Hi-Def Sprite thread (first post updated! 1/9)

that vista is killing you:wtf:

dude that sucksssssssss

sorry to hear that man

Man it made my hardware stop detecting my hard drive disks. I couldn’t repair it so I had to format it with XP!!! Like wtf! I have to install XP to get Vista to even see the damn hard drive, that took me a long time too because XP wouldn’t see it either until I changed 50 cords… Turns out it was the power that caused it but still it wouldn’t boot with vista on there.

It’s all the same dude. Shit happens.

Oh and for those who think that’s bad enough… Guess who just got the RROD…

It was bound to happen, I know personally as well. Ship it off and hope you get a better made 360. Also your Rugal is awesome just like the rest of your sprite work. Keep on trucking.

I had this baby since 05 launch… lol

To be honest I feel that all companies do this porposely. Whenever you buy something like a console or mp3 player, it seems as if they only build the product to live past the warrenty. Come on it makes sense no? If you wanna make money you have to make sure that customers don’t have a choice.

God… Why do people request CVS sprites… They suck! They are really thin they are roughly 12 colors max,(compaired to the 63 that SF3 sprites) and because of that it’s very hard to make fingers with the same original image.

hey, hey! i like cvs sprites, lol.

If anyone wants to take this request, it’d be greatly appreciated.

I’ll post this now considering it’s going to take a while… Still wip but getting there.

got a question for you guys, since im (clearly) not a pixel artist

how hard is it to make a sprite, like a real sprite not a “picture”, of something that has no sprite to begin with?

for example lets say i want a sprite of rufus in SF4

Depends on scale. It’s not that hard really. Could always do a “sprite edit”. Hmm chang would be a cood starter lol.

well if it’s rufus you would need screen captures and then take it into photoshop, shrink it down, put a layer on top of it and start tracing it with pixels. i think this is how they did kof12. they did all the bare-minimum animations in 3d and then traced over it with pixels

Ummm no… The easiest would be CG pictures resized, cleaned up. Like how they did the original sprites for most games. If they did in fact do that it would be very strange…

Oh and Dmino, this is a HD sprite tread not a custom sprite thread lol. Most people do their own sprites out of love for their character.

i know that, but if i wanted an answer to my question wouldnt it be best to ask in a place where there are already some sprite artists?

im not asking for someone to make me a sprite (i dont play rufus), i was just interested in the process.

Don’t worry about it, he’s been acting like he owns this thread since he started posting here, lol

DAMN RIGHT I DO!!! Nah just kidding.

It’s just that I tend to not let people walk on me or others… I’ve had people do that to me for a long time so I tend to speak out regardless of if people want me to.

I’ll do a Rufus sprite for you if you want? But I won’t post it here. Give me some time and I’ll pm you the link if you want?

lol im seriously not asking for a sprite, i was just wondering how one would go about doing it since i dont know much about pixel art and the whole sprite process.

“the more you know” and all that

thanks for the offer though.

I don’t know if either of you are right, since afaik the sprite creation process for KoF12 wasn’t publicized. However, I believe it’s more likely that they took their base art (be it 3D animations, live action recordings or whatever) and used line tools (curves etc.) to create clean sprites. Cleaning up something that isn’t a sprite (like a scanned in sketch or picture) into a sprite IMHO takes longer and is more labor intensive than using line tools to “trace” it. I believe that for the same reason why you wouldn’t use a pencil tool to trace something to line art, because if you want perfect single pixel width lines, not using line tools is making your life harder for no reason/gain at all.

They said they made 3D models and then hand colored them.

Cammy’s victory pose for SSF2THDREMIX

I did not actually create this Cammy sprite from scratch. I actually just did a vector trace sprite of it using UDON’S original sprite and made different coloured outfits for it. Enjoy :slight_smile: The second outfit is for her alpha 3 colours ^^
