[VX ACE] Need help resizing some Sprites I made

[Lonewulf123 1]

Hello all,

 

Long, story short, I need some help resizing my sprites for VX ACe

 

I've decided to take my own shot a creating my own graphics. I've made a template for my sprites so it will be easier (the top left character).

 

I decided to test the animation of the character in the game using the Old School Modern DLC pack. However, what I noticed is that the character is a little too small for the resource in that pack. (Doors and items are little to large.)  Not going to post screens of that because its DLC, but if you PM me we can work something out

 

I've tried to resize the character so that it fits more with those tiles, but it just became blurry and not appeasing. I'm asking if anyone can help me resize this template to it would better fit with VX Ace tiles? While, not making the sprite blurry?

 

Thanks!

I'm not sure what software do you use, but setting interpolation to none when scaling will not make the sprite blurry.

 

You can't resize the image by x1.4, for example, because it will always lead to quality loss either by blurring or by cutting off some pixels when not using interpolation as you obviously can't draw 1.4 pixels in one pixel.

Multiplying by x2 without interpolation would perfectly scale the sprite to double size.

 

Anyway, I think you'll have to manually edit the sprite, because even if you'll scale the image by doubling its size, it will look kinda weird when comparing to other sprites, unless they also are double-sized.

Hey Riki,

 

Thank you for taking the time to help me out with this request. I'm using paint.net, and to be perfectly honest with you, I just started pixel art just a week ago (figured I could learn rather than use other people's resources for characters).

 

I figured each sprite would have to be edited manually, if I doubled it, all the sprites would look the same, because technically they aren't made yet.

 

I'll try resizing and see how that goes.

Hopefully I made this the right size for you! What I did was scale up the sprite by 140%, then recreate each frame to match the original as closely as possible.   

Here's what I came up with:


Let me know if you'd like me to change anything for you!

This looks great! I've tested it out and it looks like its working perfectly.

 

Thank you!
