[devilman]

Hey,

Ive been expierimenting with 3ds max lately, and I made a peep for rct. When I shrink this peep none of the features are viewable and things just look messed up, to tall of something, this peep was something I needed for a park. I was trying to mke a peep to match the tower of terror objects in my park and here is what ive got...

I don't work with 3D stuff, so my advice may be pretty pointless...

One thing that may help is to lighten the texture a whole bunch. With how dark it is right now, I'm guessing thats one major thing that you'll have problems with. Also, maybe see if you can get the shading right. In the game, the light come from the right side, so anything going the other way will be darker.

Devilman is this the effect you wanted ?

I did this in Paint Shop Pro Version 8 with the illumination effect tool


This is the larger image after I edited out just the background and canvas sized the whole thing to 120x200 pixels.

This is the same image resized down to 32x53 pixels - when resizing like this if there is a smart resize option or keep aspect ratio option be sure to use them so you don't lose graphic quality

I'm in Canada and can get it in Canadian funds through the Jasc now Corel website for about $100.

You can check it out at their website.

Version X(10) is now available...you might be able to get a trial version to check out. I haven't checked for that yet but I understand they have added some new features to this version. They also have plugins for working with dds files to help out with 3D stuff. Not sure how it works but have read a little about it. Still trying to get the 2D designs perfected,,,,lol

devilman, you might also want to create a slightly larger version of these. Consider making colorable versions too. And maybe add something to make them look like toy soldiers. A lot of possibilities with this figure.

You might be able to find an older version for considerably less. I've got PSP8 which I bought near the end of its run. Paid $50 at Best Buy.

Now if I could only learn how to use it....
