of painting than other automatic methods currently available in or for Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop ToonIt! isn’t out yet (we’re currently integrating a 2X+ speedup to help with big images), but when it is, this will be included. This effect also looks quite cool when applied to video - more on that later. Below are some examples of toons I rendered using rotopainting. These were derived from photos my wife Lisa took last week at PodCamp Philly.
At the closing session of PodCamp Philly I offered to apply this effect for free, plus rototooning, to photos people took of the event. If interested, go here for more info. Also, here’s a link to my Flickr page, where you can see more examples of PodCamp Philly toons.
