LIGHT BRUSHING TUTORIAL

1. To start things off, rip something up from C4D or another program, so you have a base render. Make sure its a PNG or a Targa with Alpha Layer capability, trust me, this is crucial to not have a solid black backround on your render, so you get layers.



2. Make a back layer, and make it black. Then, go Layer > new adjustment layer > Color balance. Choose your color, that will make the image and everything underneath it that color.



3. Take a nice big white brush at 200 pixels or more, turn down the flow, and just outline the image on a new layer behind the image. This makes a nice glow.



4. Make a new layer on top of the image, and just outline the render again with a smaller brush.



5. Time to touch it up. Make sure to use erasers at a low flow rate, and also touch up with a brush at least 3 times larger than the small brush you used, and flow it out.



This is rather sloppy, make sure you put more effort into it. Continue on, if the image is darker, than obviously don't brush so hard, so it isn't super bright. Clouds flow nicely on the darker images, but not for bright, unless you want to. It's never worked for me. If it all works out, you can get a nice image.
