Another “Jack Kirby in 3D” experiment. I probably should have spent longer picking the pose, something more “biff! bang! pow!” Kirby. But I just grabbed a classic statue pose to test the look of a 20mm lens and a “stretched” perspective camera.<\/p>\n

Here I’ve also added vintage paper as a background, some light halftoning via VanDerLee’s fine Halftone plugin, still available and in some ways still the best for Photoshop. My tests show that 2.2.13 runs fine as a plugin in PhotoLine and its serial “sticks”. However in Photoshop it must still be run inside a 32-bit wrapper, via the $25 AlphaPlugins LaunchBox. It will appear to run fine once its serial is input that way, and it does — but registration will not “stick” after the LaunchBox and Photoshop quit.<\/p>\n

Then some subtle finishing from a module found in the more recent Nik Collection.<\/p>\n

The 3D figure and suit are not optimised at all for tooning. Again, the head is not ideal (too cluttered), and for production a lot of work would need to be done on it to have it work well with the filter.<\/p>\n

Before you go buying a halftone filter, note that the free Paint.NET has a free Ed Harvey Effects v 4.0<\/a>. This has a fine fast Halftone, found under: Effects | Stylize | Halftone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The main drawback is that, like most Paint.NET plugins, it can’t save repeatable presets. And it can’t also be run in Photoshop.<\/p>\n

G’MIC has a free Halftone filter, but it’s difficult to control, slow, and is not always WYSIWYG. Photoshop also has one built-in, and while fast it’s also quite basic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
