Photoshop tutorial: Starfields

[Steeveeo]

Hey all, I just finished writing a nice Photoshop tutorial, and wish to share.

Download it here.

This is a good one for all the BZ2 modders out there who want to add interesting imagery to their skydomes or mod art.

This tutorial covers the basics on how to create a starfield in about a minute and a half, then how to take that image and mold it into a nice piece of art.

From the "Contact Info and Fair Use" section at the bottom, for those of you wondering if you can use it on your personal sites:

Should go on BZCommand!
Also, what format, DOC? I suggest printing to PDF or doing a DOC to PDF website. If you didn't already.

[Steeveeo]

Go ahead and post on BZcommand if you can, please, I don't have an account there.

Id appreciatte a LOT more of these. i need to learn how to make textures.

I also need CS3, something i sure dont have access to at the moment, or the money for.

I just did a speed test to see how fast I could follow my own tutorial and make an image at 500x500.

Clocked in at about 2 and a half minutes and got this:



I am wondering what all you out there can make!

[TheJamsh]

dunno, give me CS3 and ill show ya

[Steeveeo]

You can grab a trial version from Adobe's site.

[TheJamsh]

how long does that last though?

[Steeveeo]

30 days IIRC. More if you like to tweak things.

[TheJamsh]

tweakage huh? as in... infinite tweakage?

i can only see a CS4 trail on the adobe website atm

[Steeveeo]

That will work too.
