yeah using BMP conserves natural "shinyness" pngs and jpegs i think screw up how the game interprets the shine and overlays the whole texture in some crazy shine.

sry for asking agin Chronos, but are u using Topaz for sharpening the image or, are u using it for some kind of effect?.

Chronos the Defiler · Jul 31, 2007, 07:12 PM // 19:12

Hey chronos, after you did my armor i kinda went into a frenzy and picked up on the topaz vivacity plugin for myself, and lets just say, running armors without them, just doesn't compare.

btw, i've been working on adding some pics to textures (kind of like how you've been tribaling stuff) what are you using to add tribal markings to your armor, are you drawing out and coloring the arcs by hand (or mouse rather) or are you using pre-existing pictures to do it?

That is monk FoW right? not a big fan :/

@ Joe: it is 1/2 and 1/2, most is done with the Pentool, but I made alot of them a long time ago and saved them as brushes...but alot are new...so ya, get some practice with the Pentool, because it is absolutely perfect for making arcs and curves.

Much improved textures... makes you wonder why Anet has our stuff at low res :/

Thanks Chronos.

because they spent more time on making the game fun, how dare they lol.

Rahl · Aug 01, 2007, 01:10 PM // 13:10

Well its pretty obvious that just this small cosmetic change didn't really take that long....ah well.

Willow O Whisper · Aug 01, 2007, 02:28 PM // 14:28

Damn Chronos u keep impressing me, great job on ther derv armor, are u going to release some kind of Tribalize package?.

arghh! why do Topaz have to be a pay to use program?!!!!!

tenshi_strife · Aug 01, 2007, 07:20 PM // 19:20

it takes a while if its well hum the thousands of textures out there........ lol and it provides a look that not all like.

Chronos the Defiler · Aug 01, 2007, 08:42 PM // 20:42

and they may be trying to keep in touch with the last-gen PCs which may not like the upgrade to every texture around them

jjdefan · Aug 03, 2007, 01:54 AM // 01:54

Would you work this one please?

Well, i've kept on experimenting and to be quite honest i've been finding the topazing tool to be most effective and impressive when used upon weapons, they generally come out superb, particularly those of which that are plagueborn or tormented. Pets and minis have a nice effect as well. but back to the armors, i've been having particular problems with primeval armor textures, the problem is many of the finer details come out perfectly yet the sharpened edges (and you know primeval has alot of them) tends to come out rather gritty, do you have any suggestions for remedying such problems?

try lowering the threshold on YCrbR or something like that and increasing the iterations.

Aceracer · Aug 06, 2007, 09:45 PM // 21:45

could you do some of that Topaz Magic i've seen on these 2 sets? and for the obsid i'd really appreciate it if you could add a subtle under-pattern like a tribal hidden in the black

ty in advance

Hey Chronos, with this text mod thingy, would you be able to give someone a price rurik skin? or a gwen skin?

tenshi_strife · Aug 07, 2007, 02:31 AM // 02:31

only if they have the exact same model as them...... i prolly could find a set of war armor thats similar, but it would be a fat rurik XD. you are changing the skin not the model, new paint same house.
