  • Embird Sfumato allows easy and fast creation of multicolored portraits, landscapes, still lives and other designs from photos.
  • Student imports photo into the background of the working area and then draws Sfumato objects on top of the photo.
  • Sfumato objects have vector boundaries that are automatically filled with stitches. Photo-realistic effect is achieved with variable density of the thread flow.
  • Objects are filled with stitches so that thread forms looser or heavier meanders to create shading effects while fabric shows through the stitches. In general, the loose meanders are used on low density areas.
  • Special controls and paramaters are available to tune density and colors of Sfumato object.
  • Additional features like openings, carvings and color mask can be applied to achieve required stitch layout and texture.
  • Each Sfumato object can have 1-5 shades of its 'basic color' or user-defined shades. Chosing proper number of separate objects and proper number of shades within each object allows to achieve various coloring effects.
  • We will use a photo of David Kruiper a well know Komani-San (Khalahari Bushman) which you can download in lecture 1 to play along on your pc

Philip Viljoen knows exactly what he is doing. I did find it hard to follow what all he is doing due to how fast he goes through steps though his repeating of same steps multiple times helps. I can understand his speech, just so dense information hard to follow all the steps. Would love cheat sheet of what steps to do to outline, change density, change color, make fill background, steps for doing node splits. Also, I found it very confusing when he suddenly jumped to discussing how to rate course and give feedback to instructors though that made more sense when I finished the class.

Excellent course on how to use Embird's Sfumato and Editor to digitize a photo. Loads to take in but definitely value for my money because so many features were covered. I really appreciate seeing the steps - mistakes and all. Now I'm heading over to purchase the Leopard course!

Not very far yet. I suppose if I am just rating the application then I would actually give 5 stars but if I’m rating the actual course I will have to wait until I can say that it is good or not.
