Being a 3D modeler, I want to texture my safe in GIMP. However, I have no idea how to go about texturing that dial like bit where you turn the handle, complete with numbers.
I want a lines going out from the center, lots of lines, and some numbers along a circular path.
what is the workflow for making footage broadcast legal in smoke.
I have read different explanations on the web, but still not totally clear on it.

I need to make a ruler in 1/32nd increments 4 inches high and 1/2 inch wide, I've tried going for help in other places but I'm such a newb to PS that I can't get it to come out right. specifically I asked for help here but they don't seem a very friendly place for newbs. Some of you guys can probably whip this up really quickly, would you mind emailing me the PSD file at gjowen@knology.net, can you put a black rectangular border around the ruler so I will be able to cut it out easier?
View 3 Replies View RelatedAre there any good tutorials for making textures for 3d objects? Not the objects themselves. Just the textures. I'm thinking of things like, rusty metal, water, stone, bricks, etc.
View 2 Replies View RelatedHow can i turn a picture i have created into a texture. then load that texture, via the texturize option or pattern fill option.
Unsure what format to save the file in, or if there is an easier way to do this.
I want to add some textures to the backgrounds of some artwork and make them fade out over the distance of a shape.
1. First, are patterns that ship with AI considered textures? Like the one I'm using in the attached example?
2. How can I take any pattern/texture and make it fade out over part of the image like in the example image? I did this in Fireworks using the Auto vector tool but I want to be able to do it in AI.
I like to know how do you go about making normal maps for textures
View 3 Replies View RelatedI was wondering if it was possible to change the origin of the ruler?
I have a template page I'm trying to set up where I have guides placed roughly an inch into the paper. What I want to do is change the ruler so that the origin, that is point 0,0 , is at the cross hairs where the vertical and horizontal guides meet.
What I want to do is make a Ruler. In particular a Ruler that goes up to 360. This is going to be a Liner Setting Circle that I am going to use to wrap a Dobsonian Base with. So these are going to be in Degrees.
My plan was to try and break up each degree in to 20 increments. I was hoping to used the (Filter>Render>Pattern>Grid) feature to do this in layers. To have 3 Layers overlapping. One are 360 for the main degree marks. One at 3600 for the increments of 2 between each degree. One 7200 for the increments of 1 between each degree.
When I set the ruler to inches, I get divisions that divide by 10 such as 1.1, 1.2 etc inches.
Is there a way to set it so the divisions are set to 8, so each division between the inches are based on 1/8th of an inch?
I'm a first time GIMP user. I'm a long-time Adobe PhotoShop user.What is the default ruler units. How can I change the ruler units and divisions to whatever I want?
View 3 Replies View RelatedCurrently when I create a new layer within an image, and set the horizontal and vertical size using “inches” instead of “pixels,” and display the image at 100%, it shows 10 tick marks in the ruler to equal 1 inch.
I want rulers in my image to be scaled at 1/8”. Therefore, it should show 8 tick marks in the ruler with each tick mark (incremental unit) to represent the 1/8” scale. Example: 4 tick marks would equal ½”.
The other day I wrote a tutorial for making low-res textures, useful for game art (My use) or for minecraft texture packs.

I have tried using Textures mainly for replacing the background on a photo. So far I have been able to do it but alot of the times the main subject in the image is covered by the texture. My goal is to replace the background only with a texture and leave the rest of the image as is.

[URL]
What I need to do...
1.) Take screenshots of various pages of code (did this)
2.) Use masks (or maybe not) to apply some sort of texture behind each screenshot
3.) Use a perspective effect to rotate each page of code to varying extents
4.) Use masks and transparency (or maybe not?) to paste the pages on top of each other in layers
I should be looking up and combining to get there, and with other specifics.
Regarding (1), do I want to capture screenshots of black text on a white background? Or, the reverse? Regarding (2) and (4), are these right?
I want to do for X plane 10. As x plane uses only a single texture per object i need to create a texture which would contain all faces of a building e.g. the roof / front / back etc.. , i tried one by making a 1024x1024 area and imported the other images and saved them as a single jpg. but the texture is not showing up.
View 9 Replies View RelatedIs there a way to select a portion of an image, and create patterns/textures that fill the selection?
If yes, is there the option of using my own images as the pattern/texture to be used? And is there the option to fill the selection either randomly or pattern-like? 'Noise' is not what I'm looking for.

I'm currently using GIMP for making textures for a 3D game. These textures are drawn by hand and making those "tileable" is a bit awkward most of the time. There's all sorts of manual methods but I'm wondering if there's something that will take care of this in real time. Anyway what I'm looking for:
Is there a way to create layer groups which contain the very same layers at different locations? Or displaying the same layer group in two places next to each other? So stuff I draw in one place is "cloned" in real time to another layer or group? What I want is the ability draw seamlessly, so when I draw at or past the layer borders on the bottom I automatically draw at the top border.
I can kinda achieve this manually either by offsetting a layer or by making the layer bigger in size than the texture I want and then cutting and pasting the details beyond the actual texture size to the opposite side. But those are very awkward procedures, especially when working with many layers that have to be drawn and edited separately. Is there maybe some automated feature that takes care of this for me in real time?
A friend of mine using CS3 is unable to display TV safe lines when the NTSC DV 720x480 (with guides) option is selected in the preset drop menu for a new file. Any suggestions?
I'm running CS and have had no problems viewing TV safe guides.
trying to set up a TV safe zone with an image for a project he is doing.
Is it possible to do it withoin photoshop. He is convinced he can do it. But is getting very frustrated that he cannot remember how.
A client I'm doing a site for right now is having a hard time understanding that there are only so many fonts that can be used on a website for text. She doesn't like Arial, and wants something that draws more attention. But I don't want to go to a serif font either.
I really don't know the complete list of 'standard', web-safe fonts. Anyone able to help me out here? Maybe I will find something more to taste if I know what will show up.
Mackbookpro will only start in safe mode for now, and have to make a few things in ps immediately. Have full ps function in safe mode except I can't save my files. Ps quits unexpectedly upon saving anything in any format.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI use PS CS2 alot to make adds for my company that goes into business magazines. Cometimes the content is rather "heavy", and over time i've developed a style which focuses more on function and communicating a msg, than on design (engineers love this).
Now I've found out what file format most of the guys who prints the magazines likes (Press qual PDF with crop marks and sometimes bleeds), but lately when I "safe as" from PS, my image size is not preserved in the PDF!
No matter if I do custom settings or use the defaults. Today im working on a 80mm x 125mm, 300pix/cm (pixel dimensions are 2400x3750) add for a magazine. When I safe as Press Quality PDF, I end up with a PDF, scaled down 3-4 times in size.
Needles to say, im baffled. I've done this countless times, and cant figure out whats wrong.
I've made a dump with the image settings for the PS image, and directly after an export, in Acrobat. See for yourself (note, 1" is approx. 2.5 cm, so the PDF image is approx 3.15x4.93 cm).
I just made a multilayered logo for a website. I forgot to make sure that the colors were web safe on the first couple of layers. Is there a way to go through and make sure they are safe or is there a way to make the entire image websafe in one step?

I need to take a single image which is a restaurant floor layout, then make it so all of the tables on the image are a different layer so that they can be moved around/customized accordingly.
As far as I can tell, this would involve creating layers, copying the tables from the main image, pasting them all on top as their own layer, and then sliding them around from there.
Is there any easy way to do this, or am I completely off-base?

the steps to make the background transparent
I have scanned in some red coloured Chinese characters. They were on white paper. Now I want to make the 'white' disappear, because it ist not quite white, and when I print I get a shadowy block around the characters. If I save a .png, can I tell it to make white invisible, transparent?
