Agree with your friend- You definitely improved your renders from the last round. It might need more layers of grunge between objects- between the slats - water drips- smudges on glass etc That said it needs to work for a cover- you probably need to have a darker sunset or night HDR background to bring the diner more into focus. I would also definitely suggest having a wet-map of some sort to get more lively reflections in your composition and asphalt. Is this rendering still intended to be a cover image? Does it need to live with other text?
With at least a half-dozen 4096s, I am pushing texture limits pretty bad. I am going to try to make a 3D wavy driveway, and try filling it in with water. I am not sure if there will be z-fighting or not, but I am going to give it a try.
Hi Jarek, Yes it needs characters. This will be a thing. Oddly, I want to put real people in front of it, and then shade them to look a little painterly to match. Oddly, I made 3D printed 2 physical pistol hero-props for the cover. The gist of it it will headlights on the 3 characters, 2 pulling pistols, one beckoning the others to wait. IF I can find people who will work out, then I will have to make stencil textures of them to shadow the headlights on the front of the diner.

A specular map was added to simulate rain. Work was done on the diner metal, though, I am still not happy with it, and a lot of it depends on the whatever is in the environment map, or dome in this case.
Beer bottles were added. There are 3 little stories in this render. One is that someone felt ripped off by the charger, and tried to ram it, and other is that someone sat outside and drank while they read a newspaper. The third story was a sad one, unbenounced to me, as I took the background image with my cellphone, the thunderstorm had started a fire that burned much of Santa Cruz county. The CZO fire would spread smoke all through Santa Clara County. Coyotes came down from the hills; pets disappeared.
Sadly, the bricks are much too large. : (
Fixed. Also increased the stainless reflection a bit, reduced the bump on the curb a bit, added hexagons for the nuts on the pole, perhaps they might gleam a bit. Fifteen minutes of effort; another day of rendering, but not right now.
The Anthora is a design for a disposable paper cup for coffee that has become iconic of New York City daily life. The cup was originally designed by Leslie Buck of the Sherri Cup Company in 1963, to appeal to Greek-owned coffee shops in New York City, and was later much copied by other companies. Sherri was later acquired by the Solo Cup Company, which in turn was acquired by Dart Container in 2012. The name is said to come from Buck's Eastern European-accented pronunciation of the word ampho...
Using just Photoshop, we're going to turn an ordinary photograph into a stencil worthy image in just a few minutes!
I was bored today and decided I wanted to make a stencil. Looking through my old profile pictures on facebook, I found a particular one that I thought might make a good stencil. After playing around for a bit, I discovered this process for turning it into a two-color image on photoshop.
Keep in mind, you can also use this for silk screening, or any other process that requires a smooth edged image.
Does anyone know what type of spray paint I should use? I'm worries that standard car spray may not take, as it's designed to go on a primer base and the ammo boxes already have a green top coat 'paint job' on them. I need the paint to 'take' and be hard wearing.
I've got a couple of those very same stencils (fm different source). I'd say about any good enamel or lacquer will do the job....& don't be overly concerned about longevity. If they 'wear out' or fade, it's simple to just replace with a fresh container, bring the old'n home & re-furb it....and that won't happen frequently enough to be any major issue.
A lot of it depends on knowing HOW to apply the paint. Several light coats, drying well between applications, rather'n one "gooshing" it all on at once is key 1. Key sub-1 is making sure the stencil lays FLAT on your target, so your edges don't get 'fuzzed'. Keep the spray can the recommended minimum 12" away, & make sure your paint hits 'vertically', ie, not spraying onto the stencil at an angle.
One more: Stencils are actually made for using with a stencil brush - BUT YOU GOTTA KNOW HOW TO USE 'EM - & isn't as easy as it looks, so generally, not recommended. Best non-spray choice is a paint roller, if you can get the right setup....with that, one coat WILL do it.
I highly doubt Rust-Oleum rusty metal primer works nearly as good as the already primed ammo cans. Ammo cans have to meet strict Govt. standards. All I do is a clean the original paint with some denatured alcohol, to remove and oils. I use flat camo paint for the stencils, and have never noticed any paint falling off.
As for what type/brand, it doesn't seem to. I use the cheapest spray paint that Wal-Mart sells. I think it's 97 cents a can, save for a couple colors I like to use that run a couple dollars apiece. It eventually gets scraped up a bit if you hide it in a bunch of rocks, but never in 5+ years of hiding ammo cans have I needed to take one out of service for repainting.
I use a stencil too. I made my own. I went to a hobby shop and got a magnetic sticky-back SHEET. It's about letter-sized and completely covers an ammobox side. I cut my logo out of the magnetic strip, keeping in mind that only one side is magnetic. That will leave the sticky-back side on the outside. I still haven't taken off the sticky-back covering. With the whole stencil as a magnet, the thin parts of my stencil magnetically hug the metal ammo box. I give it a few sprays and let it dry. After it's dry, I move the stencil over to the next ammo box.
Before I use the stencil, I paint the box flat black with cheap outdoor spray paint. It has to be the outdoor stuff though. I saw the rough-texture paint, but it is for indoor use. That means temporary use. Like a previous poster said, even when the box doesn't get completely clean, the outdoor paint still sticks. I paint the whole box (everything visible while the lid is shut) to get rid of the little yellow notes left over from military use. After the dry black hides the old text, I use my magnetic stencil and use dull grey, or brown, or green. They all stand out against the black and is easily readable if you look at the box and is still somewhat cammo'd if you aren't looking for it. After the stencil paint dries, I might use a very light coating of more black paint to darken the text if it stands out too much. I hold the paint can at a good distance and just mist the black aimed at the logo text, watching to see when it gets dark enough without putting so much on it that it's gone, just enough to make it not stand out from a distance.
Now, they're cut out of mylar. I had to order these out by the thousand, because of a career change. The maylar is the best material so far. I'm still using that same mylar stencil from when I first got the product in.
Anyway, I think using a quality paint like Rustoleum or Krylon (being my favorite) is important because of the high pigment content. This allows better coverage in a lighter coat. A lighter coat works well with a stencil to reduce paint build up on the stencil, runs, and any chance of the paint running under the stencil due to capillary action. Plus, the can dries faster so it can be handled sooner. It's just all round better to use light, mist coats.
Oh, don't worry about paint build up on the mylar ruining it, even Krylon (though I don't know about the Fusion stuff) won't stick. If you get enough build up that it makes the stencil stiff the paint will flake off. I don't worry about build up until paint chips fall off, then I just help it along off my work so they don't get in the wet paint. (Then again that's just extra camo.)
