Hey don't leave!Don'y misunderstand me, i've used your brushes, not all was big but i'm a dummie i dont know how to small them..

You're using gimp right? I'll upload a picture for reference :]


I love the dress by the way!

@AnnitaSims: Just in reply to you from your response to my post. I have no idea how you have been using photoshop 6 for so long or for even one day without ever being able to change the brush size, it almost seems an impossibility, however, the [ key decreases the size, and the ] key increases it. Also, you can increase and decrease the brush size in the brush palette. Cheers.

Who told you i had too?Photoshop it's own has many brushes in many sizes and they help me enough so yes, i've been using it since september and i am very good at it now.I don't need to rezize brushes as there is a big variety.If you think that is a loss of time to inform an ''impossible'' person like me, thanks to god creator feedback has many other threads for you to help.

Thank you very much nintendolover but as you can see i'm using photoshop and i'm satisfied with the way i do.

And i'm informing you that the [ or ] key does nothing with your brushes, only photoshop's original brushes will increase or decrease that way! :P

Um...wow, I did not say you were an impossible person. I said it's seemed an impossibility to use photoshop without being able to resize brushes. I've been using photoshop in many versions for over 7 years and was trying to help you with making the stars for your dresses. Somehow I regret having even attempted to do so considering your reply.

I will not bother you again in this thread or any other thread. Good luck with your current and future projects.

Ok that's right, you've been using photoshop for many wears and i saw it for first time 1 year before.It's logical to know fewer things but i'm not bothered your help is precious for me and i kinda like your brushes.So i'll try to resize them and when i'll finish the dress i'll post it there.I hope you'll see it too.(:

Tommorow stardress will be ready!(or tommorow of tommorow)I just need some time to make it even more perfect!

Remember Stardress?it's high time it got updated..i was thinking that it's not right to abandon my good projects so i put it in my long list again.:-D
Ok i have problem with the strass in the top of the dress.They have to be more clear?That is torturing me and
though i've tried everything i don't know what to do.I used the star brushes but i don't know if mods consider this a ''good texture''.Any help...?

It's looking better, but, you're right, the texture on the top seems blurry. Another thing, those corset laces need more definition. Try defining their edges, to make them look more 3D.

What are...the laces?Do you mean the strings in the back top of the dress?i've never though about them..What if i bamp mapped them?

Yes, I meant those strings on the back of the dress. I think bump mapping would help. But their texture lacks some definition itself, they look very flat. Also, you could add little holes to make it look more realistic, like this. I know it's a minor thing, but it would add a lot to the overall quality of the dress.

No, it's not minor at all, a dress has to be as much as perfect to be a real good piece in all the dresses that exist!!!Thank you!The link doesn't work...:-(

I'm glad you think that way And the link works fine for me...hm. Here's another one then. It looks really nice, it has little hooks instead of holes, something like that would look lovely on your dress.

Oh my, that's...difficult..Of course i can alpha edit it but i have to find a very good image like that..

You could also try beveling/embossing the straps like I did in the attached photo.

Wow how did you do it?I have no idea on how i can do this...:-S
Well, my basic problem is the strass that are blurry but and i need to replace them with a such texture that will be giving shine..

Make your straps in photoshop on a transparent background



Right click on the strap layer and choose the Blend Options



Check the Bevel and Emboss section and set your settings as shown in the photo



You can also add the holes for the straps to go through using your round paint brush on a separate layer. I used white, then click on the eraser tool and use a round brush, reduce the size to be smaller than your white circles and erase the center. Bevel and emboss this layer also. This is the result I got.

EDIT: The straps hole layer should be below the straps layer for the effect of the straps going into the holes.



HOPE THIS HELPS!

It helps but i can't understand am i going to copy the laces from the dress and then paste in the trasparent background?Or am i going to make them myself in the background and then paste to the dress?

I think what he is suggesting is:

make a new transparent layer in your project. either cut/paste the original straps into this layer or draw new ones using the pencil or the paintbrush. (at this point, I would make the other layers invisible so they don't get in your way.)

once you have the straps, follow JMC's directions on how to emboss them.

when you are all done, make your other layers visible again. make sure you select the layer for the straps, then use the move tool and line the straps up with where they should be on the full dress.

then make another new transparent layer and follow JMC's suggestions on how to make the holes.

Oh the laces are not shown in my texture bmp they are overcolored only in the alpha they are shown..

? if you recolored them in the bmp, that is where you edit them.

never mind ok i will re-extract the previous texture and ''steal'' the laces.Then i will make all these.
