Dono if this question was directed at me but:Aguraki wrote:this neogaf thread is really cool to read.
found a supplier cheap enough and good set will be 30€ max with plenty of colors.
a few questions though:
are u using the 5mm beads (hama midi dunno for the perler) or the 2.5mm?
how do you choose the size of your sprite?
I mean what is the process to make the exact same sprite bigger or smaller?
I understand we try to transpose pixels by beads but what is the process if u'd like to make a larger sprite?
Do you set the grid with more width and height and voila?
I'm curious.
Generally people use the 5mm Midi Perler/Hama beads. I personally use perler.
I take a snapshot of what I want to do in mame, open it in paint and zoom in 800%. Basically every pixel is 1 bead, and I count how many pixels long and how wide it is before doing it to see if I have enough space and feel like I can make it.
Not exactly sure what you mean here, it's usually better to just to do the sprites in their exact size in my experience. I don't really know how to make a bigger sprite to work with without distorting things.
The pegboards you use can be arranged as you see fit, keep in mind they are 29x29, so if you need to make something that is bigger than 29x29 you might need 4 pegboards in order to fit it easily.
still awesomly beautiful. I have plans on making a similar but not as big with Space Invaders. But Space Invaders are easy looking and jsut white so
