swift23 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Okay, thats the outline, what about the inside. Im trying to put it in this picture(its not finished) *sorry that it is large Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Try this: 1. Create a new layer 2. Draw your star on that layer (this will draw the outline) 3. Use the magic wand to select outside of the star (that is, everything but the star) 4. Press Ctrl-I to invert your selection 5. Press Backspace to fill the star with your primary color (or, you could draw a gradient in there) 6. Optional: Feather as necessary Quote Download: BoltBait's Plugin Pack | CodeLab | and a Free Computer Dominos Game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swift23 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 1) the "star depth" wont adjust 2) that would just give a siple filled star, no depth effect like in the picture. I'd like it semi 3-d but not to the point where shape 3d is considored Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoltBait Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Star Depth is a dynamic slider. At 3-4 points, it is disabled. At 5-6 points, it is either on or off. At 7+ points, it can be adjusted. As for the rest, I'm no artist. You'll just have to play with this to get the look you desire.

Curmudgeon Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I've got a rope texture I found in my stash (which was made in PSP)...I tried duplicating it here in Paint.NET, and ended up with something horrid-looking. If anyone wants to try, feel free. For my try, I rectangle-selected a 500x100 rectangle and filled with with the brown colors, and added some noise. On a separate layer I rendered some diagonal lines for the strands of rope and merged it down, then used waves for the top and bottom edge to get the uneven look. Then I jittered and stitched the rope to make it look well-worn... but I still wasn't happy with it. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
