#2 - You can and should skin the components to match

:-D

RedSawn · « **Reply #21 on:** August 01, 2009, 08:28:34 AM »

Yeah. But I only saw fit to skin the outside components. :|

Don't think thats legal Joe.

Pwnator · « **Reply #24 on:** August 01, 2009, 08:54:04 AM »

Read again, dude. ACAMS didn't state that skinning insides isn't allowed.

life robot arena2 · « **Reply #25 on:** August 01, 2009, 09:06:51 AM »

He never even said anything about skinning the grid.
ACAMS is skinning the grid allowed?

yeah thats what I just asked a page ago ..... also since internal component skins are allowed in BOTM I would say they would be allowed in a Skinning Competition

Best not. MS Paint = No no for skinning..
Unless you did get another program. Forgot. But still. It's not your kind of tourney.

MS Paint isnt a bad program, its just the kids who take the spraycan and just scribble everywhere that give it a bad name. I've done work with several graphics programs in my time, I've found a combination of GIMP and MS Paint work best for me. I can't work well without one or the other. There are some things that work in paint that do not in PS or GIMP.

I didn't actually think of that. Huh.

Maybe it was good in it's time. But it's far too featureless in these times to hold a hat to anything.

kill343gs · « **Reply #33 on:** August 01, 2009, 04:43:14 PM »

I'm not saying it compares to PS or anything like that, its just sometimes simplicity is a good thing and I personally have found a lot of uses for it.

System32 · « **Reply #34 on:** August 01, 2009, 04:50:21 PM »

I use it to import skins and add bots to backgrounds..

Heh. Expected a better bot then that, but who cares really?

It is made to skin, not fight, I have always had trouble skinning the shiny wheels, but every thing else skins nicely and the bot has lots of angles to key in on.

RedSawn · « **Reply #36 on:** August 01, 2009, 05:11:26 PM »

I knew that.

how many of you have downloaded NarAI beta ? that logo down the bottom that Naryar put there ? I made that by modifying his signature image in only MS Paint... (it was all I had access to) like Kill343 said its just kids who spray the can everywhere that give it a bad name... if fact for stock robot screenshots if you use the wand tool of a program like photoshop it will cut into parts of the robot but changing the secondary colour of paint will cut the robots out perfectly :-D

also ACAMS is skinning the chassis grid ok ?

ACAMS · « **Reply #38 on:** August 01, 2009, 09:48:37 PM »

I am sure it would make a nice touch.

Are we allowed to re-name the bot?
