Subject: 2D Free Stuff?

Hey, how about a section in the free stuff for 2D resources. With all of the 2D artists and the 3D artists who use 2D for post work, I think there would be a base of users. It would give everyone a place to share stuff such as brushes, tubes, nozzles, backgrounds, actions, etc. Just an idea. Angela

I think that's a fine idea. What subsections should we create?


CharlieBrown ( ) posted Wed, 18 April 2001 at 9:46 AM

Three subsections (IMO): Filters Photoshop Actions Brushes/Tubes/Nozzles Backgrounds could be a separate category entirely - most backgrounds can be used equally well in 2D or 3D apps. Or they can be posted to the galleries or forae for download there just as easily.

I don't know, I think a section for backgrounds and/or textures would be nice. Then, if someone wanted to look for one, they wouldn't have to sift through tons of gallery images or forum threads to find them.


CharlieBrown ( ) posted Wed, 18 April 2001 at 3:13 PM

Hmm. Maybe Backgrounds and Textures should have their own category, subdivided (possibly) by what program they are intended for?


rcook ( ) posted Wed, 18 April 2001 at 9:53 PM

Thanks for the feedback. Sorry we can't easily handle everything, but hopefully what we've created will help.

Wonderful! Could a couple sub-categories be added yet? Like "Original Clip Art" and the ever-popular "Miscellaneous" ? Ooh...and how about "PSP Tubes"? :) Varian

Thanks. Done.

Really wonderful; thanks so much! I'll get something in there soonishly, but first I need to create all new thumbnails. Would it be possible to set up the free stuff thumbnails to accept the size of the image the way it's done in the galleries? My thumbs are around 140 or 150, and they look pretty awful when stretched out to 200. :/

Excellent suggestion, Angela. I'm in for Painter nozzles and Photoshop plugins. Cheers, Kees

Sorry Varian. Since we don't host the thumbnails, and still have to maintain some sembalence of a page layout, we have to set certain rules for the thumbs. Since we can't determine the actual resolution unless the files are uploaded to us, we've just decided to enforce a standard size. We know that creates some inconveniences, but it's the best solution we currently have.


Varian ( ) posted Thu, 19 April 2001 at 11:56 PM

Ahh okay. Thanks for the answer. :)

Oh Goodie Goodie. Thanks rcook. As soon as I get the rest of my boxes unpacked (hopefully before next year, man I hate moving.) I will dig out my disks and up some stuff. Thanks again. Always great service here ;)

You can have KPT presets as a catergory.. I would think a lot of people have this one..

"KPT Presets" added.


Varian ( ) posted Tue, 24 April 2001 at 12:59 PM

Coolness! Now Russell, since you need something to do (heh!), I realized something. I'd asked for a subcategory of "PSP Tubes", and Charlie had already requested one for "Brushes/Tubes/Nozzles". Well, technically, "PSP Tubes" would fall under the other, so now there are two categories for tube files, and it could get confusing. So here's another suggestion. Can you take "Brushes/Tubes/Nozzles" and make it just "Brushes" or better yet: "Brushes/Masks"? "PSP Tubes" could be changed to "Tubes/Nozzles/Sprays" and that would group all those similar items. We will just have to be mindful when up/down-loading that we're dealing with many different programs. :)


rcook ( ) posted Tue, 24 April 2001 at 4:14 PM

Yep. Very good points. Changed.


Varian ( ) posted Tue, 24 April 2001 at 9:43 PM

Thanks very much! :)
