True creativity is characterized by a succession of acts each dependent on the one before and suggesting the one after.

So you really like the three paint color systems that were made popular by Foundry and Reaper but you have a color that isn't available through either of those lines? Not a problem. Color Match 1.0's Color Shades tool will take a single color and generate several different shades of the color. The interface is very similar to the familiar interface used in Color Match 1.0 with the addition of two additional controls in the Configuration section. These two controls allow you to control the amount of change between shades as well as the number of shades that are returned.

In addition to this update, there have been several additions to the paint database, as well as a split in the databases properties that will allow you to even more precisely narrow in on what paints you want. The new options allow you to sort for a specific type of paint; like craft paints, enamels, acrylic model paints or aerosols. Previously this information was restricted or located within the finish category.

We have also added an RSS news feed which will allow you to keep track of minor updates that aren't necessarily news worthy, but may be of interest to users. This information includes minor upgrades to features as well as when new paints are added to the database.

Plastic Pots

Stop by a green house or the lawn and garden section of a local chain store and look at their plastic pots.  Depending on what scale and genre you deal with there are lots of different uses for them.  They come in hundreds of sizes and shapes and are normally pretty cheap.  Some even have a useful texture molded into them.

The seed starting trays make good industrial complexes for smaller scale sci-fi games.  The larger pots work well for towers and what not throughout various periods.  You can also use the smaller seed trays for making tank traps for more modern conflicts.
