Skinning Programs

[Werewulf]

Want to skin? need a prog? np, here is a list of suitable art programs compatiable in wc3 skinning.
---------------------
MAC-BLP TOOLS
This is the one and ONLY converter for mac, which can converts TGA into BLP and vice versa. Easy drag and drop conversion which permitts you to transform couple of hundreds icons in a few seconds.

MAC-MPQ2K
The MPQ application for the Macintosh. You can add files, extract files and see the content of every MPQ., also for extracting blp.

GIMP
Gimp is a free art/drawing program which has a very useful alphaing layout and ink tools.
apart from its cloggy and confusing windows its okay and a great program for free.
Its also compatible with MAC

Windows Version:
In order to run theGIMP on Windows you first need to install the GTK+ 2 for Windows and then Install theGIMP.

PHOTOSHOP
TRAIL 30days
Photoshop is one of the most popular and used art programs, its brushes and tools are amazing and its alphaing is simple.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jasc/Corel Paint shop Pro
TRAIL 30days
One of the best drawing programs, although lacking the easy alphaing and lackin the amazing amount of brushes this is a must for freehanders.

if you miss psp i suggest you go v8,v9,v10 to save time and money, trail 8 can last for 60days so thus 120total.
(this screenshot is of version 8)

Awesome job again werewulf! You actually taught me that i could use GIMP on a mac! Sweet! although i use photoshop so doesnt help much, cept for alphaing

EDIT: link doesnt work for the mac gimp link!!! (not the wc3sear.ch link)

 

[Werewulf]

i will get the inner dl link, hold on. :3

 

[Morrowind1357]

thanks lol, i nearly had a fatal spasm

PS: isnt it strange how 90% of the time all threads in this section say: Last post by Morrowind1357 ?

 

[Benx_X]

actualy i find they tend to say last post:ben(trs) latly in topics... XD

 

[Morrowind1357]

HEY, dont think i didnt see this!

i have eyes of a hawk

Werewulf, any luck with the link? your on this topic but your not doing anything

 

[Werewulf]

i was in a game of green TD and sorting out a fake ben.
i think that link should be right, the new one..i dont know if it is or isnt since i dont use mac

 

[Morrowind1357]

Thanks werewulf, ill let you know if this application works once its downloaded.
May i also add that BLP Tools and MPQ2K on Wc3sear.ch are great macintosh programs for people who want to skin and are on the Mac OS

 

[Werewulf]

sure, yep ill add them.
anyothers?

 

[Morrowind1357]

nope its sorted now for the macintosh

 

[Benx_X]

with painshop can you keep re-downloading it?

 

[Werewulf]

no, it registers in your system or what ever, even if u reformat, same with psp, but i have a full version of psp8 and its not cracked or anything, just use ares and go full version psp or paintshop 8.

 

[Benx_X]

i downloaded it, and it uses google.com -_-

 

[Morrowind1357]

Im intending to buy it hehehe

 

[Werewulf]
