darknation Posted March 20, 2002 Alright, i did something that's not sucksome. I'll be adding more tutorials in the near future. Is there any processes that anyone wants covered first? Questions? Requests? Oh, and if anyone else what's to share something with the rest fo us and write a tutorial you're more than welcome to have it posted on my page or linked to. There seems to be a thing amongst certain people about hording infromation and techniques to yourself... there also seems to be a serious shortage of quality artists kicking about. Or maybe that's just me being pessimistic. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted March 20, 2002 Question: Why do you have to use PSP specifically? Are you sure you can't use other programs? 0 Share this post Link to post

darknation Posted March 20, 2002 Question: Why do you have to use PSP specifically? Are you sure you can't use other programs? You could probally use MS paint if you felt brave enough. I just like PSP, it's shareware for version 4, it's not £500 and my photoshop 5k1llz are not what they could be. Basically I've been using PSP for three years and I've been using photoshop for about three days. 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted March 20, 2002 Yeah, you can get PSP almost for free, and it's just as good as PS. 0 Share this post Link to post
dsm Posted March 20, 2002 Hm, I get the impression that as long as you can port the Doom pallette to a painting program and as long as you can open Doom's sprites in the same program you should be all set to tamper with Doom's sprites. I dunno, I've only just begun to mess with Doom's sprites and I've done alright without PSP so far. I can imagine that PSP has some neat functions which could make things easier though and I might even consider downloading PSP shareware. 0 Share this post Link to post
darknation Posted March 20, 2002 Wintex extracts doom sprites to .bmp format, so any program that can read bitmaps can read these files What program are you using? 0 Share this post Link to post

Zaldron Posted March 20, 2002 I still think the best way to do sprites is create a very rough model in a 3D application (afterall the detail gets butchered at that res) and take advantage of the camera to create the alternate angles. 0 Share this post Link to post

dsm Posted March 20, 2002 Originally posted by darknation What program are you using? I'm using an old program called CorelDraw 0.3 consisting of a few different programs - one of these is Corel Photopaint which specifically is the one I use for the sprites. I got this program as a birthday present some years ago, therefore I don't like the idea of canning it just because there is another program with several shiny new functions while my own program is good enough for my own needs. 0 Share this post Link to post
Zaldron Posted March 20, 2002 CorelDraw 0.3 Holy shit. ^_^ BTW, did I mention I'm the official Coreldraw basher? 0 Share this post Link to post
