To Demonstrate What I Want

#10140 posted by bambuz on 2006/04/25 07:48:05

Say, I want to draw on a black background a big grey ball that is lighter in the middle and darker at the edges, with one mouse press and moving the mouse around, lightening various areas and later lightening some of the already-lightened areas even more. Gimp only goes to a certain level (dependent on tool settings) and doesn't add anything beyond that even if I hold the mouse on the area for 5 minutes. So I get a uniform grey ball. With the brush tool, with the airbrush tool, if I set the tool action to anything.

If I do it with multi-presses I get discrete levels... And if I put the opacity so that the levels are indiscernible, it would take like 20 passes/strokes which would be very tedious...

I'm sitting here with Gimp 2.2 and the airbrush tool does exactly what you describe .

Also I just discovered you can dock all the doodads into one window so that kinda helps the UI a bit I guess. I still hate Linux people.

Ok, Most Problems Solved

#10144 posted by bambuz on 2006/04/25 08:43:56

blackdog helped me. The opacity had to be turned to max (since it's useless, it doesn't take into account self-superimposing) and the additivity must be controlled with the airbrush parameters.
Now the only problem is stripes which result from some internal inaccuracies in the program:

Gimp On Windows

Only tried it a couple of short times because at least on a low spec machine it's unacceptably slow when other apps such as photoshop and painter (not all the tools though) run much better.

the guy, obihb, who made that shambler a while back is working on a fiend now for d3...

not exactly as i picture a fiend, but certainly much better than other attempts both in the technical and style departments.

anyway, thought it my interest some here. :)

Are we going to discuss again about monsters that have eyes or not !!!??? Come on !! You should open a thread about this "issue" :P

Lol

i recall a few heated discussions about that over msn... XD

Um...

#10152 posted by underworldfan on 2006/04/27 11:58:43

why is it important whether they have eyes or not?...main thing is they rip you apart quickly and ruthlessly and leave you a dead pile of rotting meat. (!!)

Well..

#10153 posted by metlslime on 2006/04/27 12:17:46

Pretending for a moment that they did have eyes, they woudln't be big and glowy and yellow.

In Fact,

#10154 posted by necros on 2006/04/27 15:07:57

Cool.

Dunno if this is old, as I remember a papercraft Shambler from a while ago, but check this out:

His face and armour colour is a bit off, but the rest is pretty faithful.

Fiends' Eyes

#10156 posted by negke on 2006/04/27 23:41:37

yes, they do have eyes. http://negative.net.tc/fiend.jpg
would be better if they hadn't, like shamblers and vores.

underworldfan, it's because monsters appear much more frightening if they don't have eyes, but are still that unerring and aggressive - if they sense your presence rather than have to rely on fallible physical means such as eyes. ;)

Oh My Goodness Yes

#10157 posted by Fat Controller on 2006/04/28 04:09:04

Of course, I'm the silly bugger who spent a full minute in Morrowind walking around a freshly dead alit trying to figure out where the eyes were. And realising that, during battle, I had been looking the beast straight in the nostril.
