Fireworks Tutorial: Making realistic van Gogh light effects

A flash of light is bound to endure the long darkness.

Van Gogh's life was full of pain and frustration. Perhaps his whirlpool style is the portrayal of this life.

With these feelings, the creation of the "light of Van Gogh" this work.

One, the window lattice of material

The prototype of the window lattice is based on the sample panel in the fireworks color panel.

After you open the swatches panel, press the keyboard's Printscreen key, then CTRL + V, and then use the rectangular marquee to intercept a 4x4 plaid color lattice on the picture, and then convert the color grid to a graphic component.

Second, the window lattice painting

Drag the lattice elements from the library onto the canvas, and then use the distort tool to distort the lattice instances on the canvas.

Clone the instance, make a certain displacement, make it deviate slightly from the original instance, and then change its blending mode to "added" and add the "Gaussian blur" filter.

Clones the instance that was processed in step 2nd. This looks brighter.

Clone the instance of step 3rd, remove the filter, change the blending mode to "stamp", change the transparency to 80%, and then make it deviate slightly from the original instance.

Clones the instance of step 4th, Mixed mode to "added". Let the pane have the feeling of light transmission.

Third, the window shadow painting

Clone the bottommost instance, ctrl+shift+ the upper arrow, move it to the top level, and then use the Distort tool to form a projective shape.

Add two filters for this projection, respectively, the "Eyecandy" (foam) and the "Whirlpool effect." The parameter is custom-determined.

Clones the instance of step 2nd, after the ctrl+alt+shift+z is flattened, the blending mode is changed to "added", and the Gaussian blur filter is added.

Iv. Title and signature

For the title of this work, the Bracode font font is used.

The signature uses a lattice instance that changes the blending mode to overlay some of the light-emitting fonts produced.

Here is not detailed about its production process, interested friends can download the source file reference.

Finished production.
