How to resize MK sprites for Mugen HD

#1 October 04, 2010, 08:02:04 am

I like playing with girls,.. ;)

PHASE I      - resize the image, turn the Optimization/Anti-aliasing off
PHASE II     - redraw the edges by hand, make em look smooth.
PHASE III    - select character, blur the image (preserve the outline)
PHASE IV    - increase contrast

When you resize the character make sure the pixels dont blur, but remain perfect squares.
Redrawing the edges is more about shape then color.
Blur the image against a black background to avoid colortainted edges

Overall its pretty easy, the quality kinda depends on how much time your wiling to spend on redrawing the edges. But as you see below it works out pretty good against dark backgrounds with not too much effort.

Well i hope you like this one, and that it maybe usefull to some of you.

Yeah, sorry, but that doesn't look good at all.

Its either this or play with old pixelated characters, the sprites have allways been blurred out on your tv screen. I'd say this is an improvement.

A method that looks better than the same type of crap that's already been showcased for years.

Phase 2 looks best mate. The sprites for MK were created with a pretty high colour count in the first place so cleaning the lines up actually makes them look worse because you just can't do a decent job of detail while retaining that colour count.

It may actually be better to resize to HR and detail THEN resize to HD and more detail. Using a filter or any tool is going to be rubbish.
