Im beginning to think Shrapnel could split the Illwinter forum as it has with other games. Game questions vs game development? Something like that? Are we working with GIMP? Most discussion could probably apply to any high-end paint program I guess. Should I move it to another forum? The problem there is that Id end up doing alot of discussion about the end result Im headed for.
For those who dont know
GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program) is a fancy paint program that most programmers get into at some point. Its
FREE and works on most systems (Windows, Linux, MAC OS-X, OS/2, Solaris, *BSD, HP-UX, IRIX). The drawbacks are that its not the kind of paint program that you
use its the type of paint program that you
learn. Also worth mentioning is that most of the conversation about GIMP including downloading, installing, directory structures and such, is spoken in UNIX (which is rather like an offshoot of klingon) so its rather hard to follow for those who only speak Windows or Mac.
