GLITSCHKA
Von R. Glitschka
For “Beautiful,” Von R. Glitschka placed his model and Japanese text against one of
his intricate patterns (see the Mastering Complexity chapter for more on how to
create patterns). He then used Live Effects throughout to create the
interaction between his objects and their environment. To lift the Kanji
characters from the background, he used Outer Glow in Multiply mode,
creating an even shadow around the calligraphy.
But to separate his model from the background pattern, he maintained
directional lighting. He filled an object that matched her shape with the same
blue as the background, and moved it a bit to the right, added a 20 pixel
Gaussian Blur, and set the layer to Multiply mode with a slightly reduced
opacity. He used the Gaussian Blur effect frequently to create the shadows
cast on her skin by her hair and to soften transitions when modeling the skin
tones. He used the Inner Glo w effect in Multiply mode to add a soft shadow
within an object.
