xray look?

[DDD]

Does anyone know how to go about making an xray image all in photoshop? Or has anyone seen a tutorial? I found images online but they are not nearly as big as I need them. 8 1/2 by 11 300dpi! So we are talking immense. Any help greatly appreciated.

bump......need help...man down

i might have something, but im at work and dont have anything in front of me, is this something that could possibly wait till tonight? Again the effect I have "may" work...

^guess that was pretty ambiguous...lol

Have you tried searching for a really really big picture of a plain skeleton and just applying some x-ray type effects to it? You could just give it a black background and change the skeleton color. Then you could make a vector outline of the body around it and fill it in.
Don't know if that's what your lookin for, but it's all I can come up with at the moment.

[DDD]

yes. It is the xray type effect I am having problems with.

[mlk]

if anyone has a solution to this i'd be glad to know first...
thing is since an xray shows bones & flesh and skin you need all three components, blend them to one tone of colors (dark blue/white) and then work with transparencies I guess...

I am close kinda......Still working with it. If I get it Ill post it. I know I will not be able to make a tut since I have already forgot most of what I have done to get this far.

hmm i know back in the day wehn i used fw4 there ws this set of filters called eye candy? they had a good xray effect there. try to get it, its from like alien something its really good and prob cheap now. if its not eye candy (which i think it is) its their other set.

[eilsoe]

I think it's called Alien Skin...

I've heard about it somewhere...

here you go, this is an x-ray effect within PS without the need for 3rd party filters.

1 - convert pic to greyscale

2 - invert pic
(ctrl+I, or go to image/adjustments/invert)

now you have a x-ray effect!

hope this helps..

Thx I tried it and it was just not convincing enough. Trying to get it photo realistic yet 100% PS...But thanks anway.

if it weren't for the 100% photoshop, i figured out how you can get the x-ray effect. the only problem is you get it on photopaper... so it's a "real" picture...
heres an example of what you can do, post if you're interested.
when i scan it in, the example will be at the site below.

hmm, seems to have looked better on the photo paper... oh well...

[mlk]

yeah but the thing is you need pictures of bones + skin to be able to make an x-ray. don't how else you can

I used a 3D Studio Max skeleton model, some organs I found laying around (te he he), and muscles.

It's not perfect yet (the leg and arm muscles have to be moved into place) and maybe adjust saturation and hue a bit. Oh, and he needs an esophagus....LOL

If you think you can finish it let me know I'll tell you where to download to .psd.

Hope you have a broadband connection.....IT'S 10MB!!!!!:stunned:

:edit:
On second thought, I could just post the skeleton and tell you where I give the link to the muscles I found...????....Either way.....

[DDD]

did you do te whole ting in 3ds? I actually only need the ankle area but I am curious as to how you did it. lemme know where I can cgeck out the psd. :)

[morse]

...I was going to suggest modeling a skeleton... :-\

[BBatPA]

3d-iva,

No just the skeleton was done in 3ds.....The rest was "pieced together" and done in PhotoShop...
