Using Your Own Tiles.

Post by Ahsen » Thu May 11, 2006 8:04 pm

Hi,
First of all, bare with me 'cause I'm just a beginner in terms of trackmaking, I've made only one track as of now, but I have drawn great sketches of really nice tracks and I would like to realise my ideas in Turbo Sliders editor as well.
So what do I want to do? Here's what I had in my mind, I've asked people and they say that what I want to do is possible. So here's what I thought:
So first of all I draw a sketch of the track on a normal paper using a normal pen. Then I scan this sketch, and get the picture of it on my PC. With that I go to Photoshop, I edit it so it looks nice and smooth. Next I had in mind that I would use this picture as a reference background in the Turbo Sliders editor. I've been told it's possible, using tiles. Now I browsed around different sites, trying to search for a proper guide on creating new tiles and using them in the editor. I went to Hengari's page and Jazzyclub's, but [no offense] I couldn't understand. Now, could anyone provide me with an in-depth guide on how to do this? 'Cause I'd really like to get working on my ideas and brining my ideas to life. Using that kind of a picture [or tile] as a reference would make things a lot easier. So, please, if you can, help me out. I'm sure that once I go through the process using a detailed guide I can memorise what I have to do and then become a better trackmaker. Thanks for your help and looking forward to your cooperation :)

oooh another one who wants to learn :) well i know there are a few people who want to learn how to make tiles - i guess i can make a tutorial video on how to do this. Im going to make a poll on another topic, and see if it is worth making.

As for scanning paper/pen for a track. Yes it is possible of course, but you are going to need some time to make an accurate pattern file for it.
