Hi,
Anyone knowing how to create good kerb with editor like GIMP, Paint or so?
Cause making them in Snakeditor isn't best in WS 255 Tracks

I make them with Paint. I just choose size (2x2, 3x3...) in pixels, then draw them with pencil or with brush (especially on parts parallel to borders).

And what about turns?

I guess you could use the curved line tool to make the border, fill, then put in the stripes. Or you can just use the same theory for what Paw mentioned above, but just have a guideline of some sort to follow with the brush or pencil, be ready to hit undo and edit the pixels a bit to make it perfect.

With pencil. No exceptions.

With some other software you can extend the selection and fill, to make a one-color kerb, then make the second color. IIRC there was tutorial by Jimmy, but I can't find it.

If you know a little bit GIMP: http://gene-rally.com/viewtopic.php?p=14466#p14466

i do it the same as Paw, a 2x2 pencil, done accurately, takes about 10 minutes to an average track i think.

there was a tutorial on RSC i think, showing a way of doing them in photoshop (i think it had something to do with making corners in photoshop too. i dont know how well that converts to gimp

There's a video of how to do it in photoshop in the Tutorials section.

There is easy way to do it with GIMP.

1. Select track
2. Convert to path
3. Draw path with red, in line style uncheck every second dot, so it goes like this: []_[]_[]_[]_[]_ and so on
4. Draw it again, but with white, and invert the dots (_[]_[]_[]_[]_[])
5. Delete parts of kerbs that go over the track
6. Delete unnecessary kerbs
7. ???
8. PROFIT!

Well, now I got it. but is it also possible to make a path from selection and then strike with c2?
do you understand?

Selfmade, real men dont use tools

Cu Crono

I know,Crono (I also used that quite a long time ago) but this is not very good for WS 255 Tracks

wow i never thoughed that way to make kerbs...
i will become a real man now.

It's my way. All hand-made, without any tools. Maybe you will inspire.

but you didnt build that track?
btw reminds me Norisring

How i've made them over the past couple of years (in PSP);

1 - Select track
2 - Create 2px border around track (for 1px white line and 1px tarmac2 line)
3 - Shift+Click on track to make one selection (so the selection is track + 2px border)
4 - Create 3px/4px border.
5 - Use airbrush tool (size 4 or 5) to create kerbs.
6 - Save

nah i think in paint is better
GIMP had crashed my GR.

Nope. I build that track, and yes, it's Norisring

What the hell??? You just don't know how to use it!!!

@Raphael: that cant be

but it is true.
my GR just started when i deleted GIMP.

Where is your gimp folder then? In GR's car/track folder?

Desktop.

Incidentally, does anyone know of some technique to design kerbs?

I merged your question with an existing thread - hope this helps.
