Title: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 23, 2009, 08:20:55 am Made this in GIMP after some 20 minutes, made stars in Paint, blured them a bit so they looked like stars and added a Death Star.

Gimp is a very good SVG software, some comparing it to photoshop, the thing that I prefer on photoshop is its GUI, and UI, and its design is very great for the environment. Personally if your new to SVGing then use photoshop, your friends will think your a pro, but when you use gimp, you need much more experience, and don't make me start on adobe illustrator. >.>

Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: MsRowdyRedhead on August 23, 2009, 10:47:12 pm Totally awesome, Rakoua.. the stars do look natural, and the explosion, with the death star near by.. epic!
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: ab§olute_Z3R0 on August 23, 2009, 11:00:01 pm Looks very nice, though you can see the rectangle around the Death Star. This could make a nice desktop background. :D
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 24, 2009, 05:59:27 am Thanks everyone!
And I knew I had to correct something... There used to be a rectanlge around the planet too... Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Maplen13 on August 24, 2009, 06:02:10 am Word of advice... turn down the noise of the stars a bit. ;)
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 24, 2009, 06:25:12 am Word of advice... turn down the noise of the stars a bit. ;) What noise?I didn't use noise for the stars... Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Maplen13 on August 24, 2009, 07:27:31 am WHAT?! I'm currently using noise into my black picture and...... it just acts like real stars in a background in space..... Did.. you put a black background and hit you brush point in the black background.... to make the stars... HOW ON EARTH DID YOU DO IT?!
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 24, 2009, 07:49:27 am hehehehe...
I increased the size of the airbrush tool in Paint so it made nice stars, and covered the sceen in them, added the planet and death star and blured it a bit. :P Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Maplen13 on August 24, 2009, 07:55:25 am Uh ya yie, Well at least everyone has a different style. :P
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 24, 2009, 07:57:17 am Oh, and does it look weird on CRT screens?
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Maplen13 on August 24, 2009, 08:09:47 am Currently I'm using a CRT screen... and it just.... looks.... cheezy.. sorry... but it just seems like it... I don't know why.. but.. Idk. :-\
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 24, 2009, 08:12:39 am Yeah, I'm currently at my grandparents and they have a CRT and none of the stars are visible...
On LCDs you can see them beautifly, tho... Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Maplen13 on August 24, 2009, 08:15:26 am actually, I see the stars.. just they are cheezy to me, or a little.... blurred. But to see the stars you need to be very close to the screen to see the, to actually determine they are there. But anywho, it is there, and I can see it.
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Jade on August 24, 2009, 11:35:55 am Thats very good Rakoua! I use Corel Photopaint, and have never been able to do stuff like that.
Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 24, 2009, 11:37:17 am Thats very good Rakoua! I use Corel Photopaint, and have never been able to do stuff like that. Thanks!It's fairly easy in GIMP, whitout the stars it took me only some 20 minutes, and I'm sure I can do it in 10. Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: B~T on August 24, 2009, 11:46:16 am Nice.
Just a question. Why does it seem that the Death Star has a Square-ish background to it? Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: Rakoua on August 24, 2009, 11:52:41 am Nice. Because I added it as a final touch and forgot to blend it in?Just a question. Why does it seem that the Death Star has a Square-ish background to it? Title: Re: Who needs photoshop... Post by: KnightsFan on August 24, 2009, 07:51:39 pm Very good, I like the stars a lot. The planet looks great (better then I could do :P) but somehow it just doesn't seem very natural... Anyway, great job!
