Sylvir -> [Gimp] A few Questions (5/8/2007 21:18:03)

Okay so i've had practice now, I want to get into pentooling for GIMP. Can anyone point out a Tutorial for one? I did a quick search on the fourms for one, i didn't find anything.



crazysk8er -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/8/2007 21:55:04)

Same here, I wanna know what it's all about. I think it's something with the Paths tool, and Stroking, but I don't know how to do it.

Cool! i figured it out! Except I can't do it that well...but at least i've got the basic idea =D.



_Depression -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/8/2007 23:22:27)

Pentooling is pretty tough, and so therefore isn't used too exclusively in tags (except by me and Rel, but mine suck and he vectors, and Aco, but he's amazing).

Try reading up on some rendering tuts that use the path tool (the real pentool (smooth lines)) and use the stroke path option instead of the "Create Selection" thing...

Oh, and be sure to use each pentool stroke on a new layer (for more freedom)



crazysk8er -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/8/2007 23:32:56)

Doesn't vashigoozes(sp?) also use pentool? Also, do you do that drag anchor thing? Cuz I heard something about that somewhere...I just dunno where =P

Yes, but not exclusively. I'm talking about pentool-only tags.

And the anchors are the dots where you clicked the arrow. Moving an anchor is annoying, so try simply editting it till it looks good.

Ok, but how do you get it that "glowing" effect? Because when I stroke it, it ends up a solid line.



_Depression -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 0:06:33)

stroke it on another layer, then Gaussian Blur to your discretion. Blend and boom.



crazysk8er -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 0:16:22)

Ok thnx[:D]!

:O great, now explain me how you got the line like that, mine sucks



crazysk8er -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 1:11:08)

I made a bunch of Paths, then just clicked on the lines forming the paths, and dragged them around to create that shape. Then Stroked the Path, then added a new layer with the Gaussian Blur. It took awhile to get them lined up nicely though.



I_AM_SO_EBIL -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 1:16:41)

k. thanks =)



DrakelLord -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 1:50:27)

Hmm? how do i stroke the path and wad this this Gaussian Blur?Is it fuzzy Dot?
lol...please reply,i downloaded gimp yesterday and made my sig today XD

Edit,nvm i know how to stroke,but wads the Gaussian blur?



crazysk8er -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 1:53:23)

Go to Filters > Blur > Gaussian Blur. I think I set mine at either 10 or 15.



DrakelLord -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 1:57:14)

Hmm? thanks,will reply if u cant do it



DrakelLord -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 2:03:10)

Hmm..i cant do it!
First i put some stroke,then stroke it with paint tool,then i go put Layer>new Layer
then i go Fliter > Blur > Gaussian Blur,but nothing changes,i am a total noob at this..



crazysk8er -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 2:06:28)

Ok, you have your line right? Open up your layers window, and duplicate that layer. Then do the blur to the duplicated layer, and set it to overlay, or change the opacity or something.



DrakelLord -> RE: [Gimp] A few Questions (5/9/2007 2:19:12)

Ahh,Thanks,i got how to do it,now i have a silly question,for example i wan to cut a head out of a background,how to i cut it easily without having the background in it?
