Nice image but a SBS or explanation would be helpful to know how it was created.

this image was created in CS4's 3D engine. My puppet is comprised of speres, cylinders, and cubes. The rings were created using the eliptical paths then connect to the strings that were made with the pen tool. the hat is also a shape out of the 3D engine in CS4. When working with the 3D engine to save your computers ram you should rasterize each shape before you began to work with the next one... The hands and umbrella were added using conventional blending methods.

I would add SBS but I dont know how...

Very nice work....if you would like to add a sbs, go to your stuff, contests, then click on add sbs under your image. Adding sbs will show people just how they can implement the techniques that you used to create this entry. Look through others entries and you will get the idea. GL

yes I understand but can someone explain how everyone gets the still shotsof their computer screen uploaded?

alt+print screen will copy it, then paste it into a new image with ctrl+v or just edit, then paste. the sbs will be nice to see. GL on your entry!

thanks i'll do that now...

Another suggestion: you can do your sbs WHILE you do your work on PS, saving each path as low res JPEG in a folder called "SBS of...", for example, using the option "save as". That's the way I do... GL!

Great job filling out your step by step, really helpful. Good tips from everyone as well! A fun image with a good step by step!

Hi! well this is my first image in a contest I hope it likes you I´m not asking for votes cause that is up to you. For what I´m asking is for comments in case you like or don´t like the image. Well thanks for your votes anyway I hope to make some others images like this or even better in other contests. See ya later and take care you all bye.

Nice, but isn't this a bit of a copy off the first entry here?

well, yes let´s say that is similar to the first image, but something that differs is the lettering the first image has for the numbers my image has. However, I appreciate your observation and I´ll be more cautios to don´t trying to do something similar to any user. thanks

nice try....

simple but nice

It's a little simple but nice first attempt.

Excellent detail on the hands and face. Nice entry.

Cool old Yoda!

I agree, "excellent detail on the hands and face" I also love the glow you have on the swords... cool entry author.

This is thiinking well outside the box .. Nice work author

very cool look. I think it would look nice if the bridge was not there. If you do keep you should fix it. It does not line up with each peice, but Great Job.

I really like the idea...but get those pieces of pier to line up.

Very nice idea,i love enterior,very warm...gl author

Thanks for the tips and comments >>>>Fixed pier

Too late now but the pier doesn't line up in the window on the right.

Nice job, donh...way to go!
