Rinku Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Very nice job Liwar...Ky'ram looks sweet. I checked the request page on the CCP website and we had this request. Slicer - green at joints and visor black everywhere else Anti-Armour Attachment Green Republic Symbol On Chest. Pretty simple compared to what I have made recently...but I still made it Slicer If you would like anything added I am more than willing to do that.

K1lingdr3ad Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 How do you guys make them so well? I have photoshop, but i can't understand how to make them so realistic looking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 How do you guys make them so well? I have photoshop, but i can't understand how to make them so realistic looking. Selecting an area of the armor, then pressing Hue/Saturation or pressing Color balance. Or doing other edits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General LiWar Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 if you haven't had the chance to check the ccp site requests, here's the new one Snowdrift Turquoise at the joints, and white armor everywhere else, Turquoise republic symbol on forehead. Anti Armor Attachment This is my brother's request. BTW K1lingdr3ad you can post your request in this thread if you want.

K1lingdr3ad Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Selecting an area of the armor, then pressing Hue/Saturation or pressing Color balance. Or doing other edits. I know this will sound like a really stupid question, but i'm really new with photoshop, and what tool do you use to select a piece of the armor, and where are the Hue/Saturation, Color Balance buttons? And i will post requests here now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-Duck Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi everyone, this is my first post here so any comments would be helpful As the title suggests this is Jackal Squad, and from left to right it is: RC-2294 Jag, RC-2015 Rust, RC-1009 Sem and RC-2012 Wasp. Hope you like them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K1lingdr3ad Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hmmmmmmmmm. I'm not sure I am at the right place, because i can't see any of these options that are in the tutorial. This might help...To get to photo shop I just open one my pics of a custom commando and it brought me to this ImageReady thing. Help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 I know this will sound like a really stupid question, but i'm really new with photoshop, and what tool do you use to select a piece of the armor, and where are the Hue/Saturation, Color Balance buttons? You can use your lasso tools (it looks like a lasso. If you hold down the lasso button, you can choose the polygonal lasso or the magnetic lasso, each has its own pros and cons) to select an area. After you've selected an area, press the Image button at the top, go to Adjustments, then press Hue/Saturation or Color Balance. If you use Hue/Saturation, a good idea is to check the colorize button. If you use color balance, a good idea would be to desaturate your selection/layer (Ctrl+Shift+U is the hotkey) so that it turns into the color you want it to. EDIT: Hmmmmmmmmm. I'm not sure I am at the right place, because i can't see any of these options that are in the tutorial. This might help...To get to photo shop I just open one my pics of a custom commando and it brought me to this ImageReady thing. Help? When you installed photoshop, it might've automatically set a certain image type to open with imageready. I know when I installed photoshop on W7, it made my .png files open with IR. What you do is either right click a .png file, and tell it to open with Photoshop, or you can open Photoshop, press open (or Ctrl+O), and select your image manually.

K1lingdr3ad Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Well, i didn't actually install it, i just opened a pic of a custom commando that i saved to my computer, and it brought me straight to IR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-Duck Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Two things: 1) when i posted my clone pics they don't show up on the actual thread, how do you get them to show? 2) also there's another way of selecting pieces of armour on the clones in GIMP. it takes more time but is more accurate. if you use the paths tool (under tools-paths) you can select the piece you want by placing points around the edge then selecting Select-from path, then colour it to your liking, then press Select-all and you have the whole picture back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1lingdr3ad Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Alright, i have everything sorted out. But once you Lasso what you want, and then click Hue/Saturation, a wnidow called Hue/Saturation opens, what do you do there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
General LiWar Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 1) when i posted my clone pics they don't show up on the actual thread, how do you get them to show? I think you may have posted the link to the page not the picture. Photobucket does have a "Share this Image" Box. Just copy the IMG Code one. I'll do it for you this time @K1lingdr3ad just play around with the sliders until you get the look you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-Duck Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 thanks General i see now i'm also writing a story based on the squad, is there anywhere in particular i should post it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K1lingdr3ad Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The Hue/Saturation thing just makes the coloring what I want. What I need to know is how you guys make it look 3d, and realistic, not animated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RC-Duck Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 k1lingdr3ad, i think it would be easier for you to use GIMP, it's a lot simpler and it makes it look realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriggerGod Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 The Hue/Saturation thing just makes the coloring what I want. What I need to know is how you guys make it look 3d, and realistic, not animated. That is what we do. I personally don't like to use Hue/Saturation, I use Color Balance. It gives me a little more control than H/S. k1lingdr3ad, i think it would be easier for you to use GIMP, it's a lot simpler and it makes it look realistic Well, if he already has Photoshop, then it might be a good idea to stick with it. And GIMP isn't simple for everybody. Like with everything else computer related out there, you just have to get used to the controls and such.

K1lingdr3ad Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Both H/S, and Color balance just color it properly, not shade it so that it looks 3-d and real. ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinku Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 That is what we do. Exactly Both H/S, and Color balance just color it properly, not shade it so that it looks 3-d and real. ?? You also have to play around with the layer blending options (overlay, linear burn, multiply etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@RS Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 I personally use multiply. Sometimes Hard Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
