I was just wandering which apps do u use to create the characters in your
upcoming game: Pillars of Garendfall.

As a fellow, Blade, I feel obliged to welcome you to the board. Dee or sanehatter should probably answer this question but my guess is that they use photoshop and lightwave along with some other apps.

Thanks for your answer, brother of Blade
I am waiting for confirmation.

I think I remember hearing that the Beenox artists use lightwave for modelling. Photoshop is likely a tool in any professional graphisicist's bag.

In general, you don't really need a whole lot of programs to make graphics with, you need to know how to use a few tools, and use them well. Heck, I only have two third-party plugins for Photoshop. Illustrator is useful for a few things, but with the improvements Adobe has made to Photoshop six, I've found that I've used Illustrator maybe twice in the past three months. Hopefully the beginners out there will realize sooner rather than later that good software cannot compensate for lack of skill and talent on your part.

Doing 3D is not easy, unless you extremely good at visualizing spaces inside your head, and even then you have to deal with your software's interface. Until we have 3D holographic projection monitors and true 3D input devices, there will be no such thing as a transparent interface for a 3D modeller. Animating and texturing are whole other aspects apart from modelling.

Hmm.... you might want to check your caps lock key, my friend. It seems to be broken.

You will need other programs if you want to create new character graphics, new music and sound effects, and other files which are not an actual part of the game engine. If you have no problem with using the supplied graphics/sound libraries, you can make a complete game using just Coldstone. Coldstone can edit all of the actual game data (character statistics, map layouts, and that sort of thing) by itself, but it is not a paint program or music-notation system.

See this one too, for more info
resedit &appleworks; both reputable tools and of course you could hand draw them

no additional money is necessary, just imagination and inenuity, why?
Cuz' I ain't spendin' no moné for no dogone paint program. Besides my handdrawn art looks better anyway(I use a 'stylusandtablet' deal).
