My first doodle after reading through the info. I found out about verve quite recently and started searching on youtube for more info when I came across someone that recorded some interesting brushes he used in verve. And it really clicked with me, I love using massive amounts of lines and random chaos to create concepts. There aren't any good software for this, or even brushes really. But verve, is fluid simulation! In essence, no two strokes is ever the same. I tried learning to make brushes and settings that resembles the video I saw. I'm not really a painter or artist I would say, I mainly model 3D, but drawing is very important too, but I just don't have the time or patience to make a concept painting for 3 hours and then start 3D. I love verve! And I'm completely blown away by it.

2 Points I feel like adding about the software now that I've tested it out some is the canvas size. Todays computers can probably handle larger sizes now. Second is the project save time. It's a bit long, but I have no idea how this kind of file is saved to begin with... and compared to rendering 3D images it's nothing xD I just felt that if those two could be improved It'd be great. Though honestly it works excellent as is, I've yet to find a single bug or complaint, it's all so amazing! Thank you so much Taron!
The canvas is the stage and the paint is the orchestra. I'm only the conductor, along for the ride.

Re: Everybody's First Doodle

First of all: Welcome to the forum, Validtility! :beer:
What a fantastic first doodle this one is! :ob
I'm assuming that you've seen some of puds videos, who is the absolute master and- as far as I can tell- the inventor of this technique in Verve. :bow:

Anyway, Verve can have as large a canvas as your graphics card permits for a single "texture image". But it requires several layers to do its thing, running into memory and performance limitations at least 4 times earlier than a single image would.
The project saving is indeed rather slow, but that's because I am using BlitzMax, which has to jump through a number of hoops to perform all the necessary actions, chief of them is the memory transfer of large amounts of data. Internally the layers are at 32bit per channel and I'm pulling that data from the card into memory chunk by chunk and crunch them with standard zlib compression, making this a slow procedure. I'm fairly certain that I'll be able to do a faster routine later on in C++, but I won't really know until I'll have done. :shrug: There's always hope! :)

All in all, I'm very thrilled about your post, everything about it including the impressive and ominous first doodle! :shock: :twisted:
You should make yourself a signature here via the User Control Panel, and include your system specs and most certainly a link to your 3d stuff, because I'd love to check that out, too!

Again, welcome to the forum and you are very welcome! :beer:

Re: Everybody's First Doodle

Thanks for the warm welcome and questions answered Taron! I see, I forgot it uses textures. Verve really is quite unorthodox after all :o I'm impressed as always.
I fixed my signature? I think? And all my stuff - good or bad - can be found in my deviantart gallery. I suggest going to it and press "All" in sorting gallery images to the top left almost, since I'm really horrible at sorting stuff! xD

Re: Everybody's First Doodle

OH... :o ...that is frightening!
Wow, you come with a strong style right off the bet, though! Very, very cool and strongly expressive! :shock:
...funny, because it reminds me a little of "trash polka" or what that tattoo style is called. Neat! :ob c:!
Can't wait for your gallery thread to emerge! AND, of course, for you to get your hands on a powerful machine to work with. (Had to repeat that here again, too!)
THANKS for sharing...and...dang! :? 8-)

Re: Everybody's First Doodle

Thanks, Taron! I do tend to gravitate to tattoo-like style, though I'm not familiar with trash polka apart from a google search I did just now, lol.

Gonna create that gallery as soon as there are things to show!

Re: Everybody's First Doodle

My first painting of sorts after familiarizing myself with the program. This is one of my first landscape type pieces as well, inspired by Bob Ross and this magical new tool set

(Taron, here I made use of those fractal brush artifacts I was talking about, not always a bad thing!)

Re: Everybody's First Doodle

This is freaking BEAUTIFUL, Claytown! It really is absolutely magical and ominous at the same time. So many brilliant suggestions in there, too, like it was a carefully conceived painting with almost photoreal elements and then you went totally DADA over it, or so, hehe. Very, very artistic! c:!
Oh, I can't wait for your gallery either! I find myself telling that to virtually everybody, but I really mean it, too. :shrug: ...however, I do somehow now expect quite a magical thread! :)
I somehow imagine you can understand how thrilled it makes me feel, when I see somebody, who should really be using Verve, too! I'm excited! :hyper:
