Skins Resolution

**mcantu** · 07-14-2007, 13:10

IIRC, EB used to use only 256x256 resolution skins. Are the new skins shown in the previews still at that resolution or have they gone up to 512x512 yet?

Only officers and one mount uses 512x512, all others use 256x256.

It seems most mods have moved to 512x512 for their skins. Is there a reason EB is keeping them at such a low res?

Yes, performance and consistancy.

It's hard to keep the skinners/modellers from it now it seems though. Especially if MTW2 is sitting there in front of them too.

By all means, give them them free to increase the resolution.

P.S.:I'm curios if someone got my lame movie reference

Thing is, all the ''old'' skins are in 256x256 format, and i doubt anybody's willing to redo all of them

But when EB2 comes around the textures will have to be changed to higher resolutions (I hope it's not as hard as starting from scratch)

Well, skin whise I don't think they'll have much trouble porting the skins to MTW2... I don't think they'll need to redo anything in that department...

Cheers...

Well I believe the plan is to redo all units in MTW2 anyway, the models will need changing, which will necessitate changing the skins. We won't do this directly, we will simply import our RTW work into MTW2, and then slowly redo the units one by one.
