Topic: [HELP] What to use

Hello.


These are the programs to use to make skins, arts and other graphics.

Now if you want something free get Inkscape and Gimp

Inkscape is a good Vector graphics software.

Gimp is sort of a mini-photoshop you can use gimp to make your skins transparent or change the format.

Gimp can also be used to make arts too.

Trick: If you make a skin in inkscape and then make it an .SVG file you can do something to make it not look bad
(if your skin is good then do this) 1. Make the skin  2. Save it as an .SVG file  3. Go into gimp  4. Open up the file in gimp  5. Make it transparent and then go to file>save as>Save as an PNG> Your done.

I did it and it sort of did not look as bad. If it doesn't work with you then do not do it

Now if you want something better and good but you need some cash to get it get adobe illustrator and photoshop

Like gimp. Photoshop can be used to make arts but it will look better

Illustrator is a really good vector graphics software

Well this is it for now.

Re: [HELP] What to use

In Inkscape you could just gp to "export as bitmap" (Ctrl + Shift + E) and save it as a .png-file. Works fine for me.
And in my opinion, Photoshop or Illustrator aren't really necessary because they are at the one hand very expensive and on the other hand, Inkscape is like the best program for TW graphics (I think most of the artist here do their stuff with Inkscape (Landil, Crises, Messy, etc.)

Btw, where is the sense of your post?

Just because you use an expensive program your art doesn't get better.

Re: [HELP] What to use

Yep. There is a page, I forgot its name, but it was kinda providing free alternatives to photoshop etc.
Nearly all tw gfx were afaik made with illustrator (adobe illustrator, supports ai files.), and according to this page inkscape is the only right alternative.
Gimp is the alternative to photoshop.
So here we come to a conclusion: USE INKSCAPE.

The dumber people think you are, the more surprised they're going to be when you kill them.
