25 Lesson 5 - Photobashing Basics Part 1 - Photobashing 101 - What is Pho
P25 - 00:01照片bash 101
Hey, In case you didn't know photoshop is an image editing and altering software. It was created in 1988. So it's a lot older than I am. But when you compare it to the history of art and painting, think about like leonardo da vinci or Michelangelo who are back in the 14 hundreds.软件PS作为图像编辑改写软件，1988年问世。想想历史上一千四百年前的达芬奇和米开朗基罗艺术家。
P25 - 00:20绘画相对PS历史悠远。
painting is thousands of years old. Photoshop is just 30 years old. That's like nothing. 软件三十多岁，而绘制上千年历史。The purpose of intense of photoshop were you specifically to alter images and photographs. These days. You won't be able to find advertisements without them. And means would be so much more difficult without any image editing software. naturally since photoshop is about visual design. It's hard to fall into the hands of us artists too.你可以看到广告等离不开PS，意味着没有图像编辑软件寸步难行。PS是天然的视觉设计，否则不会落入艺术家手里。 today just as photoshop. And any image editing software of choice is crucial to the editorial or advertisement or commercial industry. It is now also crucial to the concept art industry. 不仅仅对于编辑 广告 商用，对概念艺术也适用。
P25 - 01:04游戏也适用。
Hyper realistic games such as last of us two red dead redemption or call of duty, all required concept art that look very accurate to what the final product is.超现实游戏《最后的我们2》《死亡的救赎》《使命召唤》都离不开概念艺术描述。如果执念手绘方式绘制树叶 草叶 树皮，工作室3年的任务量会拖延到20年。 If you ask your artist to, oh, I don't know, hand paint every single one of these leaves and blade of grass and piece of tree bark, that's gonna be wasting a lot of studio time and money and video games would probably take 20 years to make instead of the 3 years that it takes to make a single call of duty game.
P25 - 01:38图片处理需求增加。
Even now though, because of the increasing demand for better and better and better graphics, even call of duty is really struggling to release a fully finished game every single year, even with its typical three year incubation periods. 项目孵化到完工发布耗费三年。技术的进步对媒体娱乐有影响，刺激人期待越来越高，现在动画做的越来越现实。It's not their fault, really. It's just that technology has made such a huge impact on our media and entertainment and our expectations are now through the roof, even animated movies are getting more and more realistic.
P25 - 02:08玩具总动员很逼真很现实。
但是参考对象并不是真人电影。CG变得愈加强大。I would dare say movies like toy story four look more realistic than some of the first person shooter games out there. And don't get me even started on live action movies. CG is getting stronger by the minute.
P25 - 02:21真伪难辨。
And now we're starting to have trouble figuring out what is real and what isn’t. with the rise of things such as deepfake. 比如“深度伪造”。因此，概念艺术师协助视觉化效果呈现出来。Therefore, because as you remember, the purpose of concept art is to help our team visualize what something will look like in its finished stage. 在照片记录有质量生活年代，照片处理什么阶段算是结束阶段？It becomes more and more important that we can capture a photographic a life quality, especially if you're working on something that is meant to have a photographic like finish.
P25 - 02:44为什么雇佣艺术家而不是摄影师。
However, the reason why they're hiring us a concept artist and not a photographer, is because if your art director or your film director wants a pegasus flying through a castle in the mountains with waterfalls, you're not gonna find that in the natural world. And no one is going to be able to photograph that. So that's where we come in. And this is where the technique of photo bashing comes in. 比如你的艺术总监和导演告诉你绘制飞马伴随瀑布飞过天空，这不是可以拍摄到的，这就是为什么艺术家替代摄像师出现在这的原因。
03:15 Even if you don't want to make hyper realistic work. Photo bashing is now an essential skill needed by any concept artist, and is also a fantastic skill to learn and add to your own repertoire.这是一项需要学习的技能。可以选择一大批的照片，选择需要的元素按照逻辑组合在一起。 It's the art of taking a bunch of photographs and stitching them together in a way that completely forms a new image.
P25 - 03:30给赋予生机。
You can consider it a highly advanced form of collage. 你可以理解为无意义抽象的碎片组合成有意义的图片。Knowing photo bashing means that we have to be able to understand how real life lighting works.首先要明白有生命力的架构。 And if you do it poorly, no amount of photographs will ever be able to help you. before anything, though, because photo bashing is relatively new. There are a few myths about it. So I'm going to try and resolve them for you.
P25 - 03:52概念的理解要点。
Number one photo bashing is cheating. I see this myth going around a lot that if you photo bash, you're not actually doing the work, you are just lazy. Well, sorry hate to burst your bubble. But that was a very shallow way of thinking.
P25 - 04:09不要肤浅的认为欺骗。
during the adventure stage. The painters at that time were using a paint known as tempera, which is a type of paint that dries incredibly quickly and uses egg whites. “蛋彩画法”是蛋液绘制的画。然后，混合绘画变得很困难。Back then, mixing paint became very troublesome and difficult.
P25 - 04:22此后油画应运而生了。
However, oil paints came along, because it used oil and not things like egg whites. It didn't dry out that easily. It would stay wet so that artists could mix the paint as much as they wanted and not have to work under an intense time pressure. 油画可以把颜色进行混合，不像蛋彩绘画有限时间混合涂料存在压力。问世的时候同样受到质疑，但是很快成为行业新标准，如今司空见惯。But all the older artists were like, oh my god! That is cheating! You can't do that. Your art isn’t true art. How dare you have the luxury of ,but then it became a standard. And oil paintings soon became the norm.
P25 - 04:52接下来19世纪。
Then during the 19 hundreds, Norman rockwell became a very famous American painter whose works are known to be on the covers of hundreds of Saturday evening post magazines, the most famous American magazine at this time. Magazines were a very big deal back then, since people didn't exactly have YouTube or instagram to keep themselves entertained back then. 在还没有油管instagram等自媒体平台的时候，杂志编辑就是最大的媒介，Norman Rockwell是那个年代著名的编辑。But people got furious at Rockwell because he would stage his art, take a photo, and then use a projector and project his photo onto his canvas and trace from there. 著名编辑当初用投影作品追踪轨迹的方式再创作，曾激发众怒。And of course as people do, they said, oh my god, that's cheating. You can’t do that. how dare you have the luxury of using a projector. you should have to draw everything out from memory and be able to deliver it as a painting for each of the magazine covers every two weeks that fail.
P25 - 05:45当时很多艺术家通用的方式。
But truthfully a lot of artists around him used this technique. it's save time, and it was needed for work. Although one person who famously didn't do this was JC leyendecker, who used grids for his work. Obviously, JC leyendecker was like a god of painting. But as you can see, even as amazing as JC leyendecker, his work doesn't photographic real as Norman Rockwell’s paintings. 当时少数之一如JC Leyendecker用网格绘制，但是效果不如Rockwell真实。Not to say that one is better than the other. In fact, I personally preferred Leyendecker style more.不分伯仲，我个人偏好Leyendecker的作品。但是如果你尽量做到照片品质的作品，确实需要现场作品的帮助。 But when we’re trying to go for a very photo realistic finished. You’re going to need a lot of help.
P25 - 06:24回到现在。
So let’s jump back to today. Now people are saying photoshop is cheating. How dare you. They cry. I hope this voice isn't annoying by the way, but too bad. You have to listen to it anyway. How dare you have the luxury of being able to insert a photograph for textures like brick in stone at least. That would otherwise take 4 bus pay by hand. You should be able to draw all of this by your own hand. And deliver us painting every single day. 没开玩笑。真人影视行业，每天绘制bath这工作量是真的。 No, I'm not kidding in the live-action movie industry, it's normal to be expected to paint a fully finished photo bash piece every single day.
P25 - 07:00在游戏行业。
in the games industry, there is usually around three days to a week. But that's still an absolutely impossible amount of time to finish a piece. If you're going to be painting every single thing by hand. 游戏行业宽松一点3天到1周的时间完成作品，但是如果徒手做不借助照片元素并不宽裕。So no, it's not cheating.
P25 - 07:15说是欺骗的人是什么认知状态的。
People who call it cheating are the equivalent of people who scoff and say hi I don’t use the a computer. I get my knowledge from book and dictionaries and encyclopedias. 嘲笑时代进步的产物比如电脑，说，我不需要从电脑获取信息，我需要的信息从字典和百科全书中翻到。And when you ask them what like an antelope is, instead of simply Google ing it, they'd be doing this, cause they're flipping through their domains Cyclopedia.
P25 - 07:36第二个费解的点。
Now, second myth. So can I bash other people's artwork then? Cause I can use photographs, right? Absolutely not. 借用他人作品的元素可以吗？不可以。This is a bit of an unspoken rule that we do not bash painted artworks by other people, or photo bashed pieces by other artists. Even with photographs, try not to take your photograph from very well established photographers as they can be incredibly disrespectful and illegal. 这是不可言说但却不成名的规定，比如你高仿成熟艺术家的作品或者其它不成名的摄像师的作品，都是不够尊重，严重者甚至违规行为。Remember, the purpose of photo bashing is so that we can quickly bash in something like grass, bricks teacup, or in this case for my piece of broken mirror, a toilet, a lamp, something that would have taken forever to hand paint. But we take a photo instead in order to emulate a photo realistic look.可以获取的比如草地 砖瓦 茶杯 被毁坏的镜子 马桶 台灯，为了模拟真实性用的。If I take grass out of photo of the Grand Canyon. So if I took these bushes right here, it's okay, because my priority is the grass. The photographer does not own the grass. Or I guess this is a shrub, not a piece of grass. But anyways, they don't own the grand canyon either. They don't own the rocks and they don't own the stream. All of it belongs at the end of the day to mother nature. And she is happy to share. She never goes to court with anyone, I promise. 如果你借用灌木丛 溪流 大峡谷，大自然母亲乐意跟你分享。But when it is a painting, the artist does own the grass. They own the canyon, they own the tree. And they own the characters. And they own most of the aspects of their painting. 但是如果绘制出来的树木 峡谷，若是借用他人作品就是剽窃。So no, you cannot take their work that is just stealing with extra steps.
P25 - 09:14我照片资料库。
My favorite photographs to pick from are the ones that you will just find on Google images, random stuff that random people have posted for the sake of spreading Information. However, I try to actively stay away from photographers who viewed their photo as their own personal art. So typically that is in the realm of professional and well established photographers.尽量不去触碰不愿意分享资源艺术家的作品。
P25 - 09:34另一个需要注意的。
Another thing is to be careful of stock photo images, because chances are you will run into them. It's okay to use them for personal work and to just photoshop the logos out. But for commercial and marketing and industry work, make sure to purchase the photograph or let your company know. I'm not really sure why your company would purchase this particular stock photo, but anyways, using their photo is also stealing. If you didn't pay for it. 有些图库网的资源可以用于个人学习，但是用于商业要付费。Big movies and video game studios all have legal teams that specifically crackdown on this stuff to make sure that any public art they post don't have photos or art that are violating copyright laws. 因为大的影视工作室都有律师团队，专门打击违背版权的事件。Although sometimes you can still find water marks of stock photo images and professional concept art. In fact, my friends and I actually found a watermark in the ending concept art cards of Mandalorian. I won't single the artist out or point any fingers. But it was pretty funny to see sometimes if things do slip out of the cracks. And that is a pretty solid introduction to the concept of photo bashing.
P25 - 10:34以上就是实例分享。
Honestly, I wish that someone told me this stuff when I first started bashing. I had no idea what I was doing. It was probably breaking a bajillion rules. 我学习的时候也希望有人告诉我这些内容。But I have learned and now I'm here to make sure you have a much smoother time bashing. It sounds so weird. The term bashing sounds so weird. It's like you're going to a party or something because photo bashing is so technology focused. The next episode will just be about technique and skills that you need to know in photoshop. Let's get to it.
