Manipulate Smoke to Create Hyper-Real Images – Screencast

“Learn to apply the Warp Tool effectively and a few other tricks to make smoke look like a skull. This technique has a variety of outcomes and works well with water, clouds and a whole bunch of other stuff. This is probably more for intermediate users, as I guide you through the process well, but not every Warp Grid point handle move. Let’s get started!” James Davies

Here is a link to the written version of the tutorial Manipulate Smoke to Create Hyper-Real Images and the video version is below.

    But the link to the written version links to the screencast?

    Thanks for the tutorial!
    The link is wrong, get rid of the -screencast at the end and it should work

    great tutorial !! gavin if you read this would you mind creating a tutorial on how to get rid off hard backgrounds like for example how you got rid off the background of the tree in the tutorial HOW TO CREATE A SLICE OF NATURE .

    if you can do that that would be a great help for me thanks again :)

    Great! I wish it was shorter though! You can also do this with long exposure light paintings, even without using the Glowing Edges filter
