Haha, this time the actual combat "upgrades"--space edition. This kind of space map is actually used in many commercial design, but for copyright fees, precision, photographic costs and other aspects of consideration, in the actual design of the production staff are sometimes required to draw their own, when there are some special Photoshop production methods, The producers can also be proud to make very lifelike images-and the wages of such a standard computer producer ... Cough off topic, want to know how to draw down to see it.

What, you look familiar? Sure enough, this example diagram of the composition of the idea is indeed from Taiwan bend "Yi-Teng advertising company," Mr. Yongjian's works "BK80 Atomic pen", I would like to declare the point is that I do not want to steal the idea of Mr. Wu, but only for this article deliberately made this map, Just take this picture to show you that Photoshop is not Yi thought, the broad and profound small corner!

System requirements: PHOTOSHOP5.0, this example of the file initially set 18.8x24.6cm 135dpi RGB color, 3.7M, the completion of a layered map for the hard disk 54.7M, I use PC for CII566, 64M memory, Mac for g4-400, 196M memory, The production is very fluent, if the configuration is not enough will be a little slower, too slow to set the file smaller. Hard disk space should be more than 800M, preferably at 1.5G or so, you can set File-preferences-plug Ins Scratch disks to control the hard disk location used by Photoshop. When making, pay attention to save more disk. The author's production time: 2 hours.

Note: The round scraping letter for the general shortcut key, to be used in English input method;

Side scraping number inside for Apple Computer shortcut keys;

To copy the layer method, press and hold the layer you want to copy to the layers panel to create the NEW layer button.

The creation of a "cloud" on the planet: (as in the drawing of clouds, one to 12)

7-12 figure as follows:

This is the focus of this map, the entire planet's texture, the three-dimensional sense of the main through its embodiment. In this section I have opened a separate file to do:
1. Create a new document:

Ctrl+n[command+n], set as 20x20cm, 300pixels/inch, RGB;

First fill in the bottom map as black:

In the tool panel, click the background color Brackground color (note: The top left box is the foreground color, the lower right is the background) and in the color picker set to black, with ctrl+backspace [Command+delete] fill in the color;

2, again draw the center of the Circle: (as Figure I)

Click the Layers Panel to create new Layer button to create a new layer;

Hold down SHIFT without using the (M) key to select the Ellipse tool, and then hold down the shift+alt[shift+option button to draw a positive circle in the middle;

In the tool panel, select the background color Brackground color and set it to R148 G148 B148 in the Color picker, and fill in the color with ctrl+backspace [Command+delete];

Ctrl+d[command+d] Deselect the scope of the selection;

3. Turn the circle into a scatter:

Using Filter-noise-add noise starting point (Figure II) and using Filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 2;

Using Select-color range To select some of the scattered points, in the selection of the white bottom of the circle and there are as many black spots as possible, white-black ratio of about: 6:4, because the scatter is random, this is the performance of the nebula randomness laid a foundation;

Click the Create New Layer button in the layers panel to create a new layer, select the background color below the tool panel Brackground color and set it to white in color picker, with ctrl+backspace [command+ Delete] Fill in the color (figure III);

Using Filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 1 (as shown in Fig. IV);

At this time this layer is too light, copy this Layer two times, in the layers panel on the three-layer click on the right side of the box link up, select the layers panel right on the small triangle under the merge linked synthesis of each copy layer (as shown in Figure V);

Now the point is a little bit smaller, need to make a little bigger:

Hold down SHIFT without using the (M) key to select the Ellipse tool, select a small positive circle in its center, Ctrl+c[command+c], ctrl+v[command+v], and turn off the eye of the original image on the layers panel (figure VI);

CTRL+T[COMMAND+T] Hold down the SHIFT key to enlarge to the original size (figure seven);

4, the scatter to do the effect of deformation:

Use Filter-distort-zigzag to do the watermark deformation, set Amount25, Ridges5 (Figure Eight);
Then use Filter-distort-wave to do wave deformation, set (as shown in Figure L1)

Specific: Number of generators 5, wavelength:min 4, Max 100, Amplitude:4, 100, Horiz 20, Vert 20, Type:sine (Figure Nine);

Hold down the SHIFT key to select the Ellipse tool, select a range, use the rotation effect of filter-distort-twirl as a "typhoon" on the planet, and rotate angle to 200 to +200 (Figure 10), In this step when attention to whether the size of the ellipse or rotation of the direction of the strength to "live" point, do not let people feel that the machine painting, this is your own work! (Figure 11)

In the middle of the whole figure select a as large as possible circle, with filter-distort-spherize for the fish eye deformation, set amount for 100, and this part of the map with Ctrl+c[command+c], Ctrl+v[command+v] key cut out, Turn off the original layer's eyes on the layers panel;
Copy this cut out of the layer, put the following layer of Blur 15, on the layers panel transparency opacity set to 55, on the layers panel of the two click on the right side of the box link up, select the layers panel right on the small triangle under the merge linked synthesis of these two layers. Now your nebula is ready (see Figure 12).

In fact, in this case the "nebula" applied to the effect: "Filter-noise-add noise" starting point, is an amazing function! If you are a master of Photoshop, really, you can use it to make a lot of the image of the non-Yi. I remember I had a colleague in Guangzhou two years ago, is a master of Chinese painting and Photoshop, she is very good at using this "Add noise", coupled with some blur, deformation and color of the use, she can easily make snow, rust, fly, clouds, stone lines, wood lines, to make waves 滢 滢 water, A cigarette of smoke, a blazing flame ... A piece of exquisite incomparable! It can be said that this example only uses the "ADD noise" changes in the small Lotus corner.

At that time I was stunned and amazed, and it was that day that made me feel that Photoshop was so profound that I felt so small in the vast world of Photoshop. Until now, really, I still feel that I am just a beginner, and everyone else, for that kind of small function can be used to transform the magic of the myriad changes of the "MR.P.S" (real image Master)-with incomparable admiration and yearning!

The Making of the planet:

1, to do the planet's blue bottom:

Click the Layers Panel to create new Layer button to create a new layer;

Hold down SHIFT without using the (M) key to select the Ellipse tool, and then hold down the shift+alt[shift+option button to draw a positive circle in the middle;

Under the tool panel, select the foreground color background color and color picker set to R11 G27 B121,ctrl+backspace[command+delete];

Use ctrl+t[command+t] and hold down SHIFT key to adjust the size of the blue bottom, select the middle adjustment position so that it and "nebula" completely coincide;

2. Make a mask on the nebula to allow the nebula to show only a limited range:

Click the Layers panel to add Layer mask to add the hood, hold down shift without using the (G) key to select the fan Gradient tool radial gradient tool and double-click the tool, the Options Panel Point Edit button, double-click the color control block, in color Picker the left color control block to black, the right color control block set to white;

To pull out of the center of the planet, you need to increase the black range in the black and white gradient so that the nebula shows only a limited range;

3. Make a blurry black ellipse on the first layer of the nebula:

Click the Layers Panel to create new Layer button to create a new layer;

Hold down SHIFT without using the (M) key to select the Ellipse tool, and then hold down the shift+alt[shift+option button to draw a small positive circle in the middle of the sphere;

Under the tool panel, select the foreground color background color and set it to black in color picker, ctrl+backspace[command+delete] color;

Then using Filter-blur-gaussian Blur fuzzy 40,layers panel to set normal as multiply;

4, and then on top of it make a fuzzy blue oval,

Click the Layers Panel to create new Layer button to create a new layer;

Hold down SHIFT without using the (M) key to select the Ellipse tool, and then hold down the shift+alt[shift+option button without moving, drawing a smaller circle in the middle of the sphere;

Under the tool panel, select the foreground color background color and color picker set to R11 G27 B121,ctrl+backspace[command+delete];

And then using Filter-blur-gaussian Blur Blur 40, that is to complete the production of the main star;

You can save the planet as a file for the call.

* Tips: When making a larger piece of work, often the inside of a "part" itself is very large and complex, or to be called in the works many times, then we can put this "part" into another file separately saved, that is, to reduce the size of the work file and convenient for the next multiple calls.

Put into the planet:

1. Create a new document:

Ctrl+n[command+n], set to 18.8x24.6cm, 135pixels/inch, RGB color;

2, then transfer into the "planet":

Click on the "Planet file", the layers panel on the background of the black layer of the eye off, click on the Layers panel on the right side of the small triangular selection merge visible merged visible layer;

Press Ctrl+a[command+a] Select all, Ctrl+c[command+c], and then click the new file Ctrl+v[command+v] to get the planet;

3, the lower right of the small stars:

Copy this layer, use ctrl+t[command+t] and hold down shift to reduce the deformation, click the middle drag to the desired position, select the eraser Tool (E) eraser tool, in the brushes panel select a diameter of 50 strokes, the redundant part of the erase.

Glow of the "Dawn":

1, do the luminous "Light Thorn":

Click the Create New Layer button in the layers panel to create a new layer, and drag to the "Planet layer" below, select the pen Tool (P) path tool to tick the "Light Thorn" shape, (see figure L2);

In the Paths panel, press Ctrl[command] to convert work path to selection, click the foreground color in the tool panel below background color and set the color picker to white, Ctrl+backspace[command +delete] coloring;

Copy this layer, hold down SHIFT key not to use the M key to select the Ellipse tool, press and hold shift+alt[Shift+option] key, to "fine thorn" of the eruption point for the center draw a larger positive circle, with filter-blur-radial Blur zoom for radiation blur, Set amount to 100, quality selected good, carriage return, ctrl+f[command+f] repeated to enhance the radiation blur;

Then copy the layer and use Filter-blur-gaussian Blur blur 20, copy this layer three times, and on the layers panel to the left of the four-story box all click on the link, select the Layers panel on the right side of the small triangle under the merge linked synthesis of each copy layer, Set the normal mode to color Dodge mode, adjust the transparency opacity 95 to achieve the best effect;

2, now make the halo of the planet's Edge:

Click the Create New Layer button on the layers panel to create a new layer, and drag it below the planet floor, make a white circle as big as the planet, move it a little to the left, blur it and overlay it in screen mode, make a mask, use linear gradients, color black, white, black, Let the glow in the luminous part of the brightest, and weak on both sides to reflect the effect of light in the air. Copy this layer, overlay in color Dodge mode, and adjust the transparency of these two layers.

The production of instrument tail Halo:

1. Use the pen Tool (P) path tool to hook the shape of the tail halo (Figure L3);

2, in the Paths panel, press Ctrl[command] key does not click Work path conversion to select range, click the Layers panel under the Create NEW Layer button, in the tool panel below the selection foreground color foreground color and in color Picker is set to white, alt+backspace[option+delete] colored and superimposed on the layers Panel in screen mode;

3, in the Layers panel, press Ctrl[command] key Click this layer to select the range, with the Select-feather set a value of 20, press a backspace[delete] key to the end of the halo of the middle cut through.

Other parts of the production:

Making of the night sky:

1, po a layer of Blue bottom, tool panel below the selection foreground color background color and in the color picker set to R11 G27 b121,ctrl+backspace[command+delete] color;

2, with the choice of pen Tool (P) path tool, in the lower left to draw an arc of the black Shape, the tool panel below the selection of the foreground color background color and in the color picker set to black, ctrl+backspace[command+ Delete] coloring;

3, Filter-blur-gaussian Blur fuzzy 50,layers panel to adjust normal to multiply mode overlay;

4, Ctrl+t[command+t] and hold down the SHIFT key to enlarge the deformation, to the lower right side of the imaginary edge hidden outside the surface.

The production of stars:

1, the choice of inkjet tools Air Brushe Tool (J), open the Brushes panel, click on the right side of the triangle, into the load brushes election: photoshop5.0\goodies\brushes\assorted brushes, import strokes;

2, the choice of 10 pen (with a small), the tool panel below the selection of the foreground color background color and in the color picker set to white, where you want to draw a place to click.

Note that when used, the direction of each cross should be consistent, otherwise the light will not be true, and the length of time can control the shade of the stars.

3, in the layers panel on this layer of overlay mode set to color Dodge, super luminous!

The red line in the lower right corner is drawn with the path, stroke path under "triangle" on the path panel, and of course you can draw it in Freehand Ctrl+c[command+c], ctrl+v[command+v], Cowper to Photoshop. One of the blue bottom is used up and down gradient color, and the horizontal direction with the cover to let the right light some, because this part is not the focus of this introduction, I will not explain in detail.

The creation of three-dimensional words in the picture because there is a similar introduction in the previous period is not repeated here, the instrument can be replaced by other things (Diablo?) ）。

The following diagram is the hypothetical effect completion diagram for this example (Figure XGT),

In the actual business design is often used in fact, and other companies to bid on the draft can rely on it! Next time I will focus on the design of the production techniques, I hope you can enjoy.
