Bri-Toon Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I'm looking through the resources to find either the right brush, texture, or style (prefer style) to create a fur effect on a vector object. I did find a fur brush pack, but it didn't work out with what I was trying to accomplish. Here is a silly example of a creature I'm looking into basing mine off of. The fur sticks out pointedly instead of traveling around the object. http://us.123rf.com/450wm/albertzig/albertzig1210/albertzig121000311/15624751-3d-cartoon-furry-monster.jpg?ver=6 If anyone is working on something like this or knows how to accomplish it, it would be a huge help.

Lynn Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 That fur really looks impressive. I would love having a way to accomplish similar results! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 That fur really looks impressive. I would love having a way to accomplish similar results! I know, right? I am finding quite a lot of resources, but presets for the Styles tab seems pretty empty. Once line styles are in, it might be easier to implement this. Quote The website is still a work in progress.

verysame Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I'm afraid without a good painting work I think is really hard to achieve something like that. This is as close as I can get in Photo playing a few minutes with the default brushes: Aammppaa, LyricsGirl and Bri-Toon 3 Quote Andrew - Win10 x64 AMD Threadripper 1950x, 64GB, 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD + 2TB, dual GTX 1080ti Dual Monitor Dell Ultra HD 4k P2715Q 27-Inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aammppaa Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 I am pretty sure the original image posted will have the fur rendered in a 3D application. However I am impressed by verysame's attempt to recreate in Photo!

verysame Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thank you, Aammppaa. Yes, that for sure it's been made in 3d.

v_kyr Posted January 30, 2017 Share Posted January 30, 2017 Yes looks pretty much like 3D modeled stuff, see also here "How to make fluffy fur" in Blender.

Leafdancing Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I found a nice tutorial on making vector fur, but it depends on blending/replicate, one of the things on the roadmap we are waiting for still on Affinity Designer. https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-add-fur-to-vector-animal-illustrations--vector-889 Perhaps it will give you ideas? I am sure someone else made a lovely vector fur effect on the forums 18 months or so ago, but I cannot find it I am sorry. Good luck. I shall follow this thread to see if anyone can point the way, maybe even a dev? Bri-Toon 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bri-Toon Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thank you everyone for your replies! This is as close as I can get in Photo playing a few minutes with the default brushes: That looks great. Is it okay if I use it as a brush? I found a nice tutorial on making vector fur, but it depends on blending/replicate, one of the things on the roadmap we are waiting for still on Affinity Designer. https://design.tutsplus.com/tutorials/how-to-add-fur-to-vector-animal-illustrations--vector-889 Perhaps it will give you ideas? I am sure someone else made a lovely vector fur effect on the forums 18 months or so ago, but I cannot find it I am sorry. Good luck. I shall follow this thread to see if anyone can point the way, maybe even a dev? Very interesting. One problem I am facing is getting a vector brush. If I make a fury design, export and then import it, I can only get it as a pixel brush without trouble. Really? I searched "Fur" in the search engine and it gave me zero results. I am curious as to who made that effect. Quote The website is still a work in progress. The "Comics" and "Shop" sections are not yet ready.

By the way, I used the effect brush #130: Quote Andrew - Win10 x64 AMD Threadripper 1950x, 64GB, 512GB M.2 PCIe NVMe SSD + 2TB, dual GTX 1080ti Dual Monitor Dell Ultra HD 4k P2715Q 27-Inch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leafdancing Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Ahh, I think I found it Bleduc, although not with a vector brush, it was this post I was thinking of: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/5446-blue-bunny/ A really lovely work by Retrograde.

Bri-Toon Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Sure. By the way, I used the effect brush #130: Thanks a ton. May I ask, do you still have the Affinity file available? To use the brush, I will need a transparent background. Ahh, I think I found it Bleduc, although not with a vector brush, it was this post I was thinking of: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/5446-blue-bunny/ A really lovely work by Retrograde. That certainly does look very impressive. I need to work on making something like that (I doubt it will be as good). I'm gonna look into how to add resources here.

Alfred Posted February 1, 2017 Share Posted February 1, 2017 Sure. By the way, I used the effect brush #130: Just as an FYI, the number 130 isn't a brush number, it's the default width for that brush (i.e. 130px). If I hover over the brush, I get a tooltip telling me that the brush name is 'Effects 1'.
