Mayan and others

Post by glenninvb »

Well, I don't own PVC but I have been playing around with inkscape and PVC trial ver. to try to make some deep relief faux stone carvings.
Kind of a fake grey scale using desaturate, invert, and blur on generic photo's of stone carvings.
I was trying to decide on buying VCP just to try something like this and finish with faux metal coatings.
Guess my question is, anyone do anything like this w/PVC

There are quite a few threads knocking about plus a couple of tutorials. Search for "grayscale" and you should find them.
