it's a nice and helpfull tutorial but I feel it's way easier and faster with gimp and that tool over there

[Badger]

I don't have much experience w/ gimp but it looks like you're using the magic want tool there. That works but it's not perfect, I've found that it's prone to leaving artifacts on edges, and it completely flops on semi-transparent objects like polycarb panels or flames from a flamethrower etc. The method used in the video deals with those situations a lot better.

[Thyrus]

It's not the magic want tool but the one next to it. it selects one color and pics every pixel with exactly that color which is really helpfull as the backdrop is just one color and it's very unlikely your bot has exactly that shade of blue (in this case). I used to use the magic wand and I had the problem you just said but then I discovered that tool

Edit: at the case of polyparts it leaves them as they are in a different shade of blue. all you have to do is change the chroma (if that's the right word.. had to look it up)

[Badger]

Sure, it's the magic want tool applied globally right? It still has the issues I mentioned, although it is a bit quicker.

I just edited the post above.
And it's sorta like the magic wand but without picking up stuff you don't want to be picked up. in the end your tutorial is a good thing for beginners who can improve the quality of their showcases when they start of as the end result is what matters so cheers

[Badger]

Yeah, in the end they're just 2 different ways to do the same thing. This is just how I do it because it's worked best for me in the past :)

Ive never tried grim color reaper in paint.net before, Thanks for the plugin 

[TheOrcCorp]

I have my own way to do this (that's for battlecards/infoboards in my case though) but this is a great tutorial for those who are new to doing things like this! Good work Badger!

[Olister92]

this is the tutorial I've needed! now I can download paint.net and use it without having to try and figure it out, thanks dude

i think people would also be interested to learn how you do the 3d rotating ones too

I actually recorded that earlier today, before realising that I had my mic turned off so the whole thing was silent 🤦‍♂️

Expect a video soon™️
