You mean cameos? The build icon, right? If so, Paint Sho Pro will do you just fine.

You can use Paint Shop Pro, PhotoShop and an array of other tools. But next time, you need to define what you mean by picture.

how do i add the picture?

[Doctor Destiny 41]

That's not very helpful. What do you mean by "picture"?

I think he means how to insert the Cameo in to the game/tibed. I know XCC Mixer can do some of that but I'm not very experienced with that, maybe Stinger or Koen knows about that.

infantry in the "battle screen" you need SHP images... using the SHP editor... for units, naval, aerial, and land, us voxel... as for the icon on the side where you "make" your unit... you make camoes... i think that is it... someone prove me wrong... i still don't know what is the difference between voxel and shp and where exactly they are used for... all i did was look at the downloadable voxels and shp and see what they represent (infantry, etc.)... someone explain more about voxels and shp.

Here alleylee....

 

SHPs are usually used as infantry and structures. They allow more freedom and flexibility in terms of detail because you tell the game when and how to display certain frames. Animations are also made in SHP format, as are MOST, not all, projectiles.

 

You can also make SHP vehicles; the Terror Drone is a good example of this. The Terror Drone would have made a crappy voxel due to the numerous HVA problems that would have been associated with its walking and jumping. The TD works better as an SHP because of its inherent jump attack.

 

Voxels on the other hand cannot be told how to animate with the files. This is where the HVA comes in. The HVA stores ALL animation data for that specific voxel. HVAs also include turret alignments and alignments of other parts as well.

 

Voxels are used for turrets, aircraft, vehicles and naval units. Voxels are much easier to make but still very difficult to make them look great and have proper normals.

[Doctor Destiny 41]

No, I'm far from that. I take my cues from DeeZire and other greats as well.

 

I'm just learned and I understand how everything functions.
