Renoir is outside
My favorite artist is Renoir. I love him. I can not omit him. I am here with three paintings. I would rather publish any bathing girls but it is suitable more into my real bedroom. Renoir's paintings of children are also famous a I made also supporting story. It seems I will start to introduce every creation by story. I like it.
DDS or TIF?
I was a bit confused by interpretation of bitmaps in Workshop. The results wasn't enought good for me. I love tif format. The transparency is easier comprehensible then alfa channel. Try to explain to small girl what it is alfa channel. So I welcome using of tif in Workshop.
I think it is the same - tif or dds. I couldn't find any comparison of both formats on forums or documentations. The result? I realized tif or dds, both are performed the same way by Workshop.
Time enough
The meshing or UV mapping have to wait. I checked some textures to my daughter and I think she had enough with it, still it is not perfect. We smiled during playing, she made me screenshots. Thank you El Nyna.
Uf
At last my story is back. I had problems after editing of title. I resubmited it, however I lost comments.
Last Kanafas patterns set
I am incoming with next and last kanafas. I worked on those patterns very carefully. I found to be limited by 256x256 px of pattern field. It is not divisible by three. Also four colors are little. I set up blending with white or black background and this way I created wide range of colors.
So here is my Four seasons set. Winter, spring, summer and autumn are not inspirated by colors but by shape. Winter is frozen, there is visible vertical motive. Spring is regular squares. Summer has wide dynamic color shades. Autumn is late summer in fact. There are larger cubes, more space for autumn colors.
Here is first screenshot from testing of pattern.
This is quit. I finished Kanafas. Next my creations will point to objects and lots maybe.
Children in front of computer
Sims is not my virtual life living instead real one. It is huge tools for creativity.
I have to admit the 3D Home Architect is too difficult for my daughter. She found Sims. I was touched by modeling of face too. I was wondered by simple interactivities during sims conversation. I tolerated to my daughters to play Sims, when they will be creative.
Late I bought an extension them... And I tried to play too. Next we started to be interested about creative tools for Sims.
Please moms, be interested about your children's activities on computer during playing. Support their creativity more then to be satisfied they are silent playing and they are not annoying.
First contact with Workshop
I gave a few hours to study of Workshop and editing of object textures of clothing. Well, I understand easy how it is with all properties. Now I desire to create my own lace bra. Also I edited textures of simple objects.
I made a picture of my beloved Auguste Renoir. Still I have to find some nice suitable frame.
I guess it will be worse with meshes. I will try to don't need new meshes a while. But I dream about new teddy bear.
Avatar
Here is my first avatar. I played a few hours with.
First I created sim with my face, hair and dress, next I had to force her into smile. Then I gave her the tulips. On the end here is graphical corrections of shadows, colors, background and hand by photoshop.
Here are some source pictures and preview from Photoshop.
Minisite
I would like to have a Profile Banner and also some nice Color Theme. I would change my background.
Well, I will be to earn.
New Kanafas pattern set
I am coming with a new set of my favorite Kanafas pattern. It is sophisticated set of two patterns with various widths of stripes. I love this dynamical look. The game with stripes is typical for czech designers of Kanafas and it differentiates czech style from old vichy pattern.
Still I will bring one set of Kanafas high sophisticated patterns and I'll be finished with Kanafas. It will be three, four and five color patterns with clever blending of stripes. It evokes more colors then has been used.
