Title: Need opinion on background style
Post by: Jimi on Wed 16/07/2003 18:03:50
I was pondering last night about antialiasing my backgrounds. Anyway, I wasn't sure, so I need your opinion. Which do you prefer?

This:

or this:

I rather like the antialiased one, but I really wasn't sure.

PS. Ignore the cparry GIF thing, and also ignore the windows. I will have that picture in either one, its just i lost the finished old one.

i really like the first one better than the second, i like the way the windows have depth too, so that the walls don't appear to be only 1mm thick...

I'd say use the first one, and add more detail and shading. Those will improve your background much more than blurring the lines ever will..

I like the smooth lines on the antialiased floor and lamp compared to the jagged lines on the first.

You can always ditch the black lines in favor of shading and more details. I think #1 is a very good start for a room.

they both look great, i think you should add the windows into the first one, as its hard to judje when one hasnt got evrything it will have.

Wo, those shadows are great synthetique! I liked the original outside more though, it was more colorful and cheerful.

Between Jimi's 1 and 2 I like the smoothness of the second but the lines are too thick. They look better gray. The rest of the image isgreat though, I like the lamp and the counter expeccially. :) Only thing that bothers me is that the lamp seems to be floting in the air not attaced to anything, probably since the top is curved..
