Reworking my tutor for better visibiliy and learning.
This is a large tutorial mainly about skinning, but there are also some small amounts of information on textures and models. If you didn't notice, there is not going to be anything special or flashy here. Just a few little effect, etc. so that the attention will be placed on learning and not how cool the page is.
I have made this tutor for several reason. One is because many people want to learn, but it takes a long time to learn how some of things are done. If someone shows you how something is doen, you can excel in it quicker, and you can learn your own methods and styles faster. Another reason is becasue of the constant email that I was recieving that was not thought out very well before it was sent. Even though I have this large tutorial that shows how I draw things, I still recieve mail like that. Hopefully, you can learn enought from this to not have to ask a question that displays a lower intellegence. I probably have a few more reasons as to why I have done so much work on this tutor, but the chances you have read down this far are really low, so I'll stop with the reasons.
Special notes: (if I recieve mail that asks a question that's answered here, I willl just delete it)
This page is best viewed in IE 4.0 in 800x600 or higher.
If at any time I refer to a mode called Retouch, you can use the Airbrush to get the
same effect.
Modes:
Retouch Airbrush
Lighten = White (R:255 G:255 B:255)
Darken = Black (R:0 G:0 B:0)
It's that simple kids!
Please learn the program you plan to use BEFORE you ask me something. I more than likely will not answer a question like, "where is the retouch button?" or "How do I save a PCX in colors?" Those are very simple things that you can learn for yourself with just a little time experimenting with programs.
I will not take note of a question regarding using MS Paint. It is a simple program Microsoft made a long time ago that really does nothing, and I suggest you do not even think of using it.
I have listed the programs that I have and use for skins, textures, etc. I will not answer any questions about programs other than those because I don't have the programs and can not possible answer the questions.
Some of these things may seem harsh, but I'm a busy person. I don't have the time to answer ever question thrown at me, so don't feel sad if you don't get a reply.
