I made a 1024 by 1024 24 bit .TGA and improved the taurvis pixelated textures.


The old:






The New:









This is a 3 mb (unzipped) map so its really high def.

i might try to make it a little optimized.

Heh, add a little more detail to them! That's an order!

[Krackers87]

[Nico]

sorry, but to me they look the same ( blurry as hell ).

uhm kinda.

Try to get rid of those blurred edges, make clear sharp forms
(shivan-like)

Add details, details, details. And of course you need to do a new glow map since if you don't, the blurred thingy will be placed on top of the nice new map

-edit-
just had a look at the .zip
resizing the pic and coloring the right parts red is a good start, but doesn't really make full use of the possibilities. You should add some sharp details (like some scratches, like little hull panels, etc) and get a better overall texture (the metal stuff).

A three meg map, for a bomber? I think that's a little much.

I didn't say make them bigger. I mean like what Lightspeed said... Bigger is a start, because it was ridiculously small, but it needs more...  stuff.

[Krackers87]

resized to 556 x 556 pixels so its only 1 mb unzipped now

should improve speed

[Krackers87]

sharpened it more and reuploaded it

EDit: added B & C levels an re uploaded

You can use JPG's as well you know.
Textures should use the following sizes only:

16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048 etc, etc

556 x 556 will turn into 1024x1024 which will likely run a lot slower than if you made it a few pixels less 512x512

[Krackers87]

resized to 512 x 512 and added 5 reskins using photoshop effects.
One of the better ones:

A little to much red to black... what I'd love to see is the entire Shivan fleet reskinned with a more black/red style than its current grey/red.

What Thunder said. Absolutely.

With lots of details.

I actualy prefer the grey to the black, dark grey, and I like em to be real shiny

and open up the Nephelem texture in the lowwer right hand corner is a good suply of evil red shivanyness

tga = inefficient

I'm tempted to ask for source.


However, I agree with  Kaz on this one.

[LtNarol]

TGA is overboard, and jpg compression kills color contrast on details, is there no good midway compromise?  PNG perhaps?

[Bobboau]

this is what it should look like
