[WIP] Team Avalanche's Graphical Overhaul

[Satoh]

I think it's a tad (just a tad) to cartoony looking, Or maybe it's just to white? haha

Either way. looks great! No wait to apply AA to it though? (sorry i'm a freak about AA and AF XD)

Anti-aliasing and... Apz-Freak? XD

what is AF?

Anisotropic Filtering, It's a type of texture filtering

Little Java tool so show you what it does http://www.nhancer.com/help/AFSamples.htm

Wiki page too if you want it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisotropic_filtering

Doesn't really do anything in FF7 though (other then the VERY few textured objects/APZ's models Milenia's weapons)

Not sure what i can do about the drop shadow. Its not even shown on the texture. Might be the engine just adding something transparent. Ill look around though

Anti-alias

Hard


Ok I smoothed and darkened the hand a bit so it isn't screaming like Billy Mays anymore

 

[Hellbringer616]

Second one is perfect i think.

Really loving the AA'd version :-D

 

[sl1982]

No anti-aliasing allowed. Causes Graphical glitches

 

[Hellbringer616]

Damn...

those finger-pointers look awesome! kinda Mario-like (but its MEE! MARIO!!) lol

 

[Satoh]

They're exact copies of the original shape just FYI... (smoother, but the same dimensions)

i know, i was just saying how good they really are. nice job 

 

[Hellbringer616]

The hard version of the second shots will serve as the new cursor then?

 

[obesebear]

That second pointer should be perfect. 

As for portraits, it's a simple drag and drop to get custom avatars into the game..

After converting them to tex format.

Reminds me, I need to find the original sources for Kula_wande's avatar mod. So i can make them 24bit instead of the 8 they are

 

[sl1982]

Wow that pen tool is really easy to use once u figure it out

 

[Timu Sumisu]

Here's a wip of cloud's avatar, two diff color schemes (one drawn from original, other a bit less so)

You guys like the style of this? If so, I can do it with a fair bit more detail (it'll b a bit nicer, n less tooney looking)

 

[sl1982]

Todays agenda:   Get the countdown timer looking good

 

[Timu Sumisu]

oh god yes

 

[Hellbringer616]

I can test the timer! haha, since i'm right there  

Timu: Your avatars seem a bit to toony and to little detail. maybe add some shading? Or do you plan to and thats just a preliminary mockup?

 

[sl1982]

I dont think i quite have a decent enough grasp on those vector graphics. Have to do it the old fashioned way

 

[Timu Sumisu]

Here is a little more detail, I may start frm scratch again, i'm not that pleased with this
