Holy crap! There's so many awesome portrait avatars! I'm lovin' them, people.Wow, just wonderful!
'Decided to give a go at it, so here we go...
cool, maybe I give it a try in the future when I understand my AtariSo, I take it you are interested in coding as well (besides pixelling, I mean)..
And ofcourse when I have a better understanding of the demoscene in general!Just watch demos/slideshows/musicdisks/demomags until your head blows
I have an old Atari 800XE, so can I do demoscene on this if I want too?
And it's all done by code?What do you mean? Code is just one of the key elements
Okay, I kinda understand. I'm like, half way there now. lolDemoscene is hard to explain in few words. It's about art all around: pixelling, coding, music making, etc. I guess that the quickest way to learn about it is looking at a demo... if you want, have a look at the video of the demo called "Arte" (heh), which sports wonderful pixelwork, awesome tunes, great code and lots of stuff in just a double-density floppy disk being chewed by an Amiga 500
Actually, this is the right forum. Normal members cannot open new threads in the Challenges and Activities forum, and this is not really a challenge or activityOh, well... I'm just... dazzled
I think the main problem that these sprites are suffering from is being outlined. Since they are only 8 pixels wide, 3 pixels for outlines on the legs is nearly half the width of the spriteThat's true. I can't remember what I had in mind back then - heh, it's 11 years ago, after all
- but probably I did not even consider outlineless sprites because I've always liked outlines, because of contrast reasons and because probably I was too influenced by those tiny sprites in The Amazing Spider-Man Looking alright.. perhaps a less saturated greenAgreed.
and maybe not black outlines, but if you're going for that, Work it.Yeah, outlines are probably one of the aspects that should be improved. A complete removal would be OK as well. I have no preference, indeed.
This reminds me a lot of the "challenge" another member tried to set up where we would all compete in making the best website layout for him/her.I understand your suspicion, but I can assure you I'm not trying to get others to do the job for me
Challenges here are to improve our skills, not to make a better picture for you. If you want help with your sprite, make a general critique topic on it, get some suggestions and try to fix it yourself.
Has it something to do with the fact that after actually creating a new thread I gave up by going back to some past page? I have cleared the caches, but still the "new topic" button does not appear??? Sorry...]).
.. And if there was a duplicate color that could appear the same as another color or darker, depending on what raster effect was active where? That would allow you to define 'where the shadow would fall if it was dark enough' and make it visible on a particular range of scanlines. It would mean the scrolling would need to be vertical to do a proper transition, but it's certainly possible.Uhm... could you elaborate, please? I'm not sure I get what you mean.
The question was how it was displayed, though -- which could easily be different from how it was emulated. Probably whatever was simple and good enough looking was done in both the case of AGA-emulation and non-AGA.True, what should be checked is the actual output of the HW. Though I don't have the equipment to do it (not even an OCS/ESC machine, indeed) nor any specific technical documentation, so the best I can come up with is assuming that AGA compatibility was as close to the original output as possible.
