Arty Birds, Insects, and much more. Other well-done brushes. see direct links below >>>UPDATE 05 MAR 2010<<<
They are really incredibly well done brushes. (my apologies, didn't have a good test subject handy, just grabbed the first pic. I saw... kind of a genie in a bottle theme. )
(Thanks to Blair at Kerkythea forum for the tip.)
- download zipped brush file.
- Unzip download
- copy .abr format brush file to your "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop xxx\Presets\Brushes" folder
- open new session of photoshop
- open file in which you need smoke
- use white color to paint
- choose "brush" button in photoshop
- make new layer above your rendering
- under brush shape type choose the tiny arrow pulldown menu>Load Brushes
- choose the "Real Smoke" brushes
- choose "append" to current brushes
- now you will find the new smoke brushes loaded into your brushes pallette
- choose a smoke to paint with, resize the brush tool to be the right size
- a single click-and-release of the mouse to paint the perfect smoke.
- if desired, change blending mode of the smoke layer to something like "overlay"... but not necessary.
