Huh, I must say... I kinda love this hair-effect you did there.
Admittedly quite stylish too given the color-palette.
And on top of that, it's even quite in line with how the hair in Houseki no Kuni is being portrayed!

yep, i used a gem image for the hair, since that's basically how it is in the show.

Oh? Color me surprised!
I thought that you drew that pattern via a bunch of rectangles or something.
In fact, I believe that this pattern can even be generated via some custom code... either way, the design is quite an eye-catcher!
And yeah, I've seen the show as well so... I can only confirm that the hair looked like that XD

lol thanx, for things like this i might use a pattern or a free image to do things like that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm, sounds like a good idea.
I can only imagine how tedious it would be, to create such a pattern by hand...
So yeah, makes sense to use an already existing pattern, though finding the pattern for any color might become a real difficulty.

i can just take the image and re-colorize it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, if that also works at the border between 2 varying tones without any difficulties, then yeah, that would be also an option.

yep, it's actually rather simple to do to an entire image at once.

Color me surprised once more! XD
I was imagining things to be rather tedious, such as using the magic-wand tool to select one such area, then filling it with a different color and after that... rinse and repeat for all the remaining polygons.
But if that there's an option to just change colors for the entire image at once, that just makes the whole task a heck'ing lot simpler.

yep, see?
there are limits to this of course but it's handy.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, indeed!
And yeah, I guess the limit would be that the areas kinda bleed together in terms of their tone (which in return lowers the contrast between each polygon), but it definitely did its main-task of changing the colors.
Anyway, thanks for potentially saving me a ton of time by showing me that I don't need to recolor ever polygon within that pattern XD
For the fun of it though (and because this might be useful for my own projects), I'll try to write a code to recreate such patterns for any colors/gradients.
Having some code just create such a pattern with the desired colors/gradient on the push of a button does sound pretty useful, right?

sure if the code/program is quick and easy to use and edit.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hmh, it should be, once its done.
I'll just notify you when it works as intended.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
alrighty, should be interesting. Don't do it just for my sake though i could totally make any pattern i needed with enough time.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, don't worry!
As mentioned a few lines above, I have a personal interest in recreating this pattern for my own projects so... it's even better if besides me, someone else also finds that program useful.

So... I've tried to recreate this gem-reflection pattern and... I kinda got surprised by the outcome!
While the original goal certainly can be considered a fail no matter what I try,
the outcome that I constantly got instead has a rather interesting property of creating irregular circles and arcs...
It's really strange and oddly enough quite interesting XD
But yeah, just wanted to say that this gem-reflection pattern can't be recreated the way I thought it could be.

kinda reminds me of ice. It's actually quite close, it's just the dark parts throwing it off really.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hm... never considered ice... but indeed, ice does have a spiky texture under the microscope.
And yeah, the dark parts, or just the colors in general can be changed quite swiftly within that code.
Basically, the color is just a result of a 3D path within the RGB colorspace;
the color-path itself just goes from 0 to 1 and, if you ask what location the path is at for example 0.37 , it'll give you its 3D coords, aka the RGB values/color.
Considering that, I just need draw a new color-path that is further away from 0,0,0 and... the dark parts will be gone.
In itself, this color-path thingy is really neat since it even allows one to make color-gradients more interesting (imo) by adding a slight curve into other colors, rather than just a direct path from color A to color B.
Here's an example for a curved color-path between black and white:

not sure i really understand all that but neat lol.

Uh... to condense my mathematical talk at the end:
It's the equivalent of a graph-plotter, but instead of an equation spitting out some graph... it now instead returns a specific color-gradient.
It was just something losely related to the topic that I felt like mentioning.

Good choice of anime, might you do more with Houseki no Kuni?
