Mabus77 Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 A while ago on CMODS someone gracioulsy posted some nice modern mods of assorted troops. My computer suffered some serious data loss, and now the CMODS is gone, does anyone know if these are still available? thank you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabus77 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Does anyone have advice on making unit sprites? I've tried shrinking pictures of toys models on photo shop, but so far everything I've done looks horrible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisND Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Those graphics were mine, and they died with cmmods. Describe exactly what you do when you shrink the pictures, and I may be able to give you some pointers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mabus77 Posted July 12, 2009 Author Share Posted July 12, 2009 Yes, now I remember your name. Those were some nice mods you did, my name used to be Frost before they converted the website...anyway... I basically find a picture of a tank or what have you on the internet. I usually try to use pictures of toys rather than a real picture of a tank (I for some reason see this as coming out better in the game). Save it to my desktop as a jpeg, open up photo shop and manually shrink down the size with the free transform option, then I clean it up by taking out white pixels and such, but when I paste it in I'm losing a lot of resolution, and it looks pathetic in comparison to the 3-d mods that come with the game, or your mods for that matter. Any advice on keeping good resolution? thanks for the response 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I usually try to use pictures of toys rather than a real picture of a tank (I for some reason see this as coming out better in the game). Good start. I use toy/model images because they tend to have better lighting and detail, and the foreground is often very distinct from the background.

Any advice on keeping good resolution? thanks for the response I would use the Image Size tool you have more control over how the program shrinks the image. I also separate the object from the foreground and cut around it before resizing. Then post-sizing massaging is needed. I'll bang up a graphic tomorrow and go through it step by step. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
