  1. Hi guys, can I highlight the frame of chosen layer in the picture? In other words, if it is hard to locate the layer in the picture, how can I find it? It would be great if there will be possible to frame it by thicker red line..? Cheers!

  2. the technique is there but it's a very very slow process. there's a better way to do it with making triangles and make those triangles check for it's average color area and it will easily color itself, some tweak is needed too but it never hurt to save a lot of time instead of coloring it one by one. I also see some quads (not triangle) that's why some shape looks so weird and out of place.

  3. anyone knows what the name of the effect for the 'lines' before coloring only? like only make shapes without filling in anything, if you know please reply with the effect name or a URL, Thanks!

  4. I most say this probably is the best tutorial on low poly I have every seen. Thank you for truly giving clear and concise instructions. If you had to choose between doing this in PS or AI which would you choose. I have the entire CC suite. I love AI more when it comes to vectors simply for the scaling and manipulation. It seems more fine tuned without the risk of pixelation. In terms of creation and execution which would you prefer. Thanks again!!!

  5. Thanks for tutorial. I made a lowpoly picture about 1184 layers and want to create timelapse animation of every single shape of it. How to create animation with those thousands of frames? Is there any way to do it better/faster? Thanks.
