How are these pics done?

A transition from textures to wireframe.
Like in MJ's logo.

Hmm.. you could take a screenshot of the solid piece, take a screenshot of the wireframe piece, open up Photoshop and have each screenshot on a different layer... than fade/blend the layers at the desired point. I'm not sure if that's how they do it, but that is how i would do it.

ya I thought of that but thought there might be a easier way.

I cheated slightly...

Took two screens from same place blah blah, and made the showtris one into a pattern for the brush (like a paintable on texture... put it in the patterns folder id psp8 files, i did) And just applied it as if it were... red paint

And it kinda worked....

interesting way of doing it.. very creative.. but hey, it got the job done!

How do you get a wireframe view?
I couldn't find a showtris option.
I saw show patches as wireframe....and render quality/wireframe???

r_showtris 2, but ya have to enable cheats

In the game not in radiant radiant doesn't like cheaters

Thx, I'll give it a try.

I can do this technique in a few seconds with photoshop,

I would use a layer mask, it kinda works the same as a targa alpha channel, have both images on seperate layers, then add a layer mask to the top layer, then fill the mask with a black to white gradient, it would blend the layers perfectly.

You can find the add layer mask button at the bottom of your layers palette, a circle inside a rectangle, or just hover over the buttons for a pop out description.

im sure its a very similar process for paintshop.

edit: to paint your gradient on the mask you will see in your layers pallete the layer you want to edit, theres a thumbnail on the left and on the right will be a white or black rectangle, you need to click this rectangle to activate the mask, then paint your gradient on it.

I emailed the guy who made those pics and he said he did it alot like Cheetos said he did. He said he used a blend tool at the transition point or was it a fade tool... anyway Ive got a good idea how to do it now.

thx ya'll
