I have no artistic ability what-so-ever, I know exactly what I want. I have to find a way to create graphics by myself because I can never seem to find the words to describe what exactly I want to get done. Does anyone know of a computer program that could make graphics design a little easier?
as far is i know... if you want to draw a picture, you have to draw it. no program can draw for you (i may be wrong)
why don't you just get someone else to do the graphics for you. if you keep in touch then you cab keep explaining what you want to the artist to do untill the graphics are perfect.
thats what i'm doing (only the other way round) cos i can't code to save my life !!! :D so i just ask people if they would like to help me make a game.
just post up your basic idea and style, and when someone is interested, you can PM them or e-mail them to get exactly the graphics you want.
hope that helps... probaly not eh? :D
Heh, what I do is just think of what I want, then go to clipart.com, "borrow" a picture from there, and trace it over with the pencil tool so I'm not doing anything illegal. It works great. Theres so many damn pictures at clipart.com...
not that i agree with that method, i thought i might help some people with the whole 'robbing the clipart from clipart.com'... (As Right Click is disabled)
1) find the page with the image u want
2)click File>Save As...
3)Choose a nice place, or make a new folder called something like 'i steal pictures from clipart.com which is low.... :)'
4)Save
5)Look thru the folder made in the folder you made.... something like 'Clipart_com_images'
6)find ur pic, and copy it....... and, uh, 'trace it' like out buddy at PWFilms
Lol, no offence, but the whole point in clipart.com is for them to make money... robbing their images is harsh......
Also, isn't it unsatisfying?
LOL, not my place to argue... Good Luck!
Hehe, well, when the man brings you down, you need to get low. Or... something like that. It's not actually steealing, per se, more of a... "idea giver." Though I do draw a ton of my own stuff, I only use clipart when I really need something interesting. Like Ice Cream Jesus...
i can't draw a straight line so i use swift3d to create my characters/objects. swift3d is a simple 3d modelling program that uses basic shapes to build an object. now it's not gonna paint you a mona lisa but it can create objects/characters (especially for games). as i said it requires no talent to create things but it does require patience and mabey a little lateral thought to break your object down into simple shapes.
this is a tut i did on using swift3d;
