SPRITING DICTIONARY (and resources)

[Kirby98]

I would like to see some tutorial videos please, I use ms paint and graphics gale as my art programs.

you can find videos on youtube of people pixeling. It is in no way a tutorial per se, but they show you all these techniques being executed.

I for one, have made a pixelart video. Be sure to check it.






If you have pixel videos to share, feel free to post it here

Ignoring what a complete waste of server memory this post is;

For any new spriters that are reading this thread; this is not the state of mind you take into doing spriting.

Or any creative activity for that matter. Your own personal flair and creative output won't count for shit unless there's solid technical understanding backing that up. That means knowing the terminology, the tools, the techniques.

If you don't understand something, ask. That's what the board is here for.

for anyone looking to record himself while pixeling, i'd recomend camtasia with the techsmith plug in. a 500x500 video of 30mins with no quality loss saved as a mpeg4 gets around 30/40mb. that, or like in the seconed video you can configure camtasia to take a screenshot every 2 seconds and make a video out of it, wich also drastically cuts the output filesize.

I'd like it very much if someone could put together a tutorial using this for tSR - I want to open up a tutorials page once I get home from New Zealand, so that'd be nifty!

i hardly doubt you can make a tutorial out of this, since this is pretty much a way to understand terms, but not how to apply them. i think it would be better to ask someone else to let us host their tutorial on tsr.

It's more a dictionary - something I think should go under tutorials as "getting started"

[Cobalt Blue]

reworked some of the concepts of the dictionary for a more accurate description.

Should've seen this sooner!

But now must get the realistic view about how is pixel art and spriting is about.

[Gorsalami]

Right now, any "Should've seen this sooner!", "I learned stuff!" and "I wish I could understand this" posts will be warned.

This is a dictionary; you don't need to thank or reduce yourself after reading this. Keep those comments to yourself, as they don't serve for anything and only clogs this place up.

Thanks.

What a very boring and annoying post. If you wanna do something, you've gotta put your back into it. If you don't, you've given up.

On topic. I read everything. The parts of the tutorial that really helped me were the dithering and anti-aliasing. Thanks for the effort of putting all of this together. Everything was very easy to understand.

[modnote: nice work blaming a 7 month old post while still doing the exact same thing you're blaming about it]
