    Both photoshop and paint are obsolete when you can model in 3D!

    3D modeling is great, but not everyone has 3D modeling programs, nor can they afford them. That's why I took the most basic of program that comes on most all windows based computers and showed how to use it.

    Your welcome Dacota.

    I did think about the concepts and sketches thread, but wasn't sure if it would be good to post a bunch of designs in there.
    Especialy not now, after X's coment. Which I agree with.

    But I think I will be posting MHS designs that probably won't get built. It will give people ideas for their sabers.

    iv worked with MS paint more then any other program (10+ years or so) and thought i knew all the little tricks... i was WRONG! thanks for this. even i learned a few things about MS paint! the whole make a red box and put a circle in it for round objects... Genius! i usually spend the time zooming in with a brush and slowly removing everything from around it....

    Corbin Das: Thanks for the tip on using Paint for saber renders! I never thought of doing that. Just one question for you. When I copy/stretch/paste colored sections over top of the bare metal sections or copy/paste whole hilts before changing the colors and then save the image as a .jpg file the colors sometimes become pale and I get "noise" in the colored areas where the color pixels a slightly scrambled and the image looks blurred. Any idea why or how to stop it from happening? it would take a long time to go in and correct things pixel by pixel.

    At Jedi-Elf, The way to stop the pixelation or "noise" is to save it as a .bmp file, takes up tons more room but no pixelation.
    New to the forum: READ, READ, READ! it's the best way not to get flamed.
