Title: Photoshop tutorial: Starfields
Post by: Steeveeo on May 13, 2009, 08:32:16 PM
Hey all, I just finished writing a nice Photoshop tutorial, and wish to share.

(http://www.bzcomplex.com/gallery/albums/userpics/10054/Final_Product.PNG)
Download it here. (http://www.savefile.com/files/2102185)

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.

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! :)
