Title: Need a cool Myrmidon picture for site.
Post by: Noise on May 19, 2003, 08:59:11 pm
I need a really cool Myrmidon picture for my website.  Most of the ones I've seen are lacking some what.  Any help would be much appreciated.;)

Can an admin please move this to the art forum?

Does it have to be JUST a Myrmidon?  It'll be pretty boring if it's JUST a Myrmidon.

IIRC, long ago I made some ModelView screendump art, but the site I uploaded it to hasn't been updated in at least 8 months!

I'll give it a try.

You might have to copy and paste, as it is a crap host.

Particles, Motion Blur and Fog doo-hickeys would be my guess.

No more PNGs!! They're waaaay too big, and you don't need perfect picture quality for this kind of stuff, anyway! :nod:

jpegs are good for most things anyway...

Indeed. :nod: But they also boost a better quality than BMP.

:wtf:

That's like saying that an ADPCM WAV file (or a 320kbps MP3 for you non-purists) has better quality than the Redbook audio CD it was ripped from. Quality-wise, PNG is a lossless format (unless you opt for the 8-bit / 128 color version, which is GIF-like), which means it doesn't have a degraded image quality like JPG does. The only semi-quality related advantage PNG has over BMP is the 8-bit alpha channel, which allows for full and partial transparency. THe fact that most browsers today don't fully support PNG's alpha channel completely is another story.
