Alright YOu convincd me i will Slichtly Change the Color and all and adjsut some Brightness and darkness on some Spots

Also ehre is the new Logo of the mod

nice

There is a tga in the cis side folder called sbdroid_a.tga, its much darker, and if you sharpen it it appears worn, but you have to paste the default droids light onto it, as there is none.

To maxloef - Ill send you a CIS side that has droid skins you should find reasonable. It covers every class, and also has the Geonosis version for all (excluding the sbd and droideka - i wanted to throw a filter on them to make em look dusty but im a medeocre skinner so it looked lousy). You will find remnants of this, as well as the Geonosian, which i put in with it too.

ill get some screens up in a second. Ill also show you my republic side

Sure go ahead post it here and on our forums.

How are you guys getting higher resolution and larger pictures?

Are you scaling the image larger, and then sharpening it, and then resizing it to the original size and saving it?

only resizing to 1024x1024 sharpening and then nothing more.

.... does that really do anything I guess if you have a really good sharpening program that doesn't just blur it a lot. I would look into doing new bump maps, that would added depth.

Actually, as I just tested this because I was unaware that resizing it first makes a difference, it does infact.

You can notice a less tacky looking (if you sharpen it too much you start to see individual pixel colors or strands of random color), as in it can take more sharpening, and upon resizing it, it looks much cleaner than otherwise.

That may not make any sense at all. Sorry.

But you leave the image size at double, correct (after sharpening)?

I have just done this to my Imperials in my third Rise of the Empire map.

It is munging...I hope it works without error.

BTW- Do I do the same to "bump" images?

- Majin Revan

I resized it back to default. But tell me how double looks im curious.

For bump images, I just opened them up and sharpened them a few times, putting emphasis on the ridges and knobs. But I agree someone should make some true high-res skins/bumpmaps. Does this game support normal mapping?

I made them double size...it worked very well, but lagged the game a bit.

- Majin Revan

yeah. I wouldnt do that. Id just resize to like 1280 (thats what I just did) then sharpen em up, then resize back to 512. they look fine, and no sense having lag. Also sharpening props such as venators and spires on geonosis can add nice touch. Next on my list is weapons.

Offtopic- Max, do you need to talk to me on MSN? just curious
If there is anything you need for me to help you with, I'd be honored.
