Whoa! You're right!
I just didn't recognize it, so good the graphic conversion is done!
I should have noticed that. For my 'Star Fire' I was experimenting with
that shifting too, in order to make some really large & good looking
enemy ships.
But for that tricky approach you need certain shapes. For example I was
trying to draw the cowboys for my Outlaw remake with that technique,
like this:
| |
| normal resolution head |
| |
| |
| double resolution body + gun |
| |
| |
| normal resolution feet |
| |
Looked brilliant with 0° gun angle, but in the end it didn't work out
for two reasons:
- On the 60° angles the gun would be as high as the head (or as low as
the feet).
- On that angle the gun looked crappy with or without shifting.
Besides in the meantime I decided to do the gun in a different colour
than the cowboy, so I can do a multicolor cowboy now + I always have a
black gun.
Greetings,
Manuel
