I didn't know, and now I do. Sorry guys. Thanks, Sial. I may trade him to my brother for a regular clone.

A little test I did.

Looks good JJ, reminds me of space police though.

by Sialboats Mon Jul 06, 2009 2:33 pm

Don'tcha just love that line erase feature. Makes it look so much like a security feed Wink

. Nicely done.

by Jedi Joe Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:22 pm

Yea, I made Tatooine with GIMP, too.

by Zepher Mon Jul 06, 2009 9:23 pm

Where are you all getting these cool tools! I don't think my version has any of this stuff!

Hey Sial, do you use GIMP 2.6?

by Sialboats Mon Jul 06, 2009 10:20 pm

I actually haven't patched it since 2.4. I rather like the older interface Wink

. I don't think they've added any new, substantially new, Script-Fu's or filters, anyways.

by Gerrard Tue Jul 07, 2009 12:15 am

I use 2.6.

This person did a little flying test....using GIMP.

by Alpha Tue Jul 07, 2009 1:26 am

Lawl, I actually liked the old interface as well, I tried the oldest version when TB gave me the link, but hey, I always use the latest version. Laughing

May be a bit noobish..but where is the tool or how do you create the fire shown in Zeph comic/s. I've seen it in MOC's as well.

Learn to use it on your own.

I'm afraid that if you don't come to appreciate it through seeking it out, you'll just overuse it (as sometimes Zeph does Razz

) . Fire needs to be carefully applied - so much so that you don't even care too much that it's there. It just looks natural.

Besides, in searching for the technique, you'll probably find a whole slew of new ones; bettering yourself in the process.

by Gerrard Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:46 pm

Alright, i'll have to try it out. Thanks Sial.

by Sialboats Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:48 pm

I will tell you this, though, you'll be using paint brushes.

by Gerrard Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:53 pm

Yeah, I have already done it, but it looks completely different. Razz

by Tac Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:39 pm

I need someone who came create a Hoth background for my Taun-Taun. I'll take a picture then you can magically transport it to Hoth, Simple!

Anyone up to it?

by Sialboats Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:45 pm

You don't just plop something onto a background, you have to have an MOC there Razz

! The background should ALWAYS be the horizon - the bloody BACKGROUND - and not the foreground.

It won't look as good as you'll want it to look... it will look like the front of Lego set's box, only slightly less impressive Wink

.

by Tac Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:57 pm

Aah! I'll see what I can do.

by Sialboats Sat Jul 18, 2009 1:59 pm

By the way, Tac... splendid sig quote! I remember a similar one from a while back Wink

.

by CT44 Sun Aug 09, 2009 5:14 am

Would somebody be willing to post a tutorial on how to make a white background?

Example pic:

Thanks for the pic Alf.

I really need to learn how to do this and it's hard without a tutorial...

by Alpha Sun Aug 09, 2009 5:17 am

I told you, crop it onto a white background.

That's a basic way to do it, though I don't do it that way. Otherwise, experiment.

by CT44 Sun Aug 09, 2009 5:21 am

Dude, I SUCK at GIMP. I have tried for a while experimenting with different things and none have worked...

by Alpha Sun Aug 09, 2009 5:22 am

Exactly, so until you get better at GIMP, don't attempt it. Wink
