Rendering/Cut Outs (4th Mar 08 at 2:38am UTC)
How many of you have attempted to 'render' or 'cut out' an image from a stock? I got into it for awhile and really liked it but I don't know what happened now. I think I'm going to get back into it and make a nice big pack eventually but for now I've just rendered when it's needed.

Rendering technically means generation of 3D renders in programs like AutoCad or Maya. "Cutting-out" is not really the same as rendering but has caught on as the colloquial meaning in design communities. what tools do you use to cut-out something? I love using the Pen tool.

Yes you use the pen tool. I have done quite a bit and they are in PR. I enjoy doing them Not to hard ones but not really easy ones

Cutting images out were obligated when I used to make manipulations. The method I use is with the pen tool, prior to that it was a combination of mostly Extract and erasing + others.

Whenever I render something out of a stock I use the Polygonal Lasso tool, with a 3px or more feather.

"Cutting-out" is not really the same as rendering but has caught on as the colloquial meaning in design communities. what tools do you use to cut-out something? I love using the Pen tool. That is were the debates begin and thats why I simply put Cut Outs. Many people are used to the term render, but it's politically incorrect if you understand what I mean by that. Cut Outs is the correct term for what it is, but somehow a render came into it all just like a signature is a graphic that really doesn't have much in common with a real signature except it has an alias on it sometimes. I use the pen tool, but I might just use an eraser now that I have a tablet

I'm a photomanipulator by artistic discipline, so naturally 90% of my work comes from cutting out my own stocks.

That's usually what I do now, but with tags lately. I cut out stocks when I come to the part when I need that part separated. I've been thinking of just going after cut outs again like I used to. It's a fun and easy design style and doesn't take much but cutting out a background and usually the criticism is simple, either choppy or something like white outline

It isn't really a medium, though. I mean, if you actually took the photos or screenshots, and then cut them out, that would be a different story. But any moron with a pen tool can cut a render out, it's no big deal. When it comes to cut-outs, its a lot more about quantity than it is quality.

Well rendering isn't the same as cutting out images from stocks, but I do cut out a lot of stock images.

Posted By Jake on 5th Mar 08 at 5:00pm Well rendering isn't the same as cutting out images from stocks, but I do cut out a lot of stock images. It is depending on what you mean by render. To render something, in the urban sense is to use a program like C4D, or 3DSM to generate 3d objects. But in modern terminology, rendering has been applied to cutting out stocks because once it is cut out it can be used in artwork much like a 3D render can. Theoretically, they are both the same thing.

If you've ever taken a look at the website/forum Planet Renders you'd find out it takes a lot more than any moron with a pen tool. The stuff people cut out is quite crazy now.

You'd also have to master the pen tool to do cut outs.

I'm just saying - creating a piece such as Alyn's probably took more time than, say, Raven takes on one of his cut-outs on PR. The skill to cut-outs is, like I said, quantitative not qualitative.
