Guides

[jK]

A brand new Guide section!

Do you know something about Photoshop we don't? Have you created a perfect running animation? Do you know how to texture the damn catsuits? Can you bring the dead back to life?
Then this is the place to post a guide on the subject!

Important!:

- This section will contain guides of varying subjects and varying difficulty.
- Please try to create a cohesive guide. If you want to post it in several parts, please update the old post - it'll be easier to manage!
- Are you uncertain about something? Do you have a question? Then please contact the creator, or post it in one of the discussion threads. This is (as far as possible) only for actual guides and files.

I remember your posing tutorial teaser from the old forum. Is there any chance of it's appear?

I should try to bring the pose edit tutorial thingy back to life. At the moment I'm so busy that I even haven't got the time to view this forum...

Right, so - I'm going to pick up the Pose Guide. While I don't know if PTR is going to continue his part of it, I'm now going to do him a massive disservice by saying this: Of course he is! His FULL AND COMPREHENSIVE guide on animation will be ready soon! :AR! :^o

Anyway - I'll post it here, as soon as I've put it together (needs editing and wording). Should be ready fairly soon - the first part anyway...

Found somewhere (but where?) in the past times, don't know who is the creator.

For the azerty keyboards, you have to use the real letters not the position of the keys (Q is Q, not A)...
