| KPT Effects - Fluid | |
KPT
Fluid
Apply liquid-like distortions that simulate dragging a brush
through fluid. Controls allow you to adjust the thickness of
the liquid, brush size, and velocity.
Same
original image as in the previous example.
Here I used the same original, first applying Pyramid
Paint and then using Fluid to swirl the colors together.
Fluid doesn't look terribly exciting here, and by description alone you might think it's similar to the KPT Goo or Photoshop Liquify command, but it's not quite the same. The Fluid filter turns your image into a liquid consistency where you can interactively drag your brush through and watch the fluid effect mutate as it ripples and swirls before your eyes. As the fluid effects occurs, you can pause the distortion and step backward, forward, or replay the distortion.
I was not able to step forward or replay the effect after rewinding, and I am currently pursuing this issue with technical support and I will update this page when I know more. You are also supposed to be able to save the fluid effect as an animated movie, but I was not able to get this feature to work.
Still, it's a very cool effect which you really have to experience to appreciate.
