Manabomb, if you have the Cataclysm beta installed the WoW Model Viewer will automatically ask you to select the beta folder.

Most of you could just go to deviantart and look up Photoshop tutorials since it seems it's all the people in a lot of this thread do :/ The dude with an obsession with Cthulhu seems to have a clue at least I saw the screenshot of the Dwarf with the drop shadow and said to myself "Please god, don't say use the drop shadow layer effect". Gaussian blur is pro.

This post is pointless. Don't read it.

Words of advice for the people with similar sigs above... since they are gifs, you might want to put a matte (color:#EBEAD1, same color as the background on these forums) on the art to get rid of that horrible pixelation in the transparent areas.

Cthulu:

Thanks for the great tutorial. Can you explain briefly why you use both the exported PNG and the BMP images from model viewer?

Can you somehow preserve the "glow" effects from weapons and gear this way? I'm still having that problem with one of my Mage models that uses a red/pink glow on the shoulders.

You answered your own question... that's why I do the .png and .bmp.

I thought that was the case, but PNG is extracting my glow effects from the image...

I'll keep playing with it. Might need to just select a different armor set...

Send me the two images and I'll see what I can do with them.

Tutorial 1:Now open your two images in Photoshop, make sure that on your .bmp image that you double-click your Layer0 thumbnail and make sure it isn't locked.

So mister Old One. When will you do mine? @8D

Be patient young grasshopper...

Atleast he isn't working on yours and you don't know when he'll finish. :P

@Ftagn
Very nice tutorial.

[Lia-Elune]

Updated my request so that it included links. Excited to see what you do with my request.

[Manabomb]

Manabomb, if you have the Cataclysm beta installed the WoW Model Viewer will automatically ask you to select the beta folder.

I dont have the beta installed, that's sort of what I meant by where do I get the beta models, but let me rephrase it because it does sound confusing X.X Where would one find a download or installer for the cata beta?

http://www.wowarmory.com/character-s...aggus&cn=Shael ((Resto Shaman))

2. A CLEAR screenshot of your toons(s) face (no helmets) if no armory or different than armory.

http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...uid/Daetur.png
http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b3...id/Caitala.png (Feel free to picture as light blue druid bear.)

3. The gear / items (a list please) you'd like equipped on your toon(s). (whether you'd like the helmet shown or not). As shown on armory is fine. No helms for all, no cloaks for Jokaras, Caitala, Shael. Daetur shows her cloak.

4. Desktop resolution (1024x768, 1280x800, 1680x1024, etc. etc.) 1366x768

5. Companions, Pets, Enemys, Mounts that you'd like in the wallpaper.
Daetur (hunter) has "Fenrir," one of the Hellfire Ramparts Armored Worg models, I would love to have him included if possible.
Perhaps some of the "The Damned" undead models, or other ICC undead, coming in from the edges if that's feasible.


6. Two areas that you'd like for background (main portion of wallpaper) and foreground (where toon will be standing).
Icecrown Citadel for both, I leave the artistic direction in your capable hands.

7. Quotes you'd like (example: "For the Horde!") Wallpaper only. "No question remains unanswered. No doubts linger. You are Azeroth's greatest champions! You overcame every challenge I laid before you. My mightiest servants have fallen before your relentless onslaught, your unbridled fury..."

10. Vanilla WoW, Burning Crusade, WoTLK, or Cataclysm style.
For sig and avatar, Cataclysm, please and thanks.
Wallpaper, WotLK.

11. Anything else you'd like in the picture.
For the wallpaper, I'd really love to have my 4 main characters standing together 'united' against the scourge onlslaught, with undead encroaching on the edges as they take a battle stance against them in the center.

12. Things you'd like listed or not: (yes/no)
a. Realm name (Yes)
b. Player Name (Yes)
c. Title (Yes)
d. Guild (Yes)

13. Signature options
a. Font Color- I leave it in your capable hands. Whatever you feel looks best. A warm color with the Cata scheme?
b. Player name.
c. Title, Realm, or Guild. All three if room, if not, Title and Guild, if only one, Guild.
d. No helm.

Thank you very much for your consideration, and for lending your talents to those of us without an ounce of artistic or computer savvy! Really hope to be hearing from you whenever you have time.
