GonzoAttacker Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 what do i need to make my own MODs, I have some ideas from my collection of books from model making clear back to the 50's that I have not seen developed? What kind of software? What kind of hardware? What is the learning curve on software? Please list what you use and suggest? Also has anyone started a database like HARV did for scenarios, that would be real cool? Thanks, Michael [This message has been edited by GonzoAttacker (edited 02-21-2001).] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanks a Lot Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 I'm not a mod maker, but it sounds like most people use Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro to make their mods. You can find a list of all known mods at: http://www.combat-missions.net/mods.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Dorosh Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 You can use PAINT (that comes with Windows) if you really wanted to, but could only do the most basic stuff with it. Photo Shop Pro is what I use - cost me 50 bucks, and is ridiculously easy to use. The fun is in the learning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunnergoz Posted February 22, 2001 Share Posted February 22, 2001 I've become totally jazzed on Photoimpact. It's got most everything I need. Learning curve is steep but manageable. Experimenting is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clubfoot Posted February 23, 2001 Share Posted February 23, 2001 Photoshop for me. It's pricey though, and Paint Shop Pro is considerably cheaper while offering many of the same functions. If your serious about making some good mods, a decent processor and lot's of RAM are a must. You'll find that while working on one texture, you'll have many open at once. Making a Hi-res grass mod, for instance, you'd probably have 20 or more images open at once and available for reference. RAM gobbler. I'm running Photoshop 5.5 on a 500 mhz machine w/ 192 meg of ram and it works well with little slowdown. Hope any of this helps a little. Clubfoot.
