Hit  "Print Screen" and then go to a graphics program(i think photoshop is best) and hit create new image then hit control-v  then save it as jpg somewhere, upload it, and post it

Post by: Stealth on July 27, 2002, 11:36:45 pm
speak for yourself Knight Templar :D lol

send me the picture (email, AIM, etc.) and i'll upload it and post it here!



i'm not posting my desktop, cause i have a plain, easy-loading one, so as not to take up too much resources, and i only have like half a dozen icons (once again:  system resources, faster boot, etc.)


my background used to have an F-16 taking off in a residential neighborhood :) lol

It's got to be one of the better desktop pics out there, as it leaves space for icons. :D

Knight Templar's desktop:
(http://www.3dap.com/hlp/hosted/stealth/hostedpictures/knighttemplar.jpg)

.......................
i found the picture of mine that i used to use (right now i have the 'clouds' background  lol :D (windows 98)

by the way, it was a Phantom, not a F-16 (or whatever i said it was: )

Go to The Vault (http://www.artofgregmartin.com/vault.html) and enter. The image is "silhouettes", and there are four different sizes (800x600 to 1600x1200 :eek: )

There was... a point in time where, I could have everything in one of those folders in the first column on the left. It worked until about a month ago, stuff started spilling out... now my life is ruined forever.. because my desktop isn't clean.

Sandwich's one reminds me of a render I did ages ago. Except a lot better than what I could do back then... :p

Here's mine, I only recently drew it, and found it to make a good desktop :nod:

IIRC it's a reworked version that mikhael did (I think it was him, but I could be mistaken) of a render someone else did - basically he added the motion blur and cropped it to a widescreen format. :)

I made it 100%, made the nebula in photoshop etc.

If you want the bg, ask me for it.

Lunarcell sucks when you don't know how to use it - but put its price up against LW and I'll let you make the conclusion ;)

However, those nebulas are excellent. How did you go about that effect? Looks like several layered nebulas but if you could provide a more detailed description of how it was done I'd be most greatful.

ICQ! :p  actually quite simple, but complicated enough that I'm too lazy to write it here... walk-throughs are easier imho.
Just added you to my list(gasp!)
