Fixing Render Sparkles in Photoshop (Patreon)

Hello folks! I have a few links and things for you today.

First  of all, in this early access episode I'll show you a quick and easy tip  on how to fix render sparkles with Photoshop, or rather any 2D graphics  app that's capable of using masks and layers. It won't work for every  situation, but it's great for out of focus background sparkles and  definitely beats the time it takes to re-render an image.

Next,  I've just posed the new Ko-fi Social I've made during a Twitch stream  last week. I hope you like it! It'll be great to update this every so  often. Perhaps I can add a hand stirring a spoon, or add some stream to  the cups. Or maybe I'll change the location of the drinks, like a sunny  beach or a jungle. I've uploaded this working session to YouTube, join me for the "world premiere" tomorrow from 10am EST if you're free.

Speaking  of streams, I've had another enjoyable session recently in which I've  made two new sets of face paint in Substance Painter. One I've used on  the "Necromancer in the woods with his procedural house" type render, the other one is below. I've dug deep  into the mysteries of the Mask Generator on this occasion, and thanks to  John/Fugazi/3D Megaverse I got some great results. I thought I'd share  this stream on YouTube as well, and it'll premiere on Wednesday.

I still have a boatload of other thumbnails to make and might do some of  them on stream as well. If you'd like to join me for those, keep an eye  on my Twitter feed where I announce when they'll happen. I don't have a  set schedule and fit them in when I have the time and energy in the weekday afternoons from 5pm EST on Twitch.

That's all I have for today :-)
