How to create graphics

Posted by MiloBones on 11/18/01 - 00:21:48

Does anyone know a program(like paint shop pro) which allows you to create graphics without having to draw them out by hand.

Oh yeah and I want it to be free, dang nabit.

Blender is a free 3D graphics/animation program. I used it and PSP for SOB's graphics

You might want to add a website link for Blender, Simon. :)

Another 3D editor is Milkshape, although it's used primarily for editing models for 3D games. They now charge $20 to register after 30 days, but if you're computer savy enough, it's always free ;)

BTW, you'll still want PSP if you use this program.

Wow, this Blender thing looks much better for Dink Graphics than Milkshape, which as I stated earlier is not that great if you want to turn them into sprites. Milkshape took about 5 minutes to learn, while this thing has obscene amount of buttons and menus. Anyway, I would also like to thank you for posting this website, this stuff could be real useful to me in future projects.

You're welcome

And yes, Blender is not something you can learn in a day or so. I'm still learning and I've been messing with it for almost 18-20 months or so. But you can do some amazing stuff with it. :p
