Hello people,

 

I am pretty new here, so please don't mind me if content of this comment is already posted somewhere else on forum. :p (I have tried to find...)

I am playing BFME and many of its mods for very long time, and recently I have decided to change some details in game which

really annoy me.

I am posting this comment in hope that someone will explain me in detail, how could I create good area effect look for palanir powers.

For example, I am playing with Elves some of mods, and when I click on rallying call, area effect look is some dwarven symbol in circle.

I have also managed to find dds file of some of those textures, and this is my question:

How in gimp for example (or someother program) I could this picture http://postimg.org/i...6oquqdr7/full/ modify in gimp, so I make

something like this http://s5.postimg.or...a6uf/Power.jpg

I can see there is some tricks probably for background, how to add that white circle with fadding effect etc.

In other words, which is the best way for creating this power area look, and how I should (if I manage to make that white picture), later make dds from it and use it in game? :)

 

Any hint/suggestion is appreciated! :)

 

Regards

In photoshop I would just downsample the color dept of it and apply a single color over the dept, duplicate the layer and add Gaussian blur.

 

No idea how I would go about it in GIMP though.
