TRANSFORM

ROLL & MORE ROLL








HI ALL,,,SCARLET HERE...
WITH SOMETHING FOR YOUZ GUYZ TO PLAY AROUND WITH...

I WOULD NOT EXACTLY CALL THIS A "TUTORIAL" SINCE YOU KNOW HOW THESE FUNCTIONS WORK AND I AM SURE YOU HAVE USED THEM TOGETHER BEFORE BUT....

HOW MANY TIMES?

IN WHAT ORDER

IT IS MORE AN
E X E R C I S E
IN
"THINKING OUTSIDE OF THE BOX"

THIS TIME WE ARE GOING TO BE USING DECORATE RAISE/SINK NO COLOR
AND
TRANSFORM/ROLL

IT IS PRETTY MUCH FREE-STYLE....USE A GRAPHIC YOU IMAGED,,,DIDN'T IMAGE, A FRACTAL, A BACKGROUND, CREATE A BACKGROUND,,,,

***IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WHAT YOU USE DOES NOT HAVE ALOT OF DETAILS BUT HAS BIG AND BOLD AREAS
AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN MAKE?

THERE IS A BASIC IDEA, NOT REALLY A SKELETAL FORMULA, WHICH WILL DIFFER

HOW TO "TRANSFORM/ROLL"

IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO "ROLL" REVIEW LESSON ABOVE. IT IS EASY....
NEXT,,THE FIRST STARTING GRAPHIC BELOW IS 240X380.
DIVIDE 4 INTO WHATEVER WHATEVER YOUR DIMENSIONS ARE AND ROUND IT OFF IF NOT EVEN.
240= WIDTH
THAT IS HOW I GOT THE "60" PARAMETER TO "ROLL" WITH.
YOU "ROLL" 3 TIMES BEFORE YOU MAKE THE OUTSIDE BLACK BORDERS BECAUSE ANYMORE THAN THAT AND YOU WILL JUST BE RE-ROLLING AROUND THE MATTE.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT SO FAR?
(THE REASON WHY I ADDED "20" TO THE "60" PARAMETER IS BECAUSE I WAS TRYING TO GET THE AFFECT OF A CROSS AND WHEN I MADE THE 10X10 FRAME, THAT ADDED "20" TO THE PARAMETER OF "60".
THIS IS A TOTALLY OPTIONAL CHOICE.)

FOR THAT PARAMETER, I WOULD ADD/SUBTRACT A BIT FROM THE DIVISIONAL PARAMETER OF 4 YOU ARE USING IN ORDER TO "SCATTER" YOUR GRAPHIC IN THE MIDDLE.
THE BEST BEST IS TO "EYEBALL", AT THAT POINT" WHAT YOU ARE DOING.
IE. IF YOU ARE USING A FACE AND YOU WANT DIFFERENT PARTS OF IT TO SHOW UP DIFFERENT OFFSETS, BEFORE YOU COMPOSITE, THEN "EYEBALL" WHERE YOUR "ROLL" IS GOING TO GO.

WHEN CHOOSING THE SIZE OF THE SIDE BLACK BORDERS WHICH YOU ARE GOING TO COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE TILE ACROSS ON, AGAIN, TRY TO GET YOUR NUMBERS EVEN.
IE. IF YOUR GRAPHIC IS 300 PIXELS WIDE, THEN MAKE THE SIDE BORDERS 200 PIXELS EACH IF YOU WANT 2/3 OF THE GRAPHIC TO SHOW UP AS ITSELF, OR 150 PIXELS IF YOU WANT ONE HALF OF IT TO SHOW UP.
THEN GO AHEAD AND COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE WITH TILE ACROSS.
THIS IS WHERE YOU ARE GOING TO GET
---IN THE MIDDLE, A HELTER SKELTER TYPE OF LOOK YET NOT A BLOB OR BLUR
ON THE OUTSIDE, THE GRAPHIC, AS IT IS, AT THE BEGINNING...
THIS SHOULD NOW HELP MORE....

AT EITHER RATE, IT IS HARD TO MAKE ALOT OF MISTAKES WITH THIS TECHNIQUE BECAUSE THE OUTCOME IS SO "CUSTOMIZED TO THE ARTIST"
BUT....
YOU DO WANT IT TO BE RECOGNIZABLE AND NOT A MESS

HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES....




RESIZE TO "240X380"
DECORATE/RAISE 10X10 NO COLOR
TRANSFORM/ROLL +60+0
DECORATE/ 10X10 BLACK FRAME
DECORATE SINK 10X10 NO COLOR
TRANSFORM/ROLL +60+60
DECORATE/RAISE 10X10 NO COLOR
TRANSFORM/ROLL +80+60
DECORATE BLACK 100X0 BORDER
COMPOSITE/DIFFERENCE TILE ACROSS
DECORATE RAISE 10X10 NO COLOR
DECORATE /SINK 5X5 NO COLOR
ANNOTATE

OUTPUT @ QUALITY=25
***NOTE:
IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE THE "CROSS" OUT OF THE MIDDLE THEN LEAVE OUT THE RAISE/SINK 10X10 WITH NO COLOR
YOU WANT TO OMIT THAT...


"Stained Glass Cross"





"Brunettes All Rolled Up"






"Mystic Time Zone"

AND THAT'S IT.
