Having trouble with scenary
« on: September 10, 2006, 08:27:18 pm »
Anyone got any ideas for this?

I'm making the image in photoshop, and the green is all 100% the same colour, yet no matter what i try, i can't get rid of the green halo directly around the image...


Yes, antianalize is turned off, and all pixels are set at 100% transparency...




Btw, i know i only have 1 or so posts, but i was a mapper back on the old forums, by the name of Wills59, made about 10 maps with some being quite popular.

Make sure that the green is lime green.

i assume you had antialiasing on in photoshop while you removed the stuff in the backround around the plane. that means photoshop smoothened the green you then applied to your selection at it's edges, so it became a slight fade between green and the planes color. you have to remove those green edges manually now.

Did you resize the plane at all in photoshop?  That would create this problem.

i fixed the problem, just had to reduce the colour depth to 256.

Man, i'm so guttered, i finished this map last night in polyview, and it was really awesome (way better then what you see here) and i went to save it, but for some reason poly didn't save it and I lost 3 hours work !!!


:(

hehe, beat ya ;)

If theres any one actually wanting a map like this, i could be encouraged to finish what i've been working on... does anyone want me to finish it ? I've completely redesigned the towers to allow better gameplay.
