What program do you use?

Post by Monroe »

I was thinking I really need to learn another program. And what better than something used to make space ships? I would assume its photoshop mainly but I know that's not cheap.

So what's a free (or can be free *hint* *hint*) program that I could download from an *assuming* legal source?

None. They always surrender right before they finish the job and never tell you why.

Google has one thats free and pretty good. It does have a few limitations though.
What does defeat mean to you?

Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.

If you are looking for a free image editing program, try Gimp. Google it.

God I'd hate to think what results you'd get for googling gimp...

I'm almost afraid to try :P
I don't need anything too advanced. Just would be cool to be doing Reliant and Graham level of art work. DarkOmen's level is way off for now :p (no offense to the former I like their art :P)

I use photoshop; most of mine were done in CS3, the more recent stuff in CS4.

I've been playing around with gimp some. Its pretty difficult to draw with a mouse. Once I find the right button Imight just do what I did with PC Paint and make straight lines then curve them :P
