antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Well I guess if you want to find some weird conversations... just read through this topic! :P You'll find more than you ever wanted I think. Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Well ya!!! There's more than a year of my BS here. >w< ((Hey that rhymed!)) Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Well this is the OTB. We were, and still are, all being random. Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Oooo, I went back to page 500 and caught a bit of a conversation about a contest I held a year ago. This contest was a Super Bowl guessing game. The prize was the valentines day card sent on Valentines day, therfore gaining the sidebar. I thought it was a fun contest. The rules are here. http://www.tdnforums.com/index.php?showtopic=2835 Zac won last year. If anyone has a Card and they don't know who to send it to then this is an excellent choice, especially with all the new members. ^^ Quote
Loc Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Hey AA, this is probably a stupid question but, how do you delete a white background with GIMP, I need a step-by-step explanation. Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Hey AA, this is probably a stupid question but, how do you delete a white background with GIMP, I need a step-by-step explanation. A render job? Wow, I had to do that earlier with a picture of a girl with her hair flowing in the air. I'm only glad she was infront of a white background, still took me forever... Quote
Loc Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I know it's frustrating isn't it, I am not so smart either, so that makes it harder. Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 There should be a window on the left side of the screen with a whole bunch of tools on it. One of the tools should be labelled as 'Select by Colour'. Use that tool to select the white background, then hit delete. Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 I found the easiest way to extract hair is to first cut the girl, then deal with the hair with contrast settings and junk. I wound up making this. What you guys think? Quote

antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 @Levy: That's a pretty good image! @Loc: Are you sure you selected the white background? Quote
Loc Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Yes, do you need to hold down the mouse or something? Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Nope - you click 'Select by Colour', then click on the white background in the image, and it should select the white parts of the image for you. Then you press delete to get rid of them. Quote
Loc Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Is there anything I need to check off on the side? Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Not really - just make sure 'feather edges' is unchecked. Quote
Fable Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Would anyone like a fresh non-poisonous cookie for free? >:-) Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Poison cookie jokes? That's so old... (seven words) Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 That's correct. DOOM Corp. no longer poisons its cookies - that would totally defeat the purpose of the mind control. By the way, if anybody wants to read a great piece of writing, just follow this link. Quote
smumpkins Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Theo, is that a continuation off that story you sent me way back when? Something to do with magic and being in a swamp. I liked it. :yes: Quote
antiaircraft Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 It's a passage from the general story, yes. It's written by one of my two co-authors on that story (who I think is a significantly better writer than me). Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Hey guys, tell me if I did a good job at rendering this girl... Hair is always hard to render Quote
Loc Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 I guess I don't know what render is, but it looks good. Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 A render is a term used in graphic design, basically an image with the background cut out but saved in the PNG format, saving the high quality of an image and its cut out. In other words, if you saw this image in a website with a black background you would not see any white. ((Well maybe a gray outline around her, that's unavoidable for me as of now.)) Quote
Ruto Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 To be honest with you? The hair on the left looks stiff. Says the daughter of a photographer. Looks good though. Quote
Guest Levy Posted January 17, 2008 Posted January 17, 2008 Eh, what ever. It doesn't matter, she didn't like the sig I made her anyway. I made it in the colors she wanted at first, then when she posted her opinion of it she changed the colors she wanted. <_< Someone else's problem now. I hate rendering. Quote
