The Dink Network

What is the best program to draw/edit Dink graphics on? Please tell me so I can request it for Christmas.

Blender

Yup , and Blender is free too.
tricky to learn, but Dink/Windemere models will become available.

Thank you, good. Just downloaded that thing.

Cool, but...argh.
Excuse me while I headbutt the wall a few times.

Its not what I did I closed the program when it startet, I thought "Too complicated"

Photoshop.

Maybe. But I will read some of these instructions.

Photoshop costs aroun 600$

Nuts.

Yeah. it is.

If you buy it, yes, it does.

Didn't matter to me. It's great software.

There's a free alternative, the GIMP, but it isn't as good or easy to use.

Exactly what I ment.

Actually...I don't think using this snooty latte-drinking system is as difficult as it looks.
Although it is crashing a lot. I blame crappy/nonexistant graphics card or lack of memory.
But all is good...

definately blender, and photoshop.

PaintShopPro also works quite well, and is quite a bit cheaper. It doesn't have all the same functions as PhotoShop, but it still is a very powerful graphics tool and supports vector graphics, which last I saw, PhotoShop does not.

Whats 3D max like?

3DS Max is more powerful and less ugly than Blender, but still very complicated and has a steep learning curve. It's also very, very expensive.

I find 3ds very comfortable to work with. I would rank Lightwave 3D in second, Maya in third, and Blender in fourth. I don't like Blender's interface.

What about MilkShape 3D? Is that just a piece of junk? O.o

Yeah it is, we are sticking to the most expencive stuff

It's alright for games that are 3d since it has a lot of 3d import/export options. However, it would be a poor choice for making sprites in Dink. I tried it once, and you're far better off using a free program such as Blender or Anim8or for making 3d rendered sprites.

Thanks heaps guys.
I've added my first modified graphics.
I'm so proud!
