Making of "Rose Abstract" - Tutorial

Making of "Rose Abstract"

 
In this tutorial I will explain how I create this picture step by step :

First you must Download Blender 2.70 ( Test Build ) , so you can use Cycle Volume Shaders .

- Delete the default point light .

- Start with the default Box , and subdivide it 4 times :

- Add a Displace Modifier and press New button under Texture , This will create a new cloud texture for the Displacement :

Play with its value as you want …

Now let’s create the Material , select the cube and go to the Node editor :

- Add a new material :

- Attach an emission shader to volume output , Add a Texture Coordinate Node take its “Generated” output and link it to a ColorRamp Node then attach it to the emission shader :

- Now start playing with ColorRamp :

- Put the Background color :

That enough :) Let’s prepare the Camera and start rendering :

This is my Rendering setup :

Rendering Done about 1-2 Minute :D

Finally , Let’s start composting …

Go to the Composite Node :

What I want to do is :

- Copy this image and scale it to decrease its opacity then add it to the background .

- I will Flip the image ( Of course you can rotate it before start rendering ) , Glow it with some Filters .

So Let’s start :

- The first goal :

- Let’s Scale the Image 3 times by add a scale node ( Shift+A → Distort → Scale ) .

- I will add a Rotate node to make it different ( Shift+A → Distort → Rotate ) .

- Finally add a Translate node to put it where I want ( Shift+A → Distort → Translate ) .

- Now let’s decrease the opacity by adding a Filter node ( Shift + A → Filter → Filter ) then select Laplace :

- Now add a RGB Curve to make its color lighter :

The first goal done … lets move to the second …

- The second goal :

- First I will flip the image so the white color be upward :

- Add a Kirsch Filter ( Shift + A → Filter → Filter ) then select Kirsch , Play with its value until you are satisfy :

- Finally Add RGB Curves :

Now add a Mix Color Node to add it to the Background …

Now it's Done :)
