But seriusly. How do I upload pic's. Embarassed

You have to put them on an image hosting site first like Brickshelf.

Wow I didn't think I'd get this many comments!

I'll be sure to add more in the future... like my hologram, force ghost, lightning...

If you want more of my special effects check out this.

Blade, can I post some pics of my special effects?

by Thunder-blade on Sun Sep 28, 2008 10:39 am

Sure go right ahead... this thread is for tutorials and examples!

I like your new signature by the way...

by Astor on Sun Sep 28, 2008 10:45 am

No I mean to gimp.

by Thunder-blade on Sun Sep 28, 2008 10:46 am

Just edit the photo you want to do and save it.

Then upload it to whatever image hosting site you use.

Thanks! I made that with the gimp as well!

Here is a sig I made for someone on another forum:

Nice! Very nice! I think Cody's muzzle shot is a little pointy... good though!

I love the last one!

I might use GIMP thanks!

Here's another tutorial on Force Ghost and Holograms!

Take the Paths Tool (B)

That's it! If you want to add blue lines across the "Ghost" to make a hologram that's cool too!

this would be so helpful If I could load it Roll Eyes

. I just have to get moms aproval on it then I can load it.

I'll get he to unblock this week TB.

by Thunder-blade on Sun Sep 28, 2008 11:37 am

I made this.

It's not the best but I kinda like it!

by Jedi Joe on Sun Sep 28, 2008 2:54 pm

I love your work Thunder! The only complaint is the black line around the saber, everything else is fantastic. The Force Ghost/Hologram is brilliant! Keep up the good work.

by Astor on Sun Sep 28, 2008 4:19 pm

Post how to do lightsabers to! Smile

by ODST7 on Sun Sep 28, 2008 4:31 pm

He already did. It's the same as the blaster bolt.

by Thunder-blade on Sun Sep 28, 2008 6:43 pm

Not really... It has a few differences....

by Thunder-blade on Sun Sep 28, 2008 7:09 pm

Sorry for the double post but I have a lightsaber tutorial for you all!

I didn't make this, but this is the best tutorial for GIMP out there.

Join in next time for the next episode! Force Lightning!

Remind me how you do that? I can't get the layer thing up. I can create a layer, but where is it? And where is the Layers, channels, paths, and whatever window?

by Thunder-blade on Sun Sep 28, 2008 7:56 pm

You seem to have the same problem as me... I could never actually make the lightsaber his way... so I improvised.
Just do the shape like he did, color it white, and then Gaussian Blur 25 and then do the Color Balance.

It's a simplified version that doesn't look as good but it works.

by Alpha on Sun Sep 28, 2008 9:42 pm

I'm just wondering, does this look good?

And it's taken from the Battle of Feyla (Order 66).
