GreatGold Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Hey All - Just a quick question. What software do you all use to design the mock-ups of the X-Net Database, or any non-3D images. I assume its Photoshop, but am I wrong? Gold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deimos Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 Anything that can work with layers really. The gimp is a good open source art package and of course paint shop pro, though not free is a really good prog. Some do use PS but that doesn't mean its a requirement.

Breunor Posted May 12, 2003 Report Share Posted May 12, 2003 The Xnet database menu is a java applet that someone else has the license rights to, the rest of it is html code. With some complex html coding, animated gifs, and some image maps, I could create that menu using just html, but it's way too much effort when it's not going to be implemented that way in the game. Right now it's all in html simply for presenting the UI, and once it's where most everybody likes it, the programming gods will decend and convert it to code I guess....

Guest drewid Posted May 14, 2003 Report Share Posted May 14, 2003 I use Paint Shop Pro at work too mostly. and a little photoshop sometimes. Paint shop pro 6 or 7 is just as good for most games related stuff. (duck, incoming!). Being able to load and save photoshop PSD files is the key requirement really.

Deimos Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 Not being able to save in psd is the gimp's biggest letdown. However it can open them and save in its native format which I think is .xcf (any linux nuttters want to confirm that?) At the end of the day as long as everyone can open it and work on it any prog that supports layer is ok as our output is going to be .png anyway. Check the alpha for examples.

Guest drewid Posted May 15, 2003 Report Share Posted May 15, 2003 (edited) I really like the new brush and selection modes in PS 7. I'm gradually using it more for specific stuff. Still expensive for what it is though. Now if someone would only do a pc version of dpaint 5 Edited May 15, 2003 by drewid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
