custom paints by splitterpoint


 Share

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone,

 

In this topic you can find the custom paints that I made trough Tankviewer.

I discovered Tankviewer in late 2012 and started making abstract work that could be fitted on tank models.

Now I am not a real pro in photo editing but I do know a bit about color combinations and texture placement. Some things work out great and some don't. Creating textures in Tankviewer is completely abstract.

 

What I found very appealing on creating custom paints is that you can get some nice results in a matter of minutes. On the other hand some paints took hours or even a few days to finish with constantly tweaking colors and texture placement.

 

Most of the files have the size of a few KB and dimensions don't stretch further than 100 x 100 pixels.

Sometimes I feel I'm painting with pixels. The paint itself multiplies itself on the tank in Tankviewer to give it a seemless fit.

Not all paints are like that though. Some of them are around 3 MB. I usually do those when the texure doesn't have to be symmetrical so one texture file covers the entire tank.

 

I use GIMP for creating paints. Please note that the start of my work 5 and a half years ago is not made in GIMP but are plain google samples edited in paint or gone trough some color correction in windows photo editor. (you have to start somewhere :P) Later on I started using Photoshop CS3 but quickly switched to GIMP.

 

Every single paint I've made trough tankviewer is listed under here in the spoilers.

Feel free to share some ideas if you have them!

You get a standing ovation from me!

I love nora, I have a cat called Nora..;D

Warqueen looks nice too, it is a bit similar to the much better cette histoire (Which is still my favorite)

Mixed carbon is really great!

 

PS, I'm glad you're back.. :)

Thanks for the awesome compliment; I'm glad to see everyone at the forums again. ^_^

Now I have to behave... the ban was a torture; especially the recent clan war.

I like cryptic and veteran and Ironizer, but a lot of your paints are a bit too colorful.

 

Thanks for the feedback; I'll try to lower the brightness levels if possible from now on. ;)

 

great job

 

Thank you. ^_^
