# yes! you have captured the connor
are you still using the default renderer? these would look even better with some global illumination and tings. or maybe it can do that already.

# I haven't really played with the external renderers much.
I have AO on -- add only. Thx.

# tis very nice
was just thinking aloud as I've been interested in extremely slow rendering methods recently, not had a proper look at blender yet.

# I agree with Bloop I think especially the still frame ones would look even better
if put through some of the free external renderers like LuxRender or Yafray although for animations certainly LuxRender is completely out of the question unless you happen to own a massive computer network as a render farm. :D

# Beez!
Total tj that's also a massive longshot:
Ages ago I managed to get a corrupted pixelly kind of effect in Paint Shop Pro for some wallpapers. There's one of them here. I want to recreate the effect now but I have no idea how I did it. Does anyone have a clue what I might've done? I think I probably started out with 32x32 pixellated stuff like this but dunno how I got from that to the final look. It's driving me mad experimenting with everything I can think of!

Edit: figured it out now, thanks helpful people :)
These are the steps here if anyone fancies trying it in other image apps or messing around with it
Edit2: Although I missed of the last step...whacking the contrast up to full so it's just black & white

# I'll have a try...
does that include the slightly warped look of it or just the pixely bits?
edit: i give up, this is more complicated than I thought.

# Ta for trying
but see below, I think I've got it. Although I'd be intrigued to know if it comes out like this in Photoshop or other graphics programs.

Edit: And now I will write down the method, so I don't forget in future :)

# Ah, never mind, I think I've got it
I was wrong about starting with the pixelly bits.
Just start with 50% grey noise, overlay a very faint gradient, pixellate the lot, gaussian blur 8px then whack the contrast up to full. I think the corrupty bits are just down to PSP's crap blurring :D
(I helped save b3ta! Tangy bzzzzzzzzt, Sat 14 Aug 2010, 23:49, archived)
# yeah I don't think you should end up with lines like that from a gaussian blur
what does it look like before you change the contrast?

# Glad you've cracked it, I was getting nowhere.
Well, I was gettign somewhere, but I think it was in entirely the wrong direction... i646.photobucket.com/albums/uu188/MadisonRose/tangyspixelscubism-1.gif

# maybe you didnt start with those pixels
and instead started with one of the brushes or spray brushes and made it really zoomed in?

edit - some pencil tools in photoshop made big gives you the weird corruptions

# Ooh interesting
I've not tried messing around with zooming in on things, will have to have a tinker.
