Paint is not good enough. There aren't layers!! how do you paint without layers!

Now if something goes without saying, then why do people say it??&&&&http://www.homepages.mcb.net/bones/04fs/MP/9320.jpg

It is possible - by "thinking" in layers! Of course, I'll be the first to admit that layering is the method of choice.

Lmao

Most of it was done in Paint, the blending was done using the Blur tool in Pixia though

The wires on the top of the panel next to the two plates were done using the Free Bezier tool

All in all, as a freeware program, Pixia's pretty good. The only problem I've found with it so far is that it doesn't open 32 Bit textures. You need to convert them by either saving them as 24 Bit in Paint or by using Imagetool.

I have PSP Grin

I just used Pixia for that project to learn how to use the program. There aren't a lot of tutorials out there for Pixia (Especially with regards to creating FS textures), so you need to wade through the program bit by bit on your own.

You see, Startobat is like a connoisseur of fine wines. Just because you have your favorite "Blue Nun", doesn't mean you can't enjoy a good port, and taste a fine white wine.

Only Stratobat (and others, let's be frank about it) enjoy PSP, but dabble in pixia, Gimp! and Paint...

When I did the Hoffstadt Bluffs repaint, as well as my Bell 407 TV news helicopter repaint and my Gazelle repaint I used DXTBmp, Imagetool and PhotoDeluxe Business Edition.

I also used PhotoDeluxe Business Edition to reskin the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
