It's amazing sometimes just how many of these unexpected finds are there, just waiting to be found. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 772: Build me a moat
That's a great start, Michael. Could you perhaps fit the castle (slowly receding stage right) into the background? |

Re: Challenge 772: Build me a moat
Frank, that is great! I noticed last week or the week before you used a 3D object of a Trump balloon. I don't know where you got it from but if I need a particular item and I can't make it myself I hop over to this site https://free3d.com and download what I need. Loyd, I love your black smoke. David, the duck jousting is hilarious. Ill suggest it to the organisers of Winterfest - a medieval fair I go to once a year. I don't think they have ever thought of doing this haha. http://vimeo.com/359230459  _________________ Wicked Witch of the West:I'll get you, my pretty! And your little dog, too! |

If that was an English castle Loyd, I would say it was Boris burning his boats.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 772: Build me a moat
I've been wracking my brains for an amusing and inoffensive way to hint that there is a challenge image. Very deftly done Mariner! _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Never been afraid of being silly. 
Anna I don't know where to even begin with your entry. So atmospheric. Just stunning. One of your best yet.  _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Well done, Anna, another great animation, with Fleetwood Mac, one of my all-time favourite bands. |

Re: Challenge 772: Build me a moat
Anna, I have only one word to say to you, and that's the F word (9 letters)! 
David I apologise for the dilemma I put you in concerning my entry
Michael I'm indebted to you for suggesting "Napoleon" as I thoroughly enjoyed doing something that took me hours to do, and completing my portfolio. 
Here's my "legitimate" entry, but no drawbridge ("a bridge too far"): IMPORTANT Give the animation up to 20 seconds or so to initialise and run smoothly (very large file)

Your 'legitimate' entry has truly impressive water animation. _________________ The subtlety and conviction of any Photoshop effect is invariably inversely proportional to the number of knobs on it ....... |

Re: Challenge 772: Build me a moat
Thanks for the comments everyone
I've run out of time, but have been able to modify the moat scene, so I'm uploading again. Strangely Squirlz would not allow me any reflections for the swan or boat; hence, they "hug" the bottom of the image 
NB allow twenty seconds or so for the animation to initialise and run smoothly

Re: Challenge 772: Build me a moat
Unfortunately, Microsoft's latest update doesn't recognize my printer driver. I only had today to work on my Challenge, but instead I spent almost 13 hours with tech support and 6 different technicians. Finally, the last one admitted it was a bug in their upgrade. Yes, I know that this wouldn't be an issue with Apple, but I can't afford to make the switch right now. I need to go to bed early because I have an interview tomorrow. _________________ I'm still learning. |
