    Oops! I forgot about a free alternative. Using _Piskel_ , you can open a new sprite, click _Import Image_ and resize by unclicking the _Smooth Resize_ checkbox. Thanks!

    Using GIMP it is about the same.
    Colours -> Posterize (5th from the bottom)
    Image -> Scale Image -> Select %
    Also, when you want to pixellate a High Res Image, just resize it again (1000% if you did 10% the previous step). On GIMP, use "Interpolation -> None" to achieve the best outcome (imo)

    @marcozedler505 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Instead of posterize, the image can also be converted to indexed color mode. There you have more options, e.g. diffusion. The color palette can then be edited manually or loaded from custom palette file. When this is done, simply switch back to RGB mode.

    This is hilarious. In the old days we only had nearest neighbour resizing. No filtering. If someone resized a photo with deluxe paint or paint shop pro and called it pixel art they would have been laughed at.

    @VarionJimmy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +12

    It was at least 25 years since I made pixel-art. A couple of days ago I found this channel by coincidence and now I’m thinking of starting again.
    A trick I used to do was to convert the picture to gif format with just a few colours. Maybe a mosaic filter would work to? Haven’t tried.

    Instead of posterize, create a custom palette with maybe 8 colors you pick manually from the image, or if lazy, just let your photoediting app select them for you.

    So approximately this is the process I need to code to make a shader that turns a 3d projection into pixel art. I will need a limited palette though, so I'll find a closest color in the palette for any color in the image. But I may need some heuristics to detect stray pixels and jagged lines

    • @naelpontes8444
      @naelpontes8444 ปีที่แล้ว

      Just need to resize it back to a bigger size after this whole process. Since it’s pixel art without anti-aliasing, every pixel will increase naturally and form a similar image. You can resize it by percentage (such as 200%, 500%) to not lose any quality.

      Most programs let you resize/crop your canvas, if your program lets you, crop your canvas down to the pixel art and it’ll appear bigger

      You can do that, but you might need to touch up some mistakes with a pixel editor. If you're more experienced with vector art then I think it's a good idea.
