Title: BackGround for your eye hole - also QA
Post by: Gfunkera on Wed 17/03/2004 18:31:48
Ok well its mee, most of you probally don't know who I am. But I know a lot of you do.... (Demorgon) :) Ok so I remember way  back in the beginning that you could use flic animations or even avi (i think, its been like 3 years) So what I wanna know is what are some good/easy programs to make avi or flic animation.  If so where can I find them, I know I used one years ago but I can't for the life of me remember what the heck it was called.....

Thats funny you say that just the other day I sent a pic to m0ds and he said the same exact thing.... hehehehehehe what shall I do to change it mmmhhhhhh......  Oh and the grass and the leaves are default part of photoshop, and I think the stock of the tree might need some work....

Since the main character is a drug-abusing AGS user...surrealist backgrounds are pretty appropriate.

I likez it!!  ;D

Critics?
I'm just having few questions.
Is that tree on the picture having some strange gravity, which keeps leaves floating around the branches without being connected to the branch?
Is that brown thing a (furry?) cave or a dead bear hit by a bazooka? And why is some of grass growing on him? Or is he already dead for that long?
How many seconds did you spend on making this picture before posting?

If you're able to explain (in your game) what's going on with BG-s like this, consider yourself having a goddamn good story.

Where is the background my eyehole was promised? You're all talking about a picture, and I don't know where it is.

As for the character he says 'staring' for 'starring', and does appear to be in possession of his drug of choice, rendering the need for a quest ... questionable.

Later, fellow hacker biatches.

Now this is alot better one.
There's still some problems though, such as these little trees look like they're painted onto wall and grass looks like a furry carpet. Maybe you should turn off antialiasing when doing grass?

Maybe you'd want to check out my BG tutorial too, It's on this agsforums.com resources page.

Shadows are what you really need here.
