Looking to make bamboo sticks for a border. Anyone know a round about way i can do this?


It has just been discovered that research causes cancer in rats

I'ld say do one section using Paths, then colour it by hand. Copy and Move to make more bambo. Hmm... maybe drop some light Airbrush on Dissolve and Motion blur it. Clipping Groups should be very handy. Then get into the nitty-gritty of tying the corners together with rope.

Hmm...

Then again, it's been a long time since I've seen bambo (hint hint).

*goes outside and cuts donw a bit of bamboo*

not a bad start willmonkey, only bamboo is more green, unless its been dead for ages, then its kinda yellow, but heaps dirty... nice start though.

Great start, wilmonkey. As I recall, it`s kinda knarly at the joints. Dodge and burn some of those details in there, green it up a bit ( or brown it up a bit if it`s dead ) also, you might try starting with a straight selection (a rectangle ) add your veins of color there and then filter>>distort>> pinch the whole thing so the veins bend with the stalk.

Did that make sense ?



Boldly going nowhere

Also dont forget to alternate the segments slightly, the joints wont be paralell to eachother, they will vary kinda like this

Grab some stock photos to get an idea.

yeah. bamboo usually looks somewhat like a planed down dinosaur spine.




In the beginning, there was the word...and the word was 'God', although by the time it reached the other end of the phone line... the word was 'Gznd'

Here, take a look at these...took 'em in my backyard. (yeah, right.)

Anyway, here they are
