Lookee what being bored can do.....

So here's a question to all of you who have made a shipset before. How do you make good resolution mini images using DOGA? Whenever I render them in the 128x128 size, the ship doesn't look as sharp as it does on larger renders.

Nice!

On the KanesS set, I had to boost the brightness of my mini images to get them looking nice, and sometimes you have to just go in there, roll up your sleeves and tweak a few pixels by hand.

Also, trim off any excess black bacground before resizing, and where possible try to render and trim to resolutions that divide neatly into the target size. I rendered everything (including portraits) to 512*512.

A lot of positive posts. Good work.

Okay well here is the prospective cruiser. I'm messing around with the "shininess" of the different parts to help the details of the ship stand out better.

Very nice.

Nice work!

Where can you get this Doga program? I remember reading a post about it and you also need a translator program? If I remember right it's in Japanese? I'd like to try it.

You can find it here....

I like the detail, the windows, and the claws.

I render my ships at 1280x1280 and use a graphics program to reduce them to 10% of original size. I find that it gives better images. Even if you only use paint.
