Lazy Lake Tutorial
This tutorial by all means created and completely my inspiration. Any similarities from this tutorial is only by coincidence.
I found the blings and mask somewhere on the internet, but I don't remember where. If the creator of this bling visits my blog and sees it here please by all means send me an Email so that I can give you the credit and I'll also post a link to your page.
I thank the makers of the materials from this tut for their awesome work. I would not have made this without their help.
This tut was made on version X8.
Materials:
Open the 'Lazy Lake jls zip'.
Place jls stained glass green in your texture folder.
Place @nn_230610_mask_025_tdstudio in your mask folder.
Place jls stained glass green in your picture tubes folder.
Download Jasc Animation Shop HERE. Install.
Place your Animation Shop program where ever you'd like on your pc.
Place sparkle.8bf into your plugins folder.
(or go to Plugin Filters Unlimited 2.0 download HERE)
For the gradient (Step 2): Materials Palette, foreground #d7d377, background #353c17, linear, angle 45. You will be following steps 1, 2, and 3 a total of 3 times saving each time as: Painting 1, 2 and 3 the only difference will be for step 2 as follows
Painting 1 = The gradient repeat is 0
Painting 2 = The gradient repeat is 1
Painting 3 = The gradient repeat is 2
