Default Re: Need help: Images

I havent messed with it since Dom2 so that brings up something I was wondering.

Back in Dom2 I found that it worked better to turn off all of Dominions screen effects. I would use command-line settings to run it on its lowest ugliest graphic mode in order to capture the image, then I would use a paint program to make minimum changes (such as moving an arm for the second sprite). I had found that if I spent too much time trying to make the sprite pretty, then when it was put back into the game Dominions fade and blur effects made it look terrible.

Is this still a factor with Dom3? Does smoothing the edges of your sprites cause the game to double the effect?
