Images Not The Same In-Game As In Website

[nytro]

All images I use are 512x512, and are only using these 9 colors:


Example 1:
Original Image


Dither Applied, proper colors used


What the website says it will appear as


The actual image that results ingame



Example 2 (A more noticeable difference):

What the website says it will appear as


The actual image that results ingame


Side by side view


Like I said before, the images that do look decent have been properly edited and only contain the colors from the allowed pallet.

What I might think be the case here is something to do with the number of fields. These images of course have A LOT, and when you open up the "Paint Sketch" crafting window, this is the result for one of them:

Lots of linseed oil.


Please help us starving artists! We need to express our memes in the way they should be seen! ;_;

This is of crucial importance.

Not sure, but imho this is because the in-game view just isn't 512*512 so to display it the client must calculate a smaller picture by mixing/choosing the pixels and it doesn't end up well

H&h deosn't like pointillism

I've done some experimenting with this and in my experience you have to find a compromise. While the upload page says otherwise, it appears that H&H tampers with images bigger than 128x128. Don't trust the web preview. See below:



If you're using solid color by all means use a large 512x512 image, but if you want to dither to approximate more range then it's too big. Drop the resolution until it looks good in the in-game sketch preview (128px). That's the one that will be used. Dither that smaller image. Dithering on anything else will screw up the final image.

I've only tested with paintings. It's possible the 128px thing only applies to small objects and high resolution shrek might look fine on a knarr's sail, but I'm not building one to find out.

Will look at it.

Difference in antialiasing algorithm used on the website versus game. The one used on the website is too prestanda intensive to be used in game.

One problem here is using a dithered image.

how are we supposed to have our dank memes ingame then

Then why not use the one from the game for the website?

+1, a preview is not useful if it does not show what it will be.

Can you elaborate a little more on the methods used as well? I'd like to be able to make sure I can get the best quality images possible.
