P3DR0 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 Alright, let's feedback people (of this page only, cause I'm too lazy) Hooray Uhm... you know what would be good? If someone happened to get BlazeHedgehog's City Escape Lib and make a stage. But I doubt someone will... [qimg]http://i485.photobucket.com/albums/rr217/LHTheHedgehog/cityescapephoenix.png[/qimg] ONE SEC. WHAT? PS. This is a direct copypasta of the lib. I only made a few changes to fit the Worlds-based Phoenix Engine 2.0. I may be releasing it for some tests, also. Ugh, I remember this .lib... It's horrible... Oh god... That bad-tiled wall without loop, those horrible trees and bushes... Don't LH, don't ruin your game... ...more Alright I think I'm done with it. Thanks all for the help.[qimg]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5170721/DDZPastBGTest1.png[/qimg] Sir, you're awesome... Here, over 9000 internets for you: Don't spend it on candy!

You'd resized up, don't you? 1st Designer Rule: Don't EVER resize something up (unless you're planning to do it bigger and is resizing just for reference).

Are you sure you ever played Sonic Phoenix? You seem like any franchise's fanboy that worry only about graphics. Also, quick news: I will be mixing it with some Pathworks and Hedgehog Reborn's lost features. But only with the ones that don't fuck up the concept of the game. I'm aiming to something more Parkour-ish. http://yoritoshi.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/tropical-trance-boss.pngMostly finished. And THIS is lovely.

TailsSena Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 The cropping isn't good at all. use a tool such as Photoshop or something to get rid of the always horrid to see white line from where it was cut from. Unless Photoshop 7.0 can accomplish this, we're shit out of luck. I've been using MMF2's image editor for EVERYTHING. I did get HWA recently though, does it have better tools for that? I'll start installing PS7 in a bit. btw, if I recall correctly, (which is unlikely), but 7 was the last release before CS1, correct. There was also a 7.1 patch, and I believe we have it, but I don't remember it affecting anything. EDIT: Is P3DR0 good for anything? He told ME something I already knew, but couldn't avoid... And I take it the rest of you aren't the most fond either... P3DR0, please give some real advice next time... How on earth am I going to make a 400x260-ish image 800x520-ish without resizing up?

Dark Raven X Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 TailsSena, just cause you don't wanna hear it, doesn't make it bad advice. Lookit: Here, I took a small image of Sonic and made it 4 times larger. The result, as you can see, is fugly. I then took a higher resolution version of the same image, and made it 4 times smaller. It's not perfect, but it obviously looks much better than sizing up. Now, this is just a quick and dirty example in Paint, using Photoshop you'll have a lot more options when it comes to smoothing rough edges and such. But even at the fundamental level, you shouldn't really be resizing art up - it never looks good. If you absolutely must use that rather than making some original art, you'd be better off finding a hi res image and sizing it down to what you need. All of that official Sonic character art comes at a very high resolution, if you look hard enough. ;D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3DR0 Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 You're so polite, I love you and your jokes. It wasn't a joke. Besides, if you paid attention, that's just a test level shit. I don't intend on improving that in any way.Sorry bro, I'd just said what I'd saw. I find this lib terrible, you're using it That's what I was saying. :3Are you sure you ever played Sonic Phoenix?Yep.You seem like any franchise's fanboy that worry only about graphics.And you seem like any bad developer who's incapable of study Photoshop/Paint/whatever to do good graphics and then starts saying "Hurr graphics isn't everything, you know" everytime that someone says that your work looks ugly (Which does, btw).How on earth am I going to make a 400x260-ish image 800x520-ish without resizing up?You're not. That's the advice, but if you still wanna do it, there are a few ways:1st: Vector the image with Illustrator/Corel. You have to re-drawn eveything since the pixel to vector isn't good at all. 2nd: At the Enlarged version you can hide the low resolution from the resize by adding a blur and/or some effects, like this 10min work that I did on Photoshop: Feel free to use, if you want to.

For the Background cream add a "Inner Glow" For it and use hard light.. choose the darker outline color and it will mask it and make it smoother. as for the foreground cream you can only notice it a bit on the left ear so just get a soft ereaser and zoom in. touch it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know it looks ugly, and that's why I am remaking Sonic Phoenix from scratch. I only used this lib because people started complaining things like "WTF YOU USE SONIC WORLDS' GRAPHICS EVERY TIME YOU SHOW THIS". Also, I DO know how to use Photoshop. But I don't have patience with it. I still make small edits and changes. And I can assume that I improved A LOT since the last time I released a Sonic Phoenix' demo. And this includes coding, too. BTW i love you. MARRY ME Don't make me underestimate you. I'm sure you can do much more than make your comments being so rude. This always fucks up the credibility you have. Think about that, I'm not saying this to prove to someone that you are mean or whatever. But bashing is DEFINITELY not the best way to express what you think.

Dark Raven X Posted September 5, 2011 Report Share Posted September 5, 2011 No nononono, you missed my point entirely. XD Don't enlarge things. Unless you're going the route of P3DR0's example - bathing it in effects filters and blurring the edges, it's gonna look terrible. It's not about what program you use, it's just the simple premise; small into big is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one who say "this shit looks terrible" is more friend of yours than the one saying "this is cool". If my comments sounds rude, it's because you're not used to have your work criticized, no problems then, if you're not wanting to make things look better just be clear and I'll ignore your ugly stuff and just comment when you post pretty things. Simple as that. And even if you are, and still my words sound harsh, sorry mate, that's who I'm. But I'm not "rude" for free, be sure of that.

Why should anyone ever take your opinion seriously if you just sound like you're attacking them? You're out of line. If you didn't like the lib, give your opinion that you didn't like the lib. But that last little comment was completely and totally unnecessary. There is a very clear difference between criticizing and being flat-out insulting. It doesn't make you sound professional, and it damn sure doesn't make anyone think any higher of your opinions just because you're so extreme with them. It just makes you sound like a little prick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
