Use of Picture-to-Powder converters

    I just wanted to know if we are allowed to use Picture-to-Powder converters to make maps for Nationwides. There's this one map from a book that I really like, but my TPT art skills suck. Would it be okay to use a P-TPT converter to make it as long as I don't claim it is an art save?

    No, CGI is not allowed in TPT. It's unfair to everyone else who doesn't have a converter (since your save would look much better for much less effort). Also it would still be art ... it doesn't matter how you "claim" it.

    Alright. Could I use a CGI program to make a vauge border for a scale refrence, and then make the map manually around it?

    I recommend you just make the save yourself, CGI is against the rules ...

    Ok, I'll delete the refrence save I made.

     

    Do you know anyone good at making maps?

    In my opinion, C.G.I. should be allowed! It just should be removed from the front page! That way, if people are not making the map for art, they can make it for a nationwide, or even something else easier!

    No. I don't think CGI should be allowed. It's unfair and etc. JoJoBond made this save before it was against the rules. This save is now grandfathered.

    I was not talking about using it to make art! I was talking about if someone needed something for a project like a nationwide! It is unfair to use C.G.I for art projects and take credit for making it!

    A nation-wide is still art, and it will definitely be so as long as you use CGI-TPT converters. If you've ever seen JoJobonds 'Eve' and 'Wally' you'd know they're just every element squashed together based on colour to produce the image, giving you a world of chaos when you unpause it.

    That is of course, unless I'm unaware of a CGI-TPT converter that uses the deco layer. Then all you would really have to do is use the deco layer as a reference guide for the nationwides then remove it.
