Thanks Suboptimal, happy you like it…

I don’t use objects and constrain them to an emitter, I’ve tried it and it’s a nightmare.

What I have here is just plain compositing, no textures, it’s all generated, I mainly use the Glare nodes ‘Ghosts’ to calculate the location of the ‘elements’ in the effect, but I’m not going in to detail since this is going to be for sale on Blender Market, telling you my secret would spoil the sale… sorry :frowning:

I might make a tutorial in the future on advanced compositing,

Cheers,

Nice sketchbook! Very inspiring for what you can do with Blender. Others may find this intimidating, but I see it as where I’m going! :smiley:

Wow, that looks pretty sweet!
Love all the variances, seems like you really put a lot of work in it, no matter the price, it will be worth it definitely :slight_smile:

thanks, suboptimal,

I like working with compositing nodes [same go’s for material nodes], you can play with simple math to get great results,

I also like your latest sculpt by the way [Western Badass],

Cheers pal,

Jim

He guys, long time not post,

I have been busy, both commercial as personal, anyways, happy to be back to BA posting.

I’m currently working on optimizing the flare pack nodes setup, aside from that I have released a new product that was made during my study for the ‘realistic female character creation’ thread.
