Hi,
Thanks to all who took part in our previous challenge, there were some great ideas to hide the cellphone mast.
This week we have something a bit different. I made this cell like pattern in Adobe Substance 3D Designer. It was for a different purpose and was made with a full set of 3D maps to use as a material. I wondered though what this group could make with the Base Colour map? So here it is. You could use all of it, part of it, or tile it (it was made to tile) and use the extended pattern to make something new.
When you post your response can you add just a few words on how you went about it. It may help others see the potential of different approaches, software, and tools to such a challenge.
The “rules”:
- Use the starter image as at least part of your own image entry.
- Anything goes, as long as it meets the forum rules on decency, copyright, etc.
- Anyone, and everyone, is welcome to have a go, whether you are a complete beginner or a Photoshop expert. This is not just for our forum “regulars”.
- The challenge is not limited to Photoshop. Any Adobe software can be used.
- There are no prizes apart from the chance to practice, show off your skills, or bring a bit of humor and fun. Don't be shy, join in and have a go!

No really. On the nose...
This is going to be long. So of course I had to do some 3D thing, I went to Photoshop beta and I uploaded a custom parametric filter called VG Trail Warp that is free and available on Substance 3D community Assets (Made by CG Vinny). Changed some hues and colors too. Then I dropped this image into Sampler and created a 3D material. Then I sent it to Stager and applied it on some 3D models. At the end I corrected the back of the scene with the generative tools in Photohsop. I hope you like it! 🙂
If I got to run the laboratory... Welcome to the Skate Lab!
1) I generated a Firefly image with the prompt "Firefly_skateboard ramp at a skatepark inside a cleanroom with laboratories and microscopes".
2) Then used that as a background in Dimension where I added the 3d skateboard (from Adobe Stock).
3) The graphic didn't show with "Ray Tracing" enabled, so I rendered it with a blank deck then opened it in Photoshop to apply the skateboard/cell graphic.
Have a RAD weekend, everyone!

Just a wee bit of drawing and moving about, and a few kinds of masking.
