A few spell gfx

Post by Gro'bul »

I relize we already have a lighting bolt, but I don't know what spells need gfx so I just made a few. They might be a little too big, and obviously don't have a pink bg.

Nice but not usable for several reasons.
Figure them out yourself. If you're not able to then you're probably not good enough.

I'm not sure if I was supposed to list them out but:
Wrong format (yes I have all the frames in 16bit bmp)
anti-aliasing needs to be removed
pink bg
size adjusted to fit tile
glow translucency would need to be edited/taken off
too many frames
fireball doesn't really have a shape, just a blob (making it unillarionish)

Most of these adjustments are not too hard, I can lower the glow on the fireball so it has more shape (its a squashed polygon sphere that shatters)

With these adjustments if it has a chance of being Illarion worthy I'll work on it.

I think they look fine. They have a sort of glow to them. Unlike most Illarion spell affects.

Hence the problem...I also think the lighting one is a bit off perspective

Well I did my best to take off the anti-aliasing, erase outmost glow, and saved it as a 16bit bmp, for the 4th frame (main one) and it doesn't look that bad IMO. I matched it against an Illarion tile and it is about the right size, maybe too small. It will probobly open paint or microsoft fax veiwer or something to veiw it.

I think the tip of the lightning should come from the sky, so you wouldnt be able to see it on you screen, only a line of blue lightning hitting the ground... but what do I know?
