Making wood.

[Jeff]

I decided to spend the morning creating wood from 1's ans 0's.    I decided to teach myself how to create woodgrain with photoshop as it could be very useful in some upcoming projects. In the past I always sampled from real wood or photos, but that is a pain and takes time to find what you need at a scale you need. Now I can create woodgrain in a vector format. This means I can scale it as big as I need without losing quality. This is a sample of my play/learning this morning. None of the wood in the photo is real. It was all created within photoshop.  I'm now experimenting with creating figure.

Here is a deer!

Wow...nice job.  When I saw you say making it with 1 and 0's I thought maybe you were working with a cnc router.  The second bear claw is really nice.  I was looking at it thinking you programmed the cut and was amazed at the little areas of light you can see coming through the pads in the claw.  Now I see it was rendered but very nice work!  Vectors are very handy to work with.

That ain't a deer, it's Rudolph. 

[POSTON WIDEHEAD]

That got my Goat....that's pretty good Jeff! I like it!
