Can you try your hand at Sallad? I tried it a few years back but couldnt get the arm looking or working properly.
I'll try, AFTER I can find a tutorial on how to import MS Paint pictures into textures that has pictures in it.
I dont quite know what you mean by that but I highly recommend you learn paint.net - infinite undo's and having multiple pics open at once makes the task a lot easier.

I like comedies and slice of life animes.  Lucky Star and Azumanga are two particular favorites.

You should post pictures of the original alongside, unless you really hate how they look side by side.  Circuit Breaker looks pretty cool.


I'm a big advocate of "teach a man to fish," you shouldn't make a habit out of asking people to do stuff for you.  Here's the 101 on good skinning:


-Don't use decals except as marking tools.  They look like crap and they're a pain to place.
-Don't use edge lines either, they just highlight the imperfections in your chassis shape.
-Before you begin the actual drawing, resize the bmp by 4x.  You get a significantly better, sharper, more-detailed skin out of it.
-Use paint.net and tons of separate layers.  Don't flatten it until you absolutely have to.
-Don't copy the entire skin from a photo of the robot.  A logo or complex picture is ok, but not the whole thing.  It's cheating and more importantly, just highlights the imperfections.

Anyone know what the best programme to use for making a movie on? I've got windows movie maker but it isn't working!  :vista:
. What exactly isn't working about it?  It's served me pretty well.

How hard is it to build a computer?  I've built model kits before, but none of them were as fragile or expensive.

Off-Topic Discussion / Is Asus good for gaming?
« on: March 11, 2014, 06:42:55 PM »
I'm in the market for a good gaming PC, and the Asus desktops look like they have really good RAM & CPUs for their prices.  Would it be a good buy? Looking to spend $800 at the max.  The two most technologically-demanding games I'm looking to play are Thief and Bioshock Infinite.


If not, what are the factors that prevent it from being good?



As you can probably tell, I don't know much about computers so while I'm not completely opposed to building my own, the dollar savings are somewhat negated by the worry and risk that I might screw it up


Also tacking on a random question; how can I tell if my desktop is capable of handling 2 monitors?  Both monitors use the VGA connection (I know I can buy a splitter, but I don't know if that necessarily means it works on all computers)

Warhog.  I thought for sure that bot would win a battle somewhere down the line.

I think I'm going to have to murder you for not putting my favourite game on your list.  Not really of course, I'm just satirizing the typical internet denizen.

Still no damaging capabilities? I think ant saws would work perfectly...
They're too big.  Those hexplates are pretty much the biggest things I can have without scraping the ground.  And hexplates do have a bit of damaging capabilities.

Have you told a teacher or any kind of adult you trust?  Make sure to emphasize that you're afraid they'll retaliate if they find out you told on them.

Just uploaded The Termite, my replica entry to the Bot Exchange.  If I have time, I'll make a skinned components version, but if not, you'll at least have something.

Probably free gift.  New studies suggest that carbohydrates are highly addictive, so give them the first hit for free and they're yours for life.

Wow kid, you're unbreakable aren't you?  I did try Twn Trwn way back when, it came out lookinkg like the stock bot alarm, with a skull in place of the hammer and snakw clipart for a skin.  You are the undisputed champ of static replicas.  I really gotta hurry on my bot replica for hellofaces tournament before i fade into obscurity

This YTP is a tribute to the state of Youtube Poop in 2006.  Ear rape at 1:00, but if you're a YT veteran you probably know that's coming.

Never ask people to decide your next replica.  They're sadists, they'll make you do Twn Trwn.

If we run out of US spots, can I take an "extra" slot?  There's probably some Dutch blood in me if I dig far back enough.  Also because it's getting hard to find an Extreme Warriors bot that I can do with a regressed set of tools (since I'm so used to DSL3 now.)

Can't wait to see what happens when you learn external modding
