Title: I need some photoshop help..
Post by: cotton on Monday, June 28, 2010, 00:44:02 AM
So here's the deal..  I want something like this (http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t148/Palmer1TF1/desktop.jpg) but instead of "orange" I want it to say "cotton" and instead of being in orange for it to be in white with the top layer to have a black border..
If it's to much work I can offer like 5 bucks paypal.  :) lol.

lol, ask Delta to make a 3D render in Blender. He's the only one that knows how to use 3D stuff.

I have letters in UnrealEd courtesy of Delta. Maybe I should steal his potential $5...

Chances are, whatever I did would end up like this:

If you want me to go for it, I will.

1. Will the letters be so blocky?
2. Can you move them like they are in "orange"?

The letter style can't be changed without someone like Delta. I can move them wherever and add whatever. The shadows should be a bit more accurate in whatever I made, for some reason they bugged out in that screenshot.

Lol.  Well if the font could be changed I would say here's five bucks, get to work.  Lol.

I can't change the style. Size, location, color and orientation, sure. Who knows when Delta will be back and have enough time to do it though :)

Lol.  It's all good.  Thanks though  ;)

I played around anyway since I was bored. Here's what I came up with:

Not to bad..  Lol.

Want me to play with it or get you a larger version or anything?
Title: Re: I need some photoshop help..
Post by: cotton on Monday, June 28, 2010, 03:09:10 AM
Well since you can't change font (:\) can you do a color change?  To white with a black border?  Or that not possible either? lol
Title: Re: I need some photoshop help..
Post by: Spanky on Monday, June 28, 2010, 03:24:33 AM
I can change the color to any solid color. I can't do multi-colors or textures. To put it simply, there's things called uv maps and they dictate how textures are layed on 3d objects. When Delta made those letters for me, I didn't have him put any uv maps on them because I didn't need them and they take a while to make.

Alright.  Well just plane white maybe a little gray works.  Other than that..  It's all good :)
But I wont take it till I see what the people on the other sites I posted on come up with..  I don't wanna waste 5 bucks.  Lol.

I won't take your money. I'm sure plenty other people deserve it more than I do :) Here's white, grey and orange in a AA 2.5 map for you to take a screenshot in whatever size/angle, don't get a ban with the files :)

I fixed your link. Anyway, he's probably working with a program a bit better than an ancient game engine :)

Surely you've played mAAp enough to know how to manipulate the files. I don't think I did anything wrong in the map.

I got a scene laid out in 3dsmax but I gotta work on the lighting.  Lighting is something I never paid much mind to but it seems moar important with something like this.

Post by: Dialects on Monday, June 28, 2010, 07:25:43 AM
I also do 3D? Just haven't showed you guys any of the continued stuff, really.

I pay a lot of attention to lighting. Maybe because I was initially a photographer?

Urban Ninja doesn't have enough light sources. Thumbs down.

Yeah that's it..  Lol.  I really only played when I was admin on your server :D
But I put the two files you gave me in the staticmesh folder and the other in the maps files..
