How do you create new intro screens?

Syxx_Killer · 09-26-05, 10:24 AM

I've been thinking that with all the screenshots I have taken and that with each patrol a new shot seems to pop up, I'd like to turn some of them into intro screens. I'm just unsure how that is done. How do you transfer the SH3 logos and stuff to a different image?

Paint Shop Pro, Photoshop...

Use PaintShop Pro, Photoshop, GIMP, or InfranView... The last two are freeware. I use GIMP, btw.

I haven't done it myself, but I suppose you would just crop out the SH3 logos from the original screens and apply them to your new screens, on a seperate layer. Then you can edit and resize as you see fit.

Make sure to save your files in such a format that will accept layers (for example, .psd or .psp). Then export to a .tga when you want to try it in-game, while making sure not to delete your psd's or psp's. Then you can always go back and edit.

Just a few basic steps... Have fun!

I've got Gimp, but it never seems to work the way I want it to.

The latest issue upon the reinstall about a month ago, is that the paintbrush action will not paint the colors I want. I always reverts to white. Highly annoying.

I will play around with it, though.
