Coloring Icons Using Fuzy Select (Magic Tool) [GIMP 2.6]

Okay, so this will be the second way to do icons , and this method requires much less layers. We will be using the fuzzy select, and if you don't know how to use it, then I hope this helps.

So the fuzzy select (also called the Magic Tool) selects everything that near and related to what you click.

The fuzzy select is found in your toolbox, which automatically comes up when you start GIMP. I'm going to go ahead with this tutorial assuming you have your line art done, if you want to see how I did my line art, you can see the previous blog about the icon process here.

So, make sure you have your fuzzy tool equipped make sure you're on your line art layer (if you used multiple layers for line art, you need to merge them together) and all you have to do is click on the lines. To deselect hit CTRL + A.


So, you can use your fill bucket to fill in areas with a base color and then use the fuzzy select on the single-color selection (Do not worry if the fill bucket leaves little white spaces around the line art, this will be filled in later. (If you still have problems with the white spaces, just make a transparent layer below the line art and color layer and fill in where it needs to be)

So, now that this single bold color is selected, we can only color in side the selected area so you don't have to worry going over the lines. And you can continue this process with other parts of your icon.

How To Make a Hellish Looking Sky Box

I came across this problem while constructing my scene of Hell in a little project I've been working on, and could not find a reasonable sky box on the web for what I want. Maybe I was not looking hard enough, but I ended up making nice substitute. If you think the sky box looks familiar, then your right. The Sky box I'm using is already packaged with Unity3D! To import the sky boxes Unity has made for you, simply go to Assets>Import Package>Skyboxes. The sky boxes will appear in your projects tab under a folder named "Standard Assets". To make this sky box, first you must find the folder containing all the sky box materials and open it up. In it will be a list of sky boxes for your disposal. To get this skybox, I decided to tweak the "StarryNight Skybox" (But the "MoonShine Skybox" looks pretty cool also!). Select the sky box and view it under the inspector tab. Underneath the properties there will be a tint color variable allowin

Making A Laser Pointer

Want a frieking lazer pointer? BOOM. Attach a Line Renderer component to the object you have the script below attached to.

How To Make A Gun Shot Sound (SFX On Unity 3D)

When it comes to audio in Unity, there are four components: Audio Clip , Audio Source , Audio Listener , and Audio Re-verb Zone . Audio Clips are the actual audio file imported into your game. Unity supports file formats: .aif, .wav, .mp3, and .ogg. When imported, you can compress them greatly, with the price of loosing some quality. You can do this by first selecting the audio clip, view it in the inspector. Under the Audio Importer component, you can switch the audio format from Native to the audio clip, to a compressed format applied by Unity. You can change how compressed the file is by dragging the bar at the bottom, then hitting apply. You can get plenty of free good SFX from a site called freesound.org . All you have to do is create an account for free , and download all the sounds you want. I found a nice gun shot sound here . Simply download and load into your Project. Audio Source actually plays the audio clip in your scene. They are an component, so it mu
