krusty i just got photoshop 6 and im having a problem with the panel lines and rivets

how do i get them to curve a bit whenever i try to make them curve with the plane they start to do a little stair step thing i guess is the only way i know how to describe it

any thoughts

Nick, I've going to start skinning my first skin this week.

I've been told that you need to try to blur that layer to smooth out the stairstep jagged edges you are getting.

Also, make sure your skin size is 1024x1024 and it may be best to have your game set to 1024x1024 texture size so you may see your skin in it's finest quality in the game.

do you guys know of any freeware that can do the stuff that photoshop can do i am working on a trial version and not only is it a limited time it is limited as far as tools go

of freakin course

its a big company and god forbid they give you a what you get if you purchase version like the smaller company's do

and i dont have the 600 bucks to throw out for photoshop (even if i did i would spend it on a new power supply since mine is crapping out and with the extra upgrade my pc) i digress
sooooooooo.....

No need to take it out of GIMP for a blur. Under the filter menu of GIMP, there's a Blur and Gaussian Blur options. Play around with it to see what a good setting is. I typically use a 2.0-5.0 gaussian blur for mine, depending on the effect I'm looking for.

anyone at all

i really need the help

Make sure you either have the layer or whatever object you want to blur selected before you apply the filter. Otherwise, it will do nothing. I recommend going to http://www.gimp.org and working through the tutorials they have to learn how to use it.

In photoshop I used the pencil tool, set to size 1 brush, spacing set to 400% or more likely 500%. I then click once, let go, hold SHIFT and click again elsewhere. Photoshop fills in between the two points with a line of dots. I then use smaller shift-clicks to make compound curves. It looks convincing enough in the end result, but is really multiple (shorter) straight lines.
