Bumbling into demo editing. :D

Realising that my Handbook of the Union Universe pics were kinda... bland, I looked to demo editing to try and make some better character shots for my pages. I'm still very much bumbling about with it, since there doesn't seem to be a lot of up-to-date literature on it. It takes me the best part of a few hours just to get a shot I'm satisfied with and I can't help but wonder how anyone has the patience needed to pull off full vids, but baby steps are better than naff all, right?

I'm just going to plop a few of my first efforts (and I mean efforts... the "SPLAT!" one nearly had me bashing my face into my keyboard many times) here and await any pointers anyone might have.



For the record, a couple of the above pics have also been mucked about with in GIMP.

Like many content creation endeavors demoedit has a steep
learning curve but once you wrap your head around what all the various
parameters mean and what the acceptable ranges for modification are it gets easier and faster.

The upside is you can make some pretty creative screenshots with it that are not otherwise possible.

I didn't see your original pics but I'm guessing these are much improved, the splat one looks cool.
One thing you could try is getting a demo of something with ragdoll physics in play and then flip/splat it on a wall.

One of these years I will get around to writing "Demo Editing for Dummies" (or making it a webcast or somesuch)...
