model request

im looking to get a shopping cart so i can put it in an alley

i can probably get the model of the cart done myself but i wouldnt be able to make a texture for it cause i dont have photoshop cs all i have is 7 and it for some reason doesent make alpha masks correctly i cannot make the basket part

so if anyone was able to get me a material that i could use id be most greatful.

the only problem with steam updating things every week is it doesent give the developers an incentive to playtest thier work, so we do it for them

Just grab The Gimp. It's free and powerful enough to do most thing you could want to do.

look through the model textures that came with hl2 and you might find a decent enough wire grill.

i eat paint

The correct answer was: Learn to use Photoshop 7. Dear lord people, you don't need the LATEST version of every piece of software to make quality art. I could almost guarantee you, Valve didn't HAVE Photoshop CS when they made the official art. Don't blaim the tool.

And by the way... Photoshop 5 is more powerful than the latest version of Gimp.

well i read somewhere that photoshop 7 doesent make alpha masks correctly

I'm absolutly sure your wrong about that. I have both Photoshop 5
and the latest Gimp, and The Gimp blows photoshop away. If you
were talking about Photoshop CS, I'd give that one to you...

Go download the gimp and try it for a week. Once you get used to it, I think you're agree with me.

Until Later...

Oh well, I have PS 7, and I trust it more. Plus I got it for free.

This
may be what you're looking for. You'll probably have to do a lot
of things like change the file... i don't know what I'm talking
about. Hope this can help.

That's probably going to be too high poly for an ingame model. Although you could do some renders with it and produce a custom texture (Sorry if that's what you meant french toast).

I don't know what I meant :smile: I'm new to this whole modeling
thing, I saw a model of a cart and this thread popped into mind.
If it can be used, that's great, if it can't, oh well, it's reference.

Dear lord people, you don't need the LATEST version of every piece of software to make quality art.

I use Ulead Morph Editors image editor. v2, (c) 1992-1994 Ulead Systems
Inc. I reckon that software might be older than some of the members on
Snarkpit! But I love it.
