how to convert low res stage sprites to hires

#1 April 28, 2011, 05:17:52 pm

I was wondering how do this happen what program are they using and how can it be done because stages have a lot of colors so to redraw it will be impossible for someone without painting drawing skills so there must be a way that this can be done I mean Master yoda made some stages hi and low res but when I looked them bought I only saw that the hr version has bigger sprites then the low res but just making the low res sprites bigger is not all that he did and I really want to learn how to do it because I want to make the low res stages that have a lot of potential hi res so please if anyone can help me please just tell me

Do NOT use filters.

Filters always look like splodgy crap. Redrawing is the only way to get a decent result. A low res stage looks better than one made HR with shitty blowup filters.

In M.U.G.E.N there is no magic button

They say a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, but it's not one half so bad as a lot of ignorance.

One Alpha at a time

Filters = Easy/Lazy ...Blurry results

Resizing/Pixel Editing = Professional/Tedious and Requires Practice and trial and error ...Amazing Results!!!

Check out this Lores to HD tutorial to get an idea of how you could do it for Lores to Hires (just cut the resizing by half the size and the rest is pretty much the same)

Now of course this is for Character Sprites...BG sprites may take more time, but this should be helpful enough.

Best of luck!
