Mister Sir Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Did you just blur the edges or did you duplicate, blur, and put the normal layer over? Off-Topic: You guys find the hardest things to render... >_>/sarcasm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off-Topic: You guys find the hardest things to render... >_>/sarcasm [/quote'] The last two blurs were me getting lazy. I used a program that auto-blurred it, but then the main image got blurry as well, so the original image was put on top. How you were able to tell that I put the old image over is beyond me though. I know I shouldn't be that lazy, but I tried blurring it manually about 20 times, and they all ended up just about the same as the one on post 5. >.> Off-Topic: It's my favourite card. >.> I HAD to save it for rendering myself.

burnpsy Posted August 5, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 The first post was a product of Paint.NET, the first blur was done on GIMP, and I explained how I used Paint.NET for the last 2 blurs shown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This should work on GIMP. Easy blurring: duplicate the layer that has your rendered image. Hide the front layer. Select the back layer and click on "Filters->Blur->Gaussian Blur" Play with the settings until you get a result that will look nice behind the rendered image. Should work.

burnpsy Posted August 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2009 Thanks for the tip. feathered ??? adorned with feathers or plumescovered with feathers; having the blades of oars or propellers parallel to the direction of motion; of a finely bevelled edgeturning an oar parallel to the water between pullsthe fifth album by the Washington' date=' D.C. based rock band Dead Meadow.[*']a children's novel by Jacqueline Woodson. ...but nothing that's relevant to this. >.> Oh, hold on: Feathering is a technique used in computer graphics software to smooth or blur the edges of a feature. The term is inherited from a technique of fine retouching using fine feathers. In that case, I agree. I'll try fixing it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
