Скачать или смотреть VCMI Overlay for .png sprites

This video shows how I make overlay for VCMI using GIMP with plugins, H3deftool and Def Preview. Hope this help new modders.

This method can be used to make shadows. Just use all frames, colorify to black and set layers opacity to 50% in Filter all layers. At the end save with -shadows.

H3deftool and Def Preview can be found in Modders' Tool Pack that can be installed through VCMI launcher as a mod
