Quick Grassy PlatformsA super quick method to give your platforms a little more depth. |
|
Just tried something and it looks great, thought I'd share since it only took a couple of mins to achieve, but is infinitely useful.. (Paintshop Pro 7 used in this example, but so long as your art package has a selection tool and a brightness tool, you're in luck!) Step one : Draw Floor or if you can't be bothered, make ground colour and add noise..    Step Two : Make grass, set it as the current brush, so you can draw it onto things..  Step Three : Draw it on! Or if you can't work out tiled brushes, copy and paste it. Add a little overhang whilst you're at it..  Step Four : Gradient. Select the grass, and get the "Move selection" tool handy. (In PSP7, it's the 4-way arrow above the regular selection tool.)  Move the selection down pixel by pixel, and use the brightness tool to darken it at each point.  Done..  Step Five : Happy Munky

I can't use this right now, but I will surely in the future. Nice discovery Jay.
