Today I am going to make a step-by-step tutorial on making a game icon (simulator style)
→ Set up:
1.Roblox studio
2.Blender (Optional)
3.Photopea (Free online photoshop)
4.Adobe Photoshop (Optional)
–>Roblox studio
P.S. I usually use Blender to make game icon but I want to keep it simple in this tutorial,so I use Roblox studio instead.
- Create a new game (baseplate suggested) and make a green screen
e.g.
2)Disable “Global shadows” and set ambient to “193, 193, 193” (suggested)
e.g.
3)Load your character using load character plugin (by AlreadyPro)
4)Pose your dummy for your icon
(Tip: Using rotation and move tool is easier than using animation editor)
Remove the name of the dummy.
Result:
5)Take a screenshot
–>Photopea
You can use photoshop instead but I don’t have enough money to buy it 
-
Create new project in photopea and choose “Youtube Profile” template
Background change to “transparent” -
“Open & Place” the screenshot in “File”
-
Scale the screenshot properly
9)Click “select” and choose “magic cut”
(sometimes it may not work properly, then you need to choose the selected area manually)
-
Add a square cover up the whole image
-
Move the shape below the screenshot
12)Search sun ray online
If you couldn’t find one with real transparent background,pick a sun ray image with white background and follow step (9).
-
Right click the layer,and press blending option
-
Click color overlay and choose the color of the ray image and click “Ok”.
-
Don’t forget to lower the opacity
-
Adjust the layout a little bit and add more detail (if you want)
Add outline = click blending option and stroke
Add text = click the letter “T” on left hand side
- Done!
This tutorial took me an hour to make it,hope you like it!
