ŞťřïЖЄѓ™ Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Hello, and welcome to The Realistic GIMP Holo Tutorial: This tutorial is not using the tool that is being used trillions of times. That tool is,Opacity. Part 1-This is the basic holo Part. Remember, not using Opacity. 1. Ok, First, Save this holosheet. 2.Ok, Easy. Open Gimp. 3.Open your card by going to File>Open. 4.Open your holosheet by this time going to File>Open as Layers 5.This is different. Once opened,go to Scale tool(Shortcut=Shift+T).Change the settings to 244 in width and 248 in height. It should now look like this. 6.Now move the holo into the picture area. 7. Now here it comes. Instead of...opacity...set the layer mode to screen. Plus, make sure it is the holosheet having the effect by selecting the holosheets layer. 8.Basically, you are done! Now. If your cards picture background was black, and nothing else is in there but only the person or thing, you can proceed to step 2. People who are using cards that DON'T have black backgrounds, or do have black backgrounds but have more stuff in there may not proceed sorry. If you want those other things to be used in the next step, Ok. You may proceed. But anyway, people who don't proceed, it does not matter. At least it is better than having a stupid black background making your holo and picture look messy. 9. People who don't proceed, save it as ______.png(______ means you can put whatever name you want there). People who DO proceed however, you do not need to save yet. Step 2-This is making your black background dissapearing from your character and other things so only the background is holoed but the render and other stuff isn't holoed. 1. On your nearly finished card, open up the picture you used for it by going to File>Open as Layers. 2. If your picture is already 244x248 than you may skip step 3. If not, go to step 3. 3. When your picture is open use Shift+T to use the scale tool and like above,enter 244 in width and 248 for height. 4. Position your picture in the picture area. 5. Like above set the mode on the newly opened picture to screen. 6.Your done! The screen makes the black background dissapear. Show off to your friends! And also save by saving _____.png(_____means whatever name you want.) 7. I don't have any black background pictures so I'm sorry but I can't display any pictures for Step 2. Sorry. Any mistakes can be sent to me by PM and I will fix them before you can say Billy Whizz(I might not be able to post the post that quick though...)!

Jericho Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 Its an OK way to do it, but I find that doing the same thing with Dodge on a lowered opacity works much more realistically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
