Fun tutorial this! Lots of possibilities for playing around.




@treadk
As Ali Imran points out, make sure you put the pattern on a new, tranparent layer and not on the starting "Background" layer.

Great tutorial!

[greendayfan]

thanks that help!! this is what I came up with

[Valtu]

Very nice tut! My results :)

[bobleny]

Here's my bowl...


They need to have a lip on them or something, rather than just ending....

[Louise]

going through clay ogres tutorial list to try out different things and i really liked this one, simple and such a nice result and the edge is supposed to be like that, tried for the amatuer hand crafted look dunno if i pulled it off >.< i like the bottom right the best personally ^_^

[mikethedj4]

Very easy and simple tutorial/effect bro. Nice work!

I wonder how I missed seeing this tutorial. It's very easy with cool results.

Nice bowls mike & molly! Mike your metal bowl is outstanding.

I made a chip & dip set.



Wanted this to look like an old copper bowl. Needs some verdigris in it somewhere.

[PhotoComix]

Wow...cool result..now i should read the tut :roll:

[molly]

@O.... those chippys and dip look so good.....Hey, and so are your bowls. lol.....

as PhotoComix says... COOL...

[mikethedj4]

Thanks Oregonian, dig the copper bowl.

[Oregonian]

Thanks, PhotoComix, Molly and Mike.

I was on a quest and found this image called verdigris stone.
http://farm2.static...._9ca49d5525.jpg
Here is the original image.




I cropped the image so that I had the left side of it with the ridge, and scaled it (with chain broken) so it was the same length & width. Added enough canvas to make it twice as high. Duplicated the layer, flipped one layer vertically and pulled it down (View > Snap to Canvas Edges) to the bottom and merged the layers to make a vertically seamless image.

Added enough canvas to make the image square, pulled the image all the way to the right in the canvas screen, Layers > Layer to image size, and used that to map to a sphere.

Here is an image of my finished mapping image. I added a white background so it would show well in here.



I did the same thing with the right side of the image. Cropped it off, scaled it to a square, made the canvas twice as long, duplicated, flipped, moved one layer down to the bottom, added canvas to make it square and used that.

The large bowl I used the whole image scaled to 300x300 and went through the same procedure. The ridge in the tile smoothed out. I was hoping somehow that would remain.

I was hoping that ridge would show so on a 4th bowl if I rotated it so that the ridge was horizontal. I scaled the image to 200x200, and rotated it 90 degrees. You can see the lines where the ridge was, but no 3D effect.

My four bowls. I love the largest one. It looks rough and old.

[molly]

O, you did it again. excellent........

[Oregonian]

I used the tile as is. Just lengthened it to make it twice as long. The final image with canvas ended up being 750x750. I thought there might be a line from it not being vertically seamless, but there isn't.

This is my favorite one of all. Really looks old and cruddy.

[molly]

Yes it is in 3D now and almost looks like you can scrape the bumps off. like an old artifact.......

Here are my last 4... for now lol

Molly , Oregonian

:) Bowls are getting better and better

Oregonian
you get a good idea for that texture..i see what you mean for the ridge would be cool add some thickness and roughness to the ridge, i mean without manual editing

But to have forced gimp to do a 3d results are already very good ( the bowls may well seems a render from a 3D app )

Molly
very nice also yours and you found too very interesting materials to texture the bowls

Thanks PhotoComix. It's pretty easy to select the inner bowl part with the ellipse selection tool. I duplicated my bowl layer, did the selection, inverted and deleted. Then I inverted the selection again, decreased the selection by 5 and deleted so I had a 5 pixel wide ellipse.

I ran bevel & emboss: Inner bevel. Chose a dark copper area for the color for the shadow and a pale blue-green shade for the gloss. Then locked the transparency on that layer and ran the pick filter. Figured that was enough. It roughed it and gave a sense of thickness to the bowl. It took me longer to write about it than doing it.

[PhotoComix]

:) that is fine..i must try myself to do one...
