on: July 29, 2007, 05:10:05 pm
Hi I'm Synthajoy  ;D;

But I also have a very big problem.
I neet Tutorials Worshops or every other help on drawing Logos for the C64. I mean this kind of Logos which are used in intros, crcktros and Demos on this machine.
Did you know how to do this on PC Programs like Timanthes, Photoshop, Gimp or so on ...??? ??? ???
This logos should later on be converted to C64 Images and used on this machine !
Especially the fill methods used in these Logos are very importeant for me to reach the same effects !
I tried it but with no Tuts or some help I'm lost  :'( :'( :'( :blind:

There is no surefire way of making a logo, as goes for most other things.

A good way for you to start is going to

http://noname.c64.org/csdb/search/advanced.php

Check Release(s)

Then scroll down to Release Specific Criteria and enter logo as name and select C64 Graphics from Release Type

Scroll down and click Perform Search, durr.

Now you can look at TONS of C64 logos from back in the 80s up to today. Study those and then try to do your own.

You also need to get familiar with the graphics modes of the C64, but I will let you use your brain (google) to find out about those. Timanthes is helpful here as well.
There are no ugly colours, only ugly combinations of colours.

i dont think there are any.  besides why would you want one, a C64 logo is the same as any other piece of pixel-art, except the restrictions.

Many many thanx to u all ! ;D

@Feron
Yeah I know, what I try to find or to know is how to draw with this restrictions Pixel 2:1 and so on ???.
For example when I use a special Font in Timanthes or in ProMotion how to fill it or blur the Texture correctly (resolution and so on). I mean the tecnical aspect how to use Timanthes an especially ProMotion in the right way(color restrictions, Pixel 2:1... ???) not how to create f.e. shaded spheres in C64 gfx.
I hope i could explain what i mean cllearly   ;).
Simply i think i could say which are the correct settings of ProMotion and Timanthes ???
BTW are there Plugins or Filters like in Photoshop which i can use for filling purposes etc... ???

regards
