StuartRc Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Hi, Thought it was about time I posted something new..... Been working on the Lightbox Expo Challenge (Environmental Design!) for nearly a month now...for a bit of fun..and to learn something new!. All Vector Construction in Affinity Designer with multiple layer embedded files and manipulation of adjustment layers.....mostly for re-colouring objects Two images created for projects Size had to be scaled to a multiple of 1940px width or heightEV01 Original Size is 9600px x 3880 px (had to scale to 1940px) and 300dpi EV02 Original Size is 9600px x 4500 px and 300dpi Extended the height of this one during building as the framework looked squashed forced into the original size!

StuartRc Posted July 9, 2020 Author Share Posted July 9, 2020 Construction Toolkits This project has a lot of vector construction toolkits associated with the embedded layer deployment Built to make texturing a little easier. 1. Sky Vector Texture kit 2. Textured Background Vector Kit 3. Rock Monster landscape Builder (shown under 'Fallen' here) 4. Rock/boulder Construction Kit 5. Tree Builders (3 versions) Kit (created for Camouflage but edited for this project) There are 2 versions; one of 'sky' and one for 'texture'. Each is made up of basic colour layer | graduation overlays | Texture of overlay The Texture overlay is combination of grouped transparent objects (So if they are moved around..different effect!) Vector Sky Builder With the sky/backgrounds I have frequently painted using texture brushes to get the desired effect. As this project is completely vector I needed a 'tool' to experiment with pattern for the background sky.Background Texture Generator More elaborate version of 'Sky builder' with additional textures. All texture elements are compund paths...was a bit easier to manage!

Thank you!...part of the purpose was to build some new assets....but I have not completed all the plants yet..some didn't make it into the drawing...Still it will keep me busy! This one was a bit of challenge though!..I have not tried creating 2 drawings at once in a month!...originally I intended them to connect as a full 1.6 metre drawing but just did not work out that way"..especially when I had to increase the height of the second drawing!
