Humongous Compiling of All Your GFX Needs (HCAYGFXN)

Latest update: August 24th, 2009 (10:31 P.M. [-5 GMT])

My present from me to you guys, like I promised! It's not even complete, but I thought I'd go ahead and get this much out here. I'm sorry with the lack of advanced tutorials in both the GIMP and Photoshop sections, they're very difficult to find. I will definitely be cleaning this up very soon, I'm sorry for the clutter. Anyhoo, I spent most of my non-academic hours on this, so please enjoy it.

I want to point out that almost (90%+) any Photoshop tutorial can be used for GIMP (and vice versa). I have included both a Photoshop and GIMP sections for the sake of convenience, however.

** Double asterisks mean that the links enclosed within these boundaries go
together.

Please PM me for the following reasons:

Invalid link.
Tutorial, tutorials, tutorials. If you have a suggestion, show it to me through PM, and I'll decide whether it's worthy of being in the list.
Misleading tutorial.
Grammar fixation (typos, spelling mistakes, etc.)
Difficulty of tutorial suggestion (perhaps I put a beginner's tut in the intermediate section, shoot me a PM and we can discuss it).

Thanks, Ryan. Very greatly appreciated. I'll add them right now.

M@gicM@rk · 01-22-2008, 10:17 PM

Did you pay Hadouken the PR to use that C4D tut? (the first one)
He's still selling it on PR, you know.

OTHERWISE, that's a hell of a list, man. Nice job.

I found it in the "Free Tutorial" section. No worries.

And thanks, Mark.

M@gicM@rk · 01-22-2008, 10:21 PM

Oh, okay. I was thinking of this one.
http://planetrenders.net/forums/inde...owtopic=105323

I just realized that the above link leads to a VIDEO tut he's selling. XD

Sneaux125 · 01-22-2008, 10:27 PM

Nice. This is awesome.

Also, you can add in my GIMP tut too if you'd like. I posted a thread for it awhile ago, but I can't post the link for it since I'm on my PS3 right now

ssbb_lover · 01-22-2008, 10:33 PM

Thanks for contributing, Sneaux. I placed it in the Intermediate section.

Foxy · 01-24-2008, 11:41 AM

Nice work.

But I must say, Closes site, there is a hilarious misspelling.

"For
Close
---------------
S T R E N G H T"

ssbb_lover · 01-24-2008, 12:29 PM

^^ Haha, agreed. :P Also, thanks to the mods for stickying this, much appreciated.

Lmao, look again, there is another misspelling by the SAME user, 'Traped'

Byuakuya · 01-25-2008, 04:31 AM

I knew this "gift" would be just as good as you made it out to be Tyler. This is a dream come true for any member of the GFX section. I thank you for your time and your effort.

ssbb_lover · 01-25-2008, 06:18 AM

Sure, Pras. I appreciate the thoughtfulness.

Sneaux125 · 01-30-2008, 03:18 PM

Also, I was wondering if I could have permission to link this thread on another forum I belong to? If I could, that would be awesome, because this thread is EXTREMELY helpful! =D

So get back to me on this, thanks

ssbb_lover · 01-30-2008, 07:56 PM

Thanks for contributing, Sneaux. And of course you can link this to another forum, no problem. ^.^ Of course, you have to pay that $10 fee per month, but...haha, kidding. This is for helping anyone and everyone, not just people on Wiichat.

I'm glad you think it's helpful.

ssbb_lover · 01-30-2008, 08:15 PM

Updated.

Sneaux125 · 01-30-2008, 08:37 PM

Thanks man! I'm sure loads of people will learn from it!

ssbb_lover · 01-30-2008, 08:50 PM

Welcome.

On another note, don't think I'm being bias against the GIMP section, I just haven't gotten around to cleaning it up like I did the Photoshop section.

I'll get it on it soon.

Bliss · 02-01-2008, 01:25 PM
