Speed painting tute with PD Particles, spritesheet +another tool

Here's another tutorial thyat may be of interest if you use PD Particles for painting - in this example the focus is on using a few variants of grass and shrubbery presets to create a spritesheet full of tufts. Then load it into a paint proggy that converts the spriteshet into a single multi-frame brush (aka animated brush) so as you paint it sequentially pulls the image frames into your drawing. You can then fiddle with transparency, size and color tinting of the custom anim brush to convey impressions of perspective while painting a grassy hill - the speed painting way.

This is a technique you can use if you have PD Particles plus some other imaging tool that can take the image sequence with alpha channel masks into a single custom brush. In this tutorial I used PD Pro 4 but of course if you have Paint Shop Pro, the Gimp or other tools supporting image hoses or tubes or whatever you want to call them you should be able to do the same with that. Even the PD 2.1 should work for this.
If you just recently got PD Particles here at GG I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you and to remind you that you're entitled to a 40% discount to PD Pro 3 or 4 - contact me if you need that discount coupon.
