Paint shop pro 8.10, I'm using it from the very beginning, also I have Photoshop CS 1 but usually I'm using PSP 8 because vector drawing works much faster ;)

oh and all you need for aztec drawing is Vector tool set to point-to-point drawing, that tool is present in every graphic editor ;)

I recommend you PSP 8 or 9, it's cheap and easy to use for starters.

if you don't have the money for the latest full version of photoshop CS, Photoshop Elements is a lot cheaper, while it doesn't have all the fancy features of the full version, it will get you where you need to go.

*starts taking notes* this is the one area of texturing I just can't pull off.  I can't get some of the "radial" elements i've had other people tell me about to work at all (i don't have a Polar Coordinates command)

i might just search for its portable version, cause i already have photoshop CS3 and CS5, both portable versions, obviously.

I like to use Paint.net for vector drawing and aztecing because it has a very complex line tool with a 4 point curve feature too. And it's free... only problem is there is no alpha channel making thing.....

free DXTBmp  has a great alpha channel making facility.  Prefer it to Photoshop when have to create alphas (as often do for BC)  and use all the the time  :D

Banned for mod theft I believe. Specifically, using someone else's work and passing it off as his own.

i personally contacted both creators of the models Starkiller was trying to say were his WIPs and then later said he got permission... 
upon corresponding with them, Starkiller was permabanned...


anyway, i figured id leave this thread here for future reference, as it does contain good info for anyone else who might ask the same question later...

No, Jimmy, I appreciate you (MOD) status and the postiton you hold regardless (The guys like you no matter what - firm but fair)

  You always float that line well hence yo got your position of mod, but this thread needs deleting!!!!

You want to do textures:- Use Photoshop... if thats not an option use Paint Shop Pro!!! 

You want to draw aztecs then do them manually, its the best way.. for a saucer use polar coordiantes.

I understand the question, but lets leave that to respectable members of the comunity.. this idiot should be remebered for nothing !!!

KCS: mate aztecs should be drawn in slowly, and detailed.. thats the diff !!!  :thumbsup:

 ok rant over just dont want this place spoiled     :)

quite the contrary - the name should be remembered and known as a thief and a liar for what he is - thats why i deleted all his other threads, leaving that one (and this one also, since it actually seemed helpful for others in the future) lol ;)

It just saddens me that some people have to resort to such methods these days... :(

it's life...  alot of people are disgusting and dishonest in life lol

also he underestimated the professionalism and wide-scoped knowledge of BCC modders to their art and what is out there as they appreciate other artists in the field...  and from what i understand, he isnt very pleasant in BCFiles comments either...
ah well, BC has a long list of those types in the last 8 years anyway, believe me lol
