KNOW YOUR BUGS Online Tyranid Painter V0.7c

[initiatezao]

VERSION 0.8A
Added Carnifex, Lictor and an unseen tyranid from the new codex named Minoza.


Wanted to get as many opinions as possible to improve this small tool already posted at Tyranid Hive and DakkaDakka. Click the link down at the bottom to see how your Tyranid paint scheme ideas might look in the online virtual tyranid painter. Good for upcoming Tyranid Codex.

Please post any thoughts or suggestions.

For whatever reason it doesn't include zeros if they are first numbers in the hex coding, so if you have a code that is less than 6 numbers they should be zeros up to 6.

ex. DARK GREEN is 006A15 but it displays as 6A15 so just know that the hex numbers need to be 6 numbers long.

Peace Tomas

Might do this for other armies if the interest is high enough. After figuring out the actionscript and coding it should be easy to try this on other races.

nice job

Wow...seriously....this is cool. I usually use DOW 1 + Uberpainter SS mod to test color schemes and stuff but you can only apply color to six areas. If you had something like this for IG i would love you forever.

Thoughts...
1. Preset color choices from Citadel/Reaper Master Series paints would be a nice touch
2. Some sort of save/upload feature to resume work.
3. Did I mention an IG painter would be awesome ^_^
4. Maybe reverse the claw/claw highlight sections.

Very cool, stylized models. Love it.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I radically redesigned the interface and am working on integrating the preset colors into the thing so just click instead of cross reference numbers. And I have had a few other people ask about IG, once I get Nids done I would like to try the other ones. And will probably change the claw/highlight thing around. After you mentioned it I noticed it is kinda backwards.

And save upload feature is a long way out, just getting back into Flash actionscripting from a year or so back from school. This has been fun though.

Thought it was better than just having a "this isnt done yet." You can enter anything and it plays out.

It was preliminary stage of trying to figure out how to have stored color profiles, you could enter your code and bring up any stored schemes you had. Thats a long way out though.

this is a good little painter mate, nice 1, its a lot quicker than the SM painter on Bolter and Chainsaw, and i'm thinking about a nid army next, so its definately handy to quickly come up with a paintscheme
