Kill White
Kill White is a Photoshop Filter that actively removes white from an image (unlike the ‘Multiply’ blend mode), perfectly leaving the rest of the image, whether the image is black-and-white or color.
However, this is not simple masking. Pixels that are partly transparent are altered so as to only remove the white portion. Shadows and gradients will remain in the image, only white is removed.
I made this Filter with my good friend Yael Martiz.

Generic Photoshop Installer 1.0
After all my scripting projects I decided an actual installer would be great to have, instead of one off creations. So I made a generic installer that can handle just about any type of file you want to install into Photoshop. Including: brushes, Scripts, Filters, Actions, and many more. This installer does error checking on every file and folder regardless how many, and produces a log file. (you may need to extract the zip first to produce a log file) Read the rest of this post »

Flying Flash Game

Weighted Rope.
It doesn’t do damage but limits your dragon’s ability to turn quickly. It will also reduce dash attack for its duration. To release the effects it should be timmer base/ amount of wiggling. Struggling can shake it off. Read the rest of this post »

Combining Normal Maps
I recently realized that long time game professionals still use the Overlay mode transfer to combine normal maps. This is not accurate and results in image degradation.
Let me show you.
In this test I will compair overlay mode transfer to an action file made by Rod Green. I combined two normal maps with both methods. They look very similar, it is hard to visually tell the difference. Luckily there is another method to measure accuracy.
