Pixelmator - Does it work for CC Spriting? Quote: i always thought it was 24 bit. Some guy just told me it was 24. So it's 8 bit? You sure? Quote: I know Pixen works for .bmp files and you can import palettes and whatnot. I think I had Pixen, but there was some problems. I forgot... Lemme go try it out again. Edit: PXLR (http://www.pixlr.com/editor/) is a free, web-based editor. It works as well  But I still want Pixelmator.Edit: Right! For glows... Ignore the first 2 lines... |

Re: Pixelmator - Does it work for CC Spriting? What do you need besides paint? I may be ignorant, but all I use is the colour chooser tool, and the pencil.

Re: Pixelmator - Does it work for CC Spriting? Darlos9D and I both use GraphicsGale. It was practically built for CC.

Re: Pixelmator - Does it work for CC Spriting? p3lb0x wrote: CC sprites are 256 colors with a custom palette. The sprite HAS to be in this palette or it will look weird in game. A common method of converting a sprite to the right palette is to paste your sprite over a base.rte sprite in Paint. I don't know if a similar method exists for macs Actually, this was because people didn't understand that CC used 256 color bitmaps. Opening the palette image(which is a 256 color bitmap) in paint was just a bass ackwards way of doing save as > 256 color bitmap. I've been trying to tell people this for years. |
