Project Resolution Enhancement

[whitemagehealu]

Draconis is a Spout Top Donator, so they worked it into the Spout plugin itself for his username.

If Herocraft ever allows HD skins to players for microtransactions or whatnot, I may start doing 1x enhancements for free, and give away a full series (up to 4x enhancement) as a reward for things. PvP tourneys and such. (Although, that assumes I can actually make the high-res ones look any good, haha.

Oh I see you can donate $50 dollars for an HD skin.

@Alator What do you think so far?

Looking neat so far! One thing to try to remember is when you are blending shades, look for any edges that appear to be too 'hard' or 'sharp'. You can make gradients by either changing the color, or using the really helpful lighten/darken tool!

Yeah Ive completely changed it since I posted

 

[Alator]

Hahaha

I think this should just be the final product.

Well Draconis has an HD skin so there has to be a server plugin for this already installed. oO

That's different. Spout are using Draconis to test out something new they're working on that isn't out yet.

Bleh Alator this is taking so much time. ADHD is distracting me.

 

[Alator]

The 2x enhancement is finished! Tell me what you think

That looks awesome, only if we could have them in HC, only if!

 

[Alator]

Started poking around at the next step up, but it's getting tricky and pushing the limits of my graphic design capability, haha. We'll see how far I get before I get frustrated and stop

Nice job on the skin Alator.

To Everyone: It isn't that hard to make an HD skin, it just takes a lot of patience. I've been working on one myself, on and off(Whenever I'm bored), for about a month now. What I use though for my editing is a program called Paint.net which I use in conjunction with MCSkin3D so I can see how the skin is coming along. Having an decent image editing program helps in the process as long as you have the correct skin format. It also helps to save copies of the skin while you're putting it together.

So many mistakes I've made... so many mistakes..

I had a bit of a breakthrough with part of the design for the full 1024x512 skin, however I am still roadblocked by my inability to make the robe look like draping cloth. I may have to just leave it flat for now, but it won't look as good.

Tempted to try my hand at this, I've become so attached to Victor from my time here at HC haha

 

[arcanegrove]

Sooooo, i accadently did my skin backwards.... Any 1 know who to make it un-backwards?

 

[Alator]

What do you mean, 'backwards?' post up the skin file and I'll take a look at it.

 

[arcanegrove]

For some reason, it did it backward. Not finished but eh.

 

[Alator]

Ah, I see. You were drawing on the 3d model, I assume? You have to be careful when starting that way that you don't have the model turned around

 

[arcanegrove]

Yeh, i realized that once i found the camera reset button... Any way to flip it?
