That's what I come to the forum for. If I don't know the answer then I get curious. Gotta have my fix of graphics for good part of each day or my hands start to shake. LOL.

Here is another link that you may or may not have.

SkyPaint User Manual

Seems you can but as you said it's topless and bottomless (no nudity involved) ... really have to play with the FOV also but can't say for sure. Also found that using the Bryce BMPs and going through Photoshop to SkyPaint, that it makes the proportions more even. I've only just played with the bryce side of it. Maybe someone in the Bryce forum would know for sure.

Works great. Today I tried it with Bryce as well. Actually I created the 6 BMPs in Bryce tried SkyPaint with both Bryce and Photoshop. Bryce needs the FOV (field-of-view) at 112.5 degrees and Photoshop needs the FOV at 90 degrees. You just have to label your views right (_FR.BMP, _LF.BMP, _BK.BMP, _RT.BMP, _UP.BMP and _DN.BMP). With Bryce, you change the camera view, render to disk (for all 6) then open SkyPaint. Open the front view (_FR.BMP) first and it will (or should find the other 5). In Photoshop you have to copy/paste each view. So you have to be more carefull (and know your left from your right LOL). You start by opening SkyPaint and Paint this view. Photoshop opens with a blank image. You then File - Open your 6 BMPS. Copy the _FR.BMP and paste to blank, flaten image, Filter - SkyPaint - Rotate Left, then paste _LT.BMP, flaten image etc. BTW... at any point after pasting image you can edit image with photoshop. When you have done the 4 around go back to front view then Filter- SkyPaint - Tilt Up. Copy _UP.BMP and paste to blank, flatten image. To do the bottom you have to Filter- SkyPaint - Tilt Down (twice). The first time to go from top to front and second to go from front to bottom. Finally you Filter - SkyPaint - Launch SkyPaint and it's all there.

I haven't tried it with Bryce as yet but I have tried it with combo of Photoshop and Zbrush. I do have the links for both Bryce and Photoshop with SkyPaint.

SkyPaint with Photoshop

SkyPaint with Bryce 2 or 3d

Hmmmm. This may be of interest to you. SkyPaint is the worlds first paint tool for creating and editing 3D, seamless, 360 panoramic images. Cut days off your production schedules by painting 360 backdrops instead of modeling and rendering them. Painted backgrounds are common in 2D games and animations; SkyPaint lets you use the same shortcut for 3D games and animations. Using SkyPaint is simple: start with a pre-defined template or an initial backdrop. Use the arrow buttons in the SkyPaint window to look around 'inside' the backdrop; when you see something you want to change, just press the "Paint This View" icon to transfer control to Photoshop (or almost any of the other popular paint programs). After making changes to that part of the backdrop, use plugin commands to transfer the changes to SkyPaint and either save the panorama or continue editing by selecting and changing another part of the backdrop.

If it disappeared from control panel, I would check in following folder:

C:Program FilesCommon FilesAdobeCalibration

If not there then I think a reinstall is in order.

Adobe Photoshop 7.0
Please notify me when Photoshop 7.0 is available for pre-order.

Nope, it's not available yet. I don't seem to see a release date either.

Define Brush will work with a selection or without. It trims it down to the image size. If you want a selection of only part of image, then you need a selection. It doesn't seem to accept a selection larger than image (to include area around image).

With Define Pattern you can make a selection. If you don't make a selection, it will select the whole canvas area.

Just a few:

fur and hair

miscellaneous

stars and textures

Don't forget to append some of the existing brushes in your folder that aren't being shown. Only one set shows as default. You can also make any design any brush you want. Create an image. Edit - Define Brush.

If you happen to have CorelDraw 8, it came with Bitstream Font Navigator. You can view by True Type, PostScript or all formats. You can also view by style: Decorative, Monospaced, Sans Serif, Script, Serif, Symbol or all styles. There is no extra popups to see the actual text (like Adobe Type Manager). The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog is their sample text which can be changed to any text you want. Sample text can be to fit or can specify size. You can select to add fonts or remove fonts (drag and drop). It also scans your drives for all fonts. It shows all the fonts on your computer and shows the fonts that are already installed.

If you happen to be like me, I have the maximum allowable number of fonts or very near maximum. Printing them out would take forever.

I checked on a WinMe machine and it was the first item in the system tools list. It was installed by default.

Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map

If all else fails, here are a couple of Character Map for both Windows and Mac.

html character map

and

pdf character map

The equivalent of Windows Alt-0169 to produce a copyright symbol is Op-G for the Mac.

Can use the Character Map. Start - Programs - Accessories - System Tools - Character Map (Having a shortcut helps). You don't have to remember any of the alt numbers. Once pasted into Photoshop you can change size/font/color etc.
