Model Viewer Help

[Acutie]

I'm goofing around on a model viewer and I'm gonna try to make a Siggy. Is there anyway to copy the sprite into an editing program? I keep getting an ugly background of like blue or yellow when I try to get it into MS Paint or anything.

press F11. That copies and you can paste it in your desired program.

you can set the background to any color. You can't however have a transparent background.

Yeah I did that, but I'm wondering if there is a way to cut the sprite a bit more effectivly. Paint isn't the best for editing

right click > selcet inverse> copy after u loaded pick in photoshop

yeah... don't think acutie would be having this problem if they had photoshop... I just do select color >> eyedropper >> delete with photoshop, but for paint- it is a tad more difficult. I really don't think there is a way around that problem without a more sophisticated program.

for photoshop:
Select>>>Color Range>>>
Select what color you want to get rid of, in this case the background color.
Set the Fuzziness to 40 and that should just select the background color and not the outter pixels. Hit delete and your set to go.

Ick. I'm gonna have to do this manually I think.
I don't have photoshop

You could use the free program floating around the internet called GIMP. I've never used it and i don't know if it's still free but from what I've seen it can pull off some cool stuff.

Is that a joke or are you serious? lol

/sigh
GNU Image Manipulation Program
www.gimp.org
I'm not joking, it is a real program. Sadly the first time some asked me "What do you use, GIMP?" and didn't realize it was a program and got pissed lol.

 

[Acutie]

This is much better. It'll take awhile to figure how to do what. So far i've found a way to cut out the backround but not the sprite lol

 

[Acutie]

The Fuzzy option is cutting out everything but the part i want to keep lol

 

[Prothall]

lol... select inverse maybe? does it have that?

 

[Acutie]

uh it has Select > Invert. But either I'm not doing it right or it does teh same thing as fuzzy

 

[Acutie]

Eureka! I got it to work. Score one for me.
