Sorry, the rendertime needed more than one month.

I made one result of this tutorial. It looks almost one to one. It means without other or own ideas. The rendertime took me more than 2 month. I used ca. 8 hours a night and 4 days per week. Terrible. The motion blur delayed a faster run.

Awesome job as always! Way Cool!

What if one wanted to do graphite instead of ink? Naturally the graphite from the pencil would not be wet, so how would you get PFlow to produce the effect or texture of graphite for a close up shot?

Once again, wonderful tutorial.

It is not possible to register for that event if you do not live in the US or Canada because the form wants a selection in the "State" field but only states of the USA and Canada are listed.
