Blending Tutorial

Blending Tutorial

 

 

This is probably the most extensive blending/colour matching I’ve done and took a while to get it right. The main problem was that the AUG and F2K lowers that I wanted to blend together had different shades, despite being the same colour code. This meant using a hex code generator to find a code that would match the two. I use this: www.w3schools.com/tags/ref_colorpicker.asp

 

 

Fig.1: In the complete design, the green colour code I wanted for the lower half was 55564c – this matched the AUG lower (coded at 55564c) and the F2K. The F2K however had to be coloured at 5e6054 because of the shading on the preset part. This allows the lighter parts of the F2K lower to match the AUG.

 

 

Fig.2: Find points on both lowers that match, making it easier to blend – the two magwells in this case line up perfectly.

 

 

Fig.3: You can see how little is left of the F2K lower after matching it to the AUG and adding solid shapes at 55564C. Half shaded squares are used to blend the shaded parts of the AUG and F2K grips into one, rotating these as required to match at an appropriate scale. Unwanted areas are deleted with white shapes – always remember to outline.
