How on earth???

Thursday, October 24, 2002 by Aurorae | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk

Hi all, first time Ive been to site, and just out of sheer amazement and curiosity, how do the people who make the wall papers do that?
I mean, they are pretty damn good, and I would like to where you would even start to make one of those?

hi aurorae and welcome i think you'll find the folks who make walls use all sorts of different programs, from Bryce, to PhotoShop, to Paint Shop Pro, etc. some of these programs can be downloaded as trials before purchase. just fire one up and see what happens ... gotta start somewhere

don't give up -- it really does take some time to learn the programs and experiment

Lady,

How did BoXXI do this? https://www.wincustomize.com/skins.asp?library=8&skinid=5740 I've been messing around with photoshop for a few years and this is simply amazing.

It's there, somewhere...deeply buried in the menu structure...just takes years to find.

Jobeleca: There are far more complex pieces in my collection, click on my name and take a look at "Unicornered", "How winter kills", and "The Summoning" just for starters. And then there's the hardest image I ever made, "Life?". I ruined my eyes making that one, zoomed in at 600% most of the time. Magenta dreams took a little while, but nothing compared to the ones mentioned above. Beware! my page takes a little time to load, there are over 180 items!

Peff: I can't find that genius filter. The one I use most is the "Patience" filter in 5.5.
