Cruel and Alternative uses for Blade Pro


You know, sometimes you just have to approach a tool from a different direction...

 

  1. Take one image, convert it to grayscale
  2. Save the image as a BMP format file in the Blade Pro folder "Environments and Textures"
    We are going to use this grayscale as a texture in BP to create a different view of this image.
  3. Create a new image and fill it with a single plain colour (not black or white at this stage).
  4. Now fire up Blade Pro
  5. Click on the BMP texture button and load the image you have just saved above.
  6. You now may need to just experiment till you hit something.

    Try hitting the random button a few times and see what comes up

    You will often need to:
    (a) adjust the scaling of the BMP texture,
    (b) increase or decrease to the extremes the texture slider,
    (c) reduce the button radius right down.
