Hello, I am Squallbk's nephew and i am trying to get a parchment look for the assassin's by the dead player and I am so close to getting it done i cannot bear it....i went to the tutorial and it is useful but this is what my image looks like if anyone notices the problem Thank you

Well you need to use the eraser brush with different opacities. You use 100% near the edges of the image, and work inwards going from 100% to 25%.

matt, I think his problem is the bad result of the Find Edges filter if it doesn't work for this particular image, it just doesn't work. don't use it, find an alternative, or play with the options

[SquallBK]

Thank you for the help but i did exact that......I am very confused but i am obligated to do it........and one more question...is the background supposed to look like it to or no? is that just about right just forgot to do what u told me to?

Another mistake you made is that you situated the image too left and part of it will not be visible ingame. I use another technique when I make such images which I inveted myself but it is for photoshop. If you post the original image I can try to make it look parchment for you.

[SquallBK]

ok I hope you can help and thank you very much for it and here is the pic......

[Bart]

he will need only the subject, not including the background, to make it work

[SquallBK]

o...I am sorry......lol...here it is....

[Thorin III Stonehelm]

Not the best I've made and even not my way(tough image) but here's the result:

[SquallBK]

Thank you, You are a very good helper but, if it is not a problem with you I was wondering how you made that parchament work...like the wayyou did it.........and I know I am new to this stuff and you are experienced but I myself think that is liike a perfect job!

I could also use some help putting it in-game if anybody has any idea of how about going to do that

Here's my work based on the ninja you provided:

To get it to work create an *.ini file in data\ini\mappedimages\aptimages and name it (e.g. ROApalantir.ini). Add this to your ini

MappedImage UP_Ninja
  Texture = UP_Ninja.tga
  TextureWidth = 256
  TextureHeight = 256
  Coords = Left:0 Top:0 Right:192 Bottom:192
  Status = NONE
End

Convert my image to *.dds and rename it to UP_Ninja.dds. Copy it to art\compiledtextures\up

Have fun!!!

[SquallBK]

THank you Kotsos

Oooooh it's for the Haradrim Assasins.

well thanks, they look really nice but we're gonna stick with the portrait we got.

[Bart]

ok no problem. it's your mod

[kotsos13]

Well SquallBK, did you test the palantir?

[SquallBK]

yeah i did, everything works fine, thanks once again. I was wondering how you were able to decolorize the image (like turn it black and white with no color) because anytime i attempted it the image would result in what it did at the top of the page...

[Bart]

Image -> Adjustments -> Desaturize

(oh, and perhaps in might be a good idea to get your own account)

[SquallBK]

yeah this is the real squallBK right now but I told him he should register, but he doesn't want to because he never comes on to the forums. I'll get him registered anyway.
