What door?
This is a website, you dolt. -_-
Im am merely stating the fact that GIMP is very simple to use and that a tutorial is pointless if you can easily figure it out yourself.

That doesnt make it any harder. GIMP is the same on Mac OS and Windows.
Not only that, but this tutorial was made on a WINDOWS computer, if you hadnt noticed.

If you take a picture of the render, the lighting/coloration might be off. That's not saying it is a bad idea, and I have done it before. But there is a perfectly good way to get a great angle in game. First, go to a single player server in either the Construct, Greenscreen (or Slate Green) or Bluescreen maps. Then build a tower that is about 10 bricks high out of 1x1's. Put a platform on top. Set all of these to no rendering. Go into F8. Find a good angle (Easy to do now). Take picture. Cut out green/blue/white, replace with trans, merge with the icon.png. Save. Put in .zip. Test. ???. Profit.

Not if you do it correctly and actually perform a final render of the model.

Using the admin orb is not as easy as rotating your view with the modeling program, because you have a LOT more control over the camera movement in Blender, Milkshape, SketchUp, etc than you do in-game.
