Just Messing Around In Photoshop

<div class="IPBDescription">weee</div> Its not to bad but I take no credit at all for the textures they're all from Fam's V_wad.wad all i did was edit the little computer screen from v_teckwall5

Once again, I am mystified by how that text was made.

Delarosa

which text? the trans, or the menus?

ShadowXOR

The text is VERY simple.

Anyway, can we see the original before you edited it, so I can see how much work you actually did?

Either way it looks nice, I'm just curious.

For the "Trans System Authority" text all you would do is make text in all caps, change to a similar font, make the text strong, bold, and faux bold if you need to make it thicker. Then right click on the layer, blending options, then add a 1 or 2 pixel stroke. Obviously you have to change the text and stroke color too match.

For the home, roster, matches, etc. text. Type in all caps, use a font similar to that (I think it's Minion). Then change the text color, and add an outer glow, or a stroke depending on how clean you want it to look.

It's not that hard I added the lighting effect but ya all I did was put it together. Shadow was right about the menu text and for the trans system authority all i did was make it three seperate layers and color them differently

I'm really experienced in Photoshop. Your thing was very nice! I need to do some more work, I haven't done much in a while... <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

Waitaminunute! WTH is a faux bold?

Fam

Looks rather nice indeed, good job. One thing I would suggest is to put a bit of texture into the background, stop it looking so flat. There are a few repitions where bits have been cloned that stand out aswell, try running over those with an overlay brush to make it a bit less blocky. Other than that, very nicely done.

AllUrHiveRBelong2Us: Bold typefaces are designed by the font maker to be the same as the Regular style but with a larger surface area. Faux bold is when Photoshop 'fakes' a bold effect by (instead of using the bold version of the typeface) expanding the font data at runtime. Or something like that.

For anyone that cares, my new WAD file from which those textures were used is available over in the mapping forum.

r3men4nt

Ya fam you're right but do you know how hard it is to get a texture to properly repeat it's self especialy if I wanted a table on top of the texture to write text or something. Putting that aside what do you mean by overlay brush or do you mean the healing bush?

r3men4nt

All I can say is god damned im so boored, I have no school until febuary!

It would be fun to play around with these in PS...what program would I use to open the .wad files?

Novakoala

Try <a href='http://www.telefragged.com/wally/' target='_blank'>Wally</a> to open the texture wads (it can save out as bitmaps).

r3men4nt

ya i used wally but dont getthe bitmaps jst go export and that way you get better quality and file size

ShadowXOR

Wow I'm dense, I already use Wally to make sprays haha.

Ok this doesn't much have anything to do with the main topic, but about <b>website</b> art... So I have this very neat looking image, that has the same BASICS as the one the topic author included, that has like left part and top part (I dont have the same, just the same shape). Now here's the question, how do I use the picture to my website as the left part as left frame and top part as topframe? I got 1 picture and 3 frames and I need the whole picture to the site. So do I edit them into 3 parts with PS or whats the idea?

If you did not get my point, I will explain more, I have this boomerang shaped, plain piece of art that I (made and) want to use on my website, so that the other "wing of a boomerang" goes to the top- and the other "wing" goes to left frame. But, it's just that HOW do I make it look like one big piece, notin 3 different pieces. Well, like I said, the author of the topic has just the same style that I do, so how could I for example use the top part in topframe and left part as leftframe.

i think i get you.

theres probably a bunch of different ways of doing this, but heres what i would do.

first, take the image into imagready and 'slice' it up, you know, for links and such. then, go into the html that imageready produces after you publish it, and add an inline frame where you want your main body to be. then target all the links to that frame. get it?

heres and example, admittedly, its probably not the professional way of doing it, but i think it looks ok.
