Creating wallsets

Post by Leslie »

Hi there,


I started learning editing via RTC some days ago, and now I'd like to create my own wallset. Do I have to grab my Windows paint and start painting from scratch, or is there an easy way to create wallsets? I even don't know which and how many pictures I have to create for a complete wallset.
Thanks in advance for your help :)

Getting wallsets right from scratch is a tricky and frustrating experience. I wouldn't use paint, it's not sophisticated enough -- PhotoShop or GIMP are better tools for this sort of thing.

There is a tool called RTCWM (RTC Wall Maker) which does a good job of creating wall sets from flat bitmaps. There's a thread about it in the Editing forum.

Thanks a lot! I downloaded the tool and already created my first basic wallset ;)
