I'm so glad your little peeps are enjoying the food! I tried to work on some Asian meals today and for the first time I couldn't concentrate because thinking about the menu had me just dieing to go cook. lol

A bump map basically has the effect of adding a textured look to a surface. They can be used for all sorts of things. I was just thinking that it would give the wall a bit of a textured appearance without changing the overall color of it. I can't really tell you how to use a bump map unless you're using GIMP. lol Lyssa and Lewanda are great help with the other programs though. I don't even know which program Moonlyght uses. hehe

Actually Miss Kathy, the only thing that is too bright is the wall, and it can be fixed very easily by lowering the hue a bit. I love all the colors you have in the rug and beds. All in all I think you did an awesome job on it.

Hi!

I use Adobe Photoshop Portable. It's really nice 'cause it's light to load.

LOL you didn't change it? I could've sworn I saw a different rug.. lots more solid colors and brighter. In any case, I still wouldn't change it the way it looks, I love everything about it. It's such a playful room and it'll definitely give a strong contrast to the other rooms depending on the mods used.

I have Photoshop 6.0 Although I have a Mac, I run it on a Windows Partition. However, I've noticed my computer getting really hot after only 1 hour of working on the mods so shut down so it can cool off.

BayouBlonde, I downloaded Gimp about 2 weeks ago and... wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! I guess I just need to take the time and figure out how to use it. I don't even know how to create a new layer but I did paint some pretty pillows when practicing. Gimp's gradient tool works differently from my Photoshops gradient tool.


Lewanda: Your mods are AWESOME!

Lyssaria: Thank you for the fountain light. I'm glad you said that it would work with all fountain mods because I plan on modding tomorrow and will be adding BayouBlonde's new fountain to my map. By the way, I'd read your thoughts when you were first contemplating opening the gate... then the next day I saw you had actually done it! Cracked me up!!! Is there anything you can't do? You go girl!!!

MissKathy

I am so excited for you to get your kids room done! I am going to start a whole new game just so that I can have it! So, get it done really super fast!!! lol *kidding* I just wanted to give you a little pep talk.

Thanks Kathy! Getting the light on the fountain took 15+ tries which involves opening and closing the game >_< It distracted me from my poor golden retriever mod, but I'm about to submit that now.

I love the colors on those pillows! they also look so shiny and silky, I just want to pounce them

I'll work on it for you this weekend At least straightening up the alignments.

Thank you Lyssaria, I have no idea how I did it! LOL! It was my first attempt at using Gimp.

Miss Kathy, I just posted a little tut for littlewindbird on how to get your maps perfectly straight.
