There likely will be people who are, but I advise you to, when BoA comes out, work your scenario using "filler" graphics first and then request custom graphics when you're sure it will be completed. Posts: 3234 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

Does anybody know who drew the graphics for the Nethergate and Avernum terrains and monsters? I think they would probably be the best ones to contact for custom graphics. Personaly I would love it if all the humanoid type monsters (Goblins, Troglos, Ogres, undead, ect) came with sitting graphics as well. A graphic of a Mac or a PC would be realy cool also. (Give them something to work at while they sit!) Posts: 141 | Registered: Saturday, April 20 2002 07:00 |

I'd be glad to create custom graphics for people. I am more experienced with BoE graphics, but I'm sure it ain't that hard to pick up the additional dimension. ;) -------------------- Polaris Posts: 1614 | Registered: Wednesday, January 23 2002 08:00 |

Actually, Sir Motrax, the extra dimentions make Avernum graphics several times harder than Exile graphics. Indeed, you have less to worry about detail, but you have to do 8 times the graphics for a single monster if you're doing a chaired graphic, and working off a diagonal directional basis is rather... unpleasant. -------------------- Razordisk Frisbee Golf Posts: 168 | Registered: Saturday, October 26 2002 07:00 |

Add to that the monsters SEEM smaller than in BoE - thus detail is harder to add. Just my opinion. -------------------- All that we see, or seem, is but a dream within a dream.

Sitting graphics aren't really that hard to do. I don't know why people have so much trouble with them. It takes about ten minutes, tops. That is, if you're using a half-decent graphics program. It's much more difficult if you're using something like MSPaint. Paint Shop works, though. -------------------- My Myspace, with some of my audial and visual art The Lyceum - The Headquarters of the Blades designing community The Louvre - The Blades of Avernum graphics database Alexandria - The Blades of Exile Scenario database BoE Webring - Self explanatory Polaris - Free porn here Odd Todd - Fun for the unemployed (and everyone else too) They Might Be Giants - Four websites for one of the greatest bands in existance -------------------- 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 Posts: 2957 | Registered: Thursday, October 4 2001 07:00 |

The actual sitting graphic itself involving the chair is indeed a relatively easily accomplished feat involving a few alterations to the normal neutral non-combat based graphic and the original terrain chair object. These alterations are easily accomplished even in MSPaint. However, with a chaired character, you need a north, west, south, and east facing graphic for the non-combat position, the combat position, the attacking positions, and the seating positions, as well as a four part death animation. If you look at most the chaired graphics that are original to Avernum, these graphics aren't simple mirrors of eachother most of the time as they are in Exile, each one having unique alterations. So, if you intend on making custom graphics in the usual avernum fassion, you're left to draw twenty individual graphics for a single character. Compared to Exile graphics, it is very safe to say that Avernum Graphics are harder to create. -------------------- Razordisk Frisbee Golf Posts: 168 | Registered: Saturday, October 26 2002 07:00 |

I'd personally like to see lots of new PC graphics. The default choices for A3 are great, and there are plenty of them, but even more would be even better :D -------------------- Beware of pretty girls in dance halls and parks who may be spies, as well as bicycles, revolvers, uniforms, arms, dead horses, and men lying on roads -- they are not there accidentally." - Soviet infantry manual, 1930's Posts: 267 | Registered: Wednesday, November 27 2002 08:00 |
