Best Gun EVER!!!! Tutorial
Here is a tut on how to make the most realistic gun you could ever imagine.

Step 1: To start off you will need to download a picture of a gun (obviously). The gun can be any kind, because there is no tracing involved.

Step 2: Press Ctrl+A (select all) or highlight everything in the picture with the selection tool. DO NOT scale down the picture. If the gun doesn't fit in the Stage, simply zoom out.

Step 3: with the picture selected, click Modify, Bitmap, and Trace Bitmap. When the pop-up comes up, simply press OK. Don’t screw with the numbers or options unless you know what you're doing.

Step 4: The gun should now have a more cartoony touch. Click on all surroundings of the gun and delete them one by one. Inside the trigger guard as well. When you think you're finished, press Ctrl+A once again to spot marks or shadows you might have missed, and delete them.

Step 5: Highlight the entire gun, and either group it (Ctrl+G), or convert the entire thing to a symbol.

Step 6: NOW you can scale it down, and watch your creation shine in glory.


You're Welcome!

If you don’t know how to import an image, here's your extra tut.

For Windows 2000-XP: Go to a search engine, click Images, and save the image to your computer. Make sure you save it to My Pictures. Go to Flash, click File, Import, Import To Stage, and then go to My Pictures, click on your gun, and that’s it!

No, for the love of God, NO!


Trace bitmap=huge mistake. I would strongly advise you to draw or trace your own guns instead of being image reliant.

Draw your own.

Don't TRACE your own, DRAW your own.

As said, for the love of buddha!

WTF dude?

draw your own guns fewl.

right im pretty ure that illegal in the art off cartooning..or something like that?

good but not that good

Best gun ever? I hardly think so.

Really, if you trace your guns yourself you'll get much better results.

Tracing is good, but trace bitmaping is just horrible.

Drawing is good, but tracing is ghey.

If you can't draw guns, don't resort to tracing.

This is tracing bitmaps, were the computer does it for you.

Most good artists are able to draw guns better than another person could trace one from an image. If i could be arsed I would draw you some...

The best worst looking gun ever maybe...
