let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
hello guys, i have a quastion: when you are makeing textures or going to make one... are you immediatly working in the final size of the texture or do you make for example a 1024x1024 texture that would be finaly a 512x512 texture. i mean for all the detail stuff going on in there... but i figur the it is also alot of… -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
Depends on the game I am working on, but right now I work at 4 times the final resolution, so I work at 1024x512 and scale down to 512x256, then sharpen the texture 100% and the difference between the scaled down version is not noticeable at all in game. It depends on the art I think, last year on SSX3 we painted all the… -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
It depends what I'm doing it for. If it a texture of a reasonable size, then I'll work true res. If its for a hand held, its easier to work double and then resize. painting directly on to a 128*128 texture is just too small for me. The resulting blur can actually work to your advantage if you're doing certain things.… -

work huge, and then reduce and hand compress. But then I hate painting textures anyway... Scott -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
I always texture at the actual resolution. The end result is more predictable that way (like poop says in his tutorial) and I'm too lazy to work at a double resolution anyway. -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
I work at the maximum res. Usually at 1024, sometimes a little bigger (2000x2000). Scaling down is all good because even if some details disappear, the impression of that detail is still conveyed well enough, except in extreme cases, ie 1024 > 128 -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
I go at least double the final res. In part because some of my work may be used on more than one platform or specs and upscaling is much harder than downscaling. Sometimes you have to sharpen up an edge or two when you downscale it but most of the time I design with that in mind and its very minimal. It also makes… -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
Usually final but currently I'm working on something without finalized specs so I go with the largest size I could imagine it to use and will shrink it down once the specs are set. -
Re: let's talk about sextures... i mean textures =)
i usually work in the final resolution. More predictable and more control over how the final piece looks like. I don't like shrinking my art down, and sharpen is evil. I pet poop btw. -
