Two new other effects derived from Texan's effect

[Arwin Profile]

I saw one of Texan's latest effects Great looking peeling paint effect which looks great, but I thought this was a new cracking texture as I did not remember to saw it before in the SPE effect gallery (I can be wrong ).
So I thought to create a cracking/peeling effect with it and being doing that, I thought to do it also the other way around..

Hope they will be of any (fun) use

And here are the two I build upon Texan's effect:

You can change the color of the wall paint (use the Hue slider) and reposition the wall painting behind the wall paint.
Tip: use a pencil, oils or any other artistic effect first before applying the Wall painting behind cracked wall paint effect, and with a white vignette you can drag your image anywhere behind the wall paint..

Nice job Arwin,

Texan's effect is based on one of my textures from the past which is number 014 in the series 'Wood & paint textures', so if you fancy more of the same look up that series and you will find similar textures. Often Texan makes major changes to an effect and builds some really beautiful effects that I adore and I often start my variations by typing Texan, Arwin, Tony, Superdave, Andrew, Vivienne Li and see what is available. Because, Texan's effect in this instance is almost identical to my original effect, I've got to say that I like what you have created more. I wonder what the Effects Gallery will look like in years to come. It is such an AMAZING and adaptable resource bank of ideas that can easily be reformulated by other users. To those who have not submitted any effects yet, perhaps this is where to start - that is, open up an existing effect using the 'Manual Edit' facility and tweak it - open the dialog boxes in turn and play with the sliders. Once you like the result either save it for yourself or publish it to the community. This is the way I started, and I'm happy to acknowledge that many of my effects borrow from other contributors' work - so a big thanks to all the contributors that I have learned from. But, as you know Arwin, my days for contributing new effects are over.

Your resultant images from your approach look very interesting indeed and I will try them out sometime soon. Nice concept to be playing with (purely for FUN in my case)!

All the best my friend.

Kind regards,

Andrew

Well to be honest, the chance it was one of your effects, when it would exist already, I think it would be around.. 90%?!

But honestly I see no difference between your Wood & paint textures 014 and Texan's Great looking peeling paint effect.. I'm I wrong, do I miss something?

Are those Wood & paint textures new in SPE, not derived from other effects? If so I will dig in that serie, to see if I can create some more of them as I did.

Thanks for the update Andrew

Regards,
Arwin

Hi Arwin,

They are not new they have been around for quite a while now - maybe over a year (can't remember) - they are certainly not derived from other effects as these came from close up photographs that I took of old boats at a harbour somewhere in the North East of Scotland - in fact I'll see if I can dig out the originals which you are welcome to if you wish (if I can find them).

UPDATE:

I've had a quick look and found an ARCHIVE folder with 2069 Fishing Boat Textures similar to the one in question (it might even be the series that one came from) - about a third of those are the untouched originals, the other two thirds have been further processed in SPE to give more variety. I've only used a few of these in my effects. The folder is 6.82GB and you are very welcome to a copy of the complete folder to do what you wish with - keep for yourself, use in effects, whatever you wish ... use the freely without any acknowledgement, for private or commercial use - you can freely distribute them too. If you want these send me a 'Private' message using the forum to include your normal email address and I will send you a DROPBOX link for you to retrieve them. I'll reply via my normal email address and therefore we can easily communicate on future things. If you are not happy to do this, that's fine. Anyway, thought you might find some inspiration from these textures.

Keep up the good work,

Andrew

Thank you Andrew,

Yeah I remember you uploaded the serie, but my answer is in your second answer of by second question (Can you still follow? )
In other words, I needed to know if the used wood & paint textures where yours and not derived from other effects, because in worst case the effects I create with them could already be exist in the gallery, but this is not the case I see

It would be great if you want to share your wood & paint textures with me, I already thought to ask you because if I use them from your Wood & paint textures effects, they will be resized in the photo size I use, in anycase better to use the original size if I can!

6.82GB is a lot , you may do a selection and transfer them by dropbox, but if it's easer for you to upload them all, no problem by me.
I'll send you a pm with my email, it's indeed handy for future communications too.

@Tony:
I don't think Texan did uploaded an existing effect with a different name on pupose, he normaly does set is own stamp on his effects which are often derived from existing effects.
But out of curiosity, I need to ask you, those two effects are compleet equal and I thought the activate routine you're using would reject equal effects? I checked them in the editor, because maybe I missed some on visual, but even the properties in the Hue Saturation Brightness node are equal

Even some seemingly trivial difference can mean that an effect is considered different enough. It's also possible that occasionally an effect which is the same can slip through.

Oke, thanks Tony
