Here are three of my latest Greeblelicious entries. Some created with Greeble, some with Particle Flow. There’s also an HD link under each one for your ‘browsing pleasure’. lol. They look pretty cool high res…
All the sparkles, glows, flares, etc are hand-made in Photoshop. I don’t particularly like using the PS plugins because they all end up looking the same so I make my own. It’s not too tough and worth the visual result.
I don’t render to element but I render everything in passes. For instance, the first image has an RGB pass, highlight pass, VRay Edges pass (seen at bottom), ambient occlusion pass, Shadow pass, etc.
Then I do it all in PS, including the background created from numerous elements. The only thing I will ever use a plugin for is for DOF, and, well, that would be my DOF PRO.
