I've decided to try my hand at aircraft repaints. I have no problem making a bezier curve but I can't figure out how to taper the lines at the end. I've included a couple pics to illustrate what I'm trying to do. This isn't the repaint I'm actually doing, but just an example. I need to make my gold lines wide at the tail and taper narrower at the nose.Thanks,Adamhttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/179046.jpghttp://forums.avsim.net/user_files/179047.jpg

You could either do 2 separate bezier curves and paint the middle. This will take a little practice and patience.ORI forget if PSP has the ability to work using vector graphics. If so you could make the bezier curve as a path and just fiddle about with the nodes to make the end wider.

Yes mate, get yourself a solid copy of Photoshop CS3 (or any version) and just use the pentool to tapper and widen..In PSP? I can't tell you how to do it... but there must be a similar tool..

Thanks guys for the advice. PSP does have vector graphic ability. I'll try that out. I did manage to make a point to point line narrow, just have to work it out with the curve. I'm also going to look into Photoshop as an editing tool.Again, thanks,Adam

I'v just uploaded a pentool video tutorial (CS3) : http://www.mcphatstudios.com/tutorials/tutorials.htmlOne problem : It is in Dutch, but if you fastforward to 2m50s (the first part is an explanation on the different modi of the pentool) you should be able to 'follow' the tutorial just fine. At least to get an idea of how it works in CS3...(and maybe it works the same in PSP).Good luck.

An excellent tutorial Zacherius.As stated before ,PSP also has the tools to do this.Just a small suggestion, try to make the volume for the sound increase. ( in the next tutorial)The voice-over is very weak and there is a huge amount of amplifier-noise.Leen

My mic is hanging loose from the socket since I stepped on it (that's what you get if you don't clean up your stuff), so I think that is the noise you hear..But thanks for the tip Leen!

Thanks for the video. I watched it and it was helpful. Unfortunately I don't have CS3. I will look into picking it up.Adam

I watched it as well, and it seems like the dude knows his stuff. I just think it would be handier in English, cause now I still have to guess a lot of what he is doing.

I'm sorry, maybe I'll do an English voice over in the near future...:)
