Ok I have recently obtained PS by means we don't need to go into, But i've found it extreamly complex to use. However with the help of PSP i've managed to use both programs to produce the following Cameos.



More will come shortly

You should add some thunders to the Tesla Coil and work with structure perspective. Otherwise cool work

[Shine On]

Some thunders to the Tesla Coil? What do you mean?

[Kazyumi]

Electricity sparks of when the Tesla Coil is on.

[OmegaBolt]

Wow, nice cameos! I like especially like the gun turret one, it is mych better than the usual one i see around.

[Athena]

Nice cameos, I especially like the Tesla one . Sparks are a nice idea. Don't know how hard it is to make that.

[Rawlo]

in psp it depends on how long your willing to put into it, electricity isn't hard to make but it takes ages

[Legion]

Nice, but the shadow angles on the two gun turrets do not match.

[Gamemate]

Prime is right, the shadows are not correct according to the buildings either. Other than the flaws pointed out earlier they are pretty good.

[Major_Gilbear]

I largely agree with Prime and Gamemate.

Also I have two observations to make:

The Turret cameo is better than the original one (the one supplied with the SHP anyway) IMO, and also the cameos should be "themed" according to the side they are for.

If you look at the Allied cameos they tend towards the blue/green spectrum, whereas the Soviet cameos tend toward the red spectrum. Perhaps you should theme your versions accordingly? See Mooman's Capture Pack cameos for a visual example of what I mean.

[Shine On]

Actually, i was trying to re-create one of the old versions of the pre-release Tesla Cameo. The one they used at E3 with the red text. However you could only see the bottom half of it...

Besides there are a couple of Soviet cameos (such at the Wall and the Sentry gun) that have a snow theme. So i was thinking of making the snow theme for most of the soviet cameos

[Shine On]

Ok Two More Cameos. Not as good, i don't think but still they are not that bad
One of them is a new ChronoShift Cameo and the other is a new Nuke Silo one.

[ihateharriers]

that chronoshift cameo is cool, and the nuke isn't too bad. keep up the good work, you're gettin somewhere.

[OmegaBolt]

The Nuke Silo one aint bad and the Chrono one has a nice concept. Reminds me of the good old RA1...

[Legion]

Nuke one is a bit pixelated.

[Beowulf]

The Chronoshift is the best one but the rest are meh. They just don't seem that special... They're just the structure pasted on a background. Actually, I fail to see the great in there. No offense Xeno but I'm not that impressed. =\

[Steax]

Ya know fen but that's a bit of an understatement. I think they're quite ok, its not easy getting an in-game screenshot to a cameo. But anyway, there are a couple of ways to get that spark stuff. You might want to try making a new layer, drawing some electric lines, then distort it.

Good job on the chronoshift one. Too bad the pallete is crap...

[Legion]

He could atleast use photoshop so that when he down-sizes the nuke SHP, it does not become all pixely. Photoshop does not do that.

[Shine On]

Really Prime. I never thought of using PS for that oh well i may do that instead

As for that Nuke on yes it is a bit crap. I feel that the only decent building one i've done is that Tesla Coil one.


@ steax - I've never gotten to grips with layers. But i'll try and learn.

@ Fen - I agree



Ok here are two more i did around the same time as the nuke. Dunno whether they are better but i'll show you anyway.

the refinery is cool

but the iron curtain needs some work, it doesn't have the same angle as the ground.

and just curious, what version of psp do you use?
