Free Gimp Plugins

3 Comments

With the help of some free Gimp plugins (Planet Render and Star Scape) I have made the image below. While it might not be as good as the plugins from Flaming Pear, it is still cool that You can make some nice images using free software. 😎

If I would have tried a bit harder, I might have been able to do something that would have looked a bit better. The image below is just to show You what is possible. (The image has also been compressed to a jpeg image so that it will load faster. This compression have added some distortion as well…)

Counters Rendering Machines

2 Comments

I was wondering after making some replacement counters for my copy of Panzer Blitz, have you considered making the rendering machines able to also output 1/2″ counters?

Then one could make new/additional counters for games like Snapshot, Mayday, Astroid, Azhanti High Lightning, and Belter.

I tried making them using the 1″ and 2″ option then reducing them accordingly but the graphics come out too small to be usefully recognizable.

Banning the Internet

2 Comments

Surfing the internet or running a webserver became illegal today in Sweden.

From July 1:st, there are new laws saying that it is illegal to download copyrighted material. This means that it would be illegal for me to surf on the web.

It has also been ruled that collecting IP-addresses is illegal, and since every webserver does that, it is now also illegal to run a webserver.

This makes Sweden a lot worse than China! 😯

Some links about this.

The press release from the Swedish Riksdag:

What should I do? Should I stop surfing the web, and close down The Zhodani Base, or should I become a criminal?

Cheers
