Neat CnC there, an interesting read. I think I know who it is but I'll keep that to myself
And I think it's better left up to the judges whether they reveal themselves or not.
btw, my CnC mentioned possible using a higher brush smoothness. I use 25% and have tried higher in the past but it always seems to make the limbs warp alot.
To anyone out there who uses a higher smoothness level, how to you keep the limbs consistent?
I keep mine at 40 normally, but I also draw the limbs separately, and sometimes I have to go through at the end to fix up any wobbles, but that is easier to do than to fix the horribly jagged edges that come with low smoothness. The speed at which you make the stroke also changes the outcome at different smoothness levels, though I haven't specifically experimented with that. Faster strokes generally give better results regardless of the smoothness, though...
Edit: Thanks to Judge 1 for the great Cnc!
