General Discussion / Re: Pixelation Blog [Opinions needed!]

Me being mostly a lurker lies more in that I don't practice pixel art anymore rather than this board has nothing good to offer in that area, I read the threads to check out what people are doing, what challenges are up, etc. If I had more time on my hands it might be different, but myself I wouldn't say it's something Pixelation is doing wrong, rather that Pix is doing it right, since I'm still a reader even though I'm not practicing the art.

I voted no, I don't comment much on the posts in the forums, but I read all the new posts. The only thing I can come up with that would make it worthwhile going to a "front page blog thing" for would be to find content that doesn't exist in the forums, and, well, why not just post that stuff in the forums instead?

Well, the CSS fix most probably won't look any different in November than it does now, so there wouldn't really be any difference other than supporting some minefield users now, and all firefox users later, with the same actions taken.

I'm 22, I'll check out the book if I can find it. I've been trying before to study anatomy and drawing it, but I believe I could benefit more from it if I knew more "basic techniques", sorta (Guess I'm a bit afraid of starting in the wrong place). So yeah, starting from the bottom and going up. I lurk alot and read all new threads and replies, so I'm familiar with that thread, it's a good one :)
Cool, I'm the same age. I've had the same desire since last summer to really learn the basics, so I've kinda shelved the pixels and been concentrating on my pencils. The Loomis series is really great for that and I enjoy them a lot. If you aren't already checking it out, conceptart.org has a fantastic atmosphere for artists looking to improve. If you want to PM me your email I'll send you some links to art threads and articles I've found interesting. It's got some book recommendations as well.

Long time reader at Conceptart.org, it's an amazing site filled with not only skilled people, but nice people too. If you have time to email me those links that'd be fantastic, I'll send you my email.

I figured it's about time I took a real initiative to improve my drawing skills, and I thought I'd ask here if anyone knows any good resources online or offline. My skills right now aren't completely non-existant, but I don't quite know if there's somewhere preferable I should start. I dunno, general advice always help, so if anyone got any ideas, I'm all ears.

Don't forget Firefox does it too. The only browser that doesn't interpolate now is Opera, but I really don't like it, so I'm screwed.

Still using Firefox 2, but I'm totally wanting the new features FF3 has.

There's a property fix for FF though. Only problem is it's only in later builds because it hasn't made it into a stable/final one yet. I posted on how to get crispy images in the FF bug thread here on pixelation if you don't mind using trunk builds.

General Discussion / Re: Firefox 3 blurring pixel art question
« on: May 19, 2009, 01:34:42 pm »
Hmm, I just assumed Minefield was some sort of build name. I downloaded the zipped version, extracted and ran it. It used my existing firefox bookmarks and information, and it used the userContent.css information just the same as Firefox.

Edit: Did a quick wikipedia, and "Minefield, the branding used for trunk builds of Mozilla Firefox" came up. So I believe it's Firefox, it just can't be branded Firefox until it's stable or final.

Edit: I downloaded Firefox 3.5 beta 4, and it seems this is only in later builds as of now. I assume they'll add it for the final 3.5 build. If someone can confirm which build it works with and where to get it, please post.

Edit 2: I downloaded the latest build from http://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/nightly/latest-trunk/, 3.6a1pre, and with that build the solution mentioned below works. Note however that it's (afaik) not a stable build, and odd behaviour and crashes might occur when using a non stable build.

Well, from what I gathered in that bug report thread, they added a way of disabling it for certain images by using the css attribute image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges;

What to do with it as a website owner/admin:
- Enable the css attribute for images that aren't supposed to be blurred

What to do with it as a user:
- Firefox has a settings file that controls css content, userContent.css, if you add the image-rendering tag in there it will always be off by default, so all images will be rendered without filtering unless a website disables it.

Where can I find userContent.css?
Windows: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<random string>\chrome\
Mac OSX: home\Library\Application Support\Firefox\Profiles\<profilename>\<randomstring>.default\chrome\
Linux: ~/.mozilla/<linux login name>/<random string>.slt/

Find the file, open it up for editing, add this line at the bottom:
Quote
img { image-rendering: -moz-crisp-edges; }

If you haven't edited it before, there's a chance there's only a file called "userContent-example.css" there, if so, open it upp, add the line at the bottom, and resave it as userContent.css
