i would be really happy if you could do this for Ico
― Tracer Hand, Thursday, 5 July 2007 11:57 (eighteen years ago)
do you mean the riders head? it was accidentally softened because of where the blur mask was set down the screen, i guess i should have art-history'd his head back in focus.
― Ste, Thursday, 5 July 2007 12:50 (eighteen years ago)
I meant his knees as well, the wheels aren't as rounded...
― kv_nol, Thursday, 5 July 2007 13:54 (eighteen years ago)
yeah i don't know what happened at the knees, i think the contrast between the white bike and the black outfit blew out when I curved it to death.
― Ste, Thursday, 5 July 2007 14:22 (eighteen years ago)
I... don't know what that means...
― kv_nol, Thursday, 5 July 2007 15:14 (eighteen years ago)
its a tool in photoshop, the curve tool. i use it to enhance contrast and colour. which i used to the max on this one.
― Ste, Thursday, 5 July 2007 15:23 (eighteen years ago)
Ah. Cheers. More plz.

I like the last one best, it looks like those faux-model train miniatures shots that were all the rage on ILE for a few days way back when
― El Tomboto, Thursday, 5 July 2007 17:57 (eighteen years ago)
Oh the larks as people tried to recreate them. Good attempts though and definitely one or two successes! Can't find thread though, sorry. Had something to do with model railways in the title.
― kv_nol, Thursday, 5 July 2007 23:06 (eighteen years ago)
It looks like a miniature trainset but really, oh that one really is: Olivo Barbieri and fake tilt-shifting photos

thanks, i pretty much ran out of black bricks after this. but i want to do another one instead and keep it on my shelf. perhaps one with more colour
― remove this man from the internet (Ste), Thursday, 12 May 2011 07:55 (fifteen years ago)
also the aspect ratio of the brick sizes means they look a little stretched horizontally. this would lend itself well to atari type ones, or bbc mode 2 graphics!
― remove this man from the internet (Ste), Thursday, 12 May 2011 07:56 (fifteen years ago)
Modes 2 and 5 had pixels that were twice as wide as they were tall. Modes 1 and 4 had square pixels. The aspect ratio for Lego bricks is something like 1 unit high, two thirds of a unit wide?http://www.lugnet.com/~330/FAQ/Build/dimensions
― got a whole lotta gloves (snoball), Thursday, 12 May 2011 08:19 (fifteen years ago)
oh i'm using 2 brick slots horizontally to 1 vertically, because i have more thick bricks than thin.
so yeah, if i just used single bricks it would be then stretched upwards. i tried this actually with a galaxian sprite and it looked stupid.

― Hazy Maze Cave (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 25 March 2018 19:11 (eight years ago)
Now, now. Perhaps it's come a long way in recent versions but my recollection is that 'trace' isn't really all that. It involves some work to overcome Adobe's apparent insistence that a copy of a straight line should have 52 anchor points.
