What do you guys use for making characters and items and stuff? Do you use Poser?

but uhmm, seriously, lots of people are using poser'ish type stuff to make stuff, and you can even buy 3d models here and there. if you cant go the 3d route because of expense-knowledge etc then you can try maybe the final fantasy route if it fits your game with very small 2d characters then have side shots with more detail when they get sucked into combat or you can go overhead and only have to draw people top down. basically if you cant do it one way or dont have the time money etc then you can explore other ways and kinda reconfigure/build your game that way. stuff like items and what not can be made in photoshop pretty easily as character portraits etc.

heres some sample links to schtuff ive made game wise that might help you if you have the apps. so far from what ive seen, characters and thier animations are the hardest thing to get a hold of or a wide variety of especially if you dont want to use coldstones graphics.

I use appleworks.
I don't need a high end (read Expensive) graphics ability. Most of my stuff is brought in via camera, loaded into appleworks and converted to .tiff. ( I resize and edit what I need then save it) I use graphic convertor to change the type to what works with coldstone(.png and .pct) and remove the white space.
It saves lots of money and the results have been great so far. (but that's my opinion, and as my wife reminds me often "you can only have an opinion when I say so!" he he he hmmm)

Man around town (yeah right! he he)

I use dampeoples. Sometimes he's a poser, but normally he does pretty good work.

I would LOVE to have poser to make the character graphics but unless ur fortunate, or have a better exuse to buy it than "but i NEED it to make my characters" u most likly wont have it. I am fortunate in that i have photoshop tho. So i use that in everything other than characters. I any ony would like to donate me a cough cough legal copy of poser, i would apresiate it and might donate a "legal" copy of photoshop back.

It's amazing. Piracy requires exactly zero brains. How do you manage to spell these programs when you search for them on Limewire?

A big-game hunter went on safari with his wife and mother-in- law. One evening, while still deep in the jungle, the Mrs. awoke to find her mother gone. Rushing to her husband, she insisted on them both trying to find her mother. The hunter picked up his rifle, took a swig of whiskey, and started to look for her. In a clearing not far from the camp, they came upon a chilling sight: the mother-in-law was backed up against a thick, impenetrable bush, and a large male lion stood facing her. The wife cried, "What are we going to do?" "Nothing," said the hunter husband. "The lion got himself into this mess, let him get himself out of it."

One question then maybe we can stop hyjacking this thread, what did that have to do with anything DJ?

it is simply a way to end arguing and break things up a bit with a laugh. making a joke to ease the tension i believe. its done countless times a day across the world in many and any situations.

It's gone a little too far to drag back on topic, I'm afraid. As such, iLock.
