Thumper1518 62 Posted September 23, 2003 Share Posted September 23, 2003 Below is how I make my kit icons from the weapons I made in Max: The way I do it is to take the weapon view in 3dsMax that faces the weapon to the left. Under rendering/environment, set the background to solid white, and under global lighting, set the ambient and tint to solid black. When you render the scene, it will be a black silohette(sp?) against a white background. I save the render as a .jpg, then edit it in Photoshop, trimming the canvas size as close to the weapon as I can to get the 3:1 ratio used by the kit icons. I then reverse the image to make it a white silouette on black. I then re-size the image to 54x18 pixels, and you know the rest. Hope this helps. BTW, kit icons always seem to have a little "fuzz" around the edges, from their reduction in size. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
