Stained GlassWeek One: Stained Glass
using texturesBefore discovering glass samples, I created this image using the granite textures.
Sampler with green leadWhen I figured out how to use the presets in Blade Pro, I tried green lead — maybe it's tarnished. But there was not enough contrast with my green and blue glass.
sampler with red leadSo I tried using a reddish-purple lead, which I prefer to the green.
Without BladeproI created this image without the help of Bladepro. I used Eye Candy Chrome. I was pretty happy with it.
Bladepro tulipThen I found a demo of Bladepro at the Flaming Pear Website, and I created this. Not knowing how to access the presets, I just copied the settings from the lesson illustration. I prefer the Eye Candy Chrome version.
bladepro tulipI tried Baldepro tulip with different glass.
animated stained glass tulip?Then I created the animated stained glass tulip. I don't think this tulip needs animation. I believe it's more attractive when static.
tulip with presetI got to thinking about that Mah—beadedgold.q9q file. I thought there must be a way to apply it without having to change the settings manually. I started clicking around until I found the preset access button (why did Flaming Pear try to conceal it?). Then I made this beaded gold using the preset.
pixelated tulipBecause I didn't much care for the changing colors animation, I tried some others. I thought this pixelated animation was fun.
