Hello there, I'm new to GIMP and it looks like a fab program, once you have mastered all the intricacies, which I havn't yet. My questions will likely need a long answer, so if I could be pointed to any relevant links pertaining to my questions, it would be greatly appreciated
I work with .DDS files (I think they are single layer) to paint cars for a game, and would like to know if the following can be done with GIMP
Can a vehicles bumpers be "painted" with a chrome/shiney/reflective finish?
I see there are Hex/HTML color codes for flat colors. Can a "metallic finish" look be achieved?
If I wanted to paint a 2 tone car, say the roof/pillars as one color and the rest of the body another color (vinyl roof?), I tried using the bucket fill, but it keeps painting the whole car one color. Can you insert some sort of line on the body, so when you use the bucket fill it only fills a new color up to that line?
Sorry if these are simplistically asked questions
Thanks Chris
