Read my other tutorials for better help. This tutorial is a small feature
Hey people, like the name says "How to make Vintage Sprites". What are Vintage sprites? Vintage sprites are like old-time looking things, like if you have a scene in your game where someone in the past comes... its best to make them Vintage. (Note: I don't know what Vintage really means but I watch movies and thats what I know from movies).
This tutorial will be using Paint.NET. I don't know if this can use Photoshop or GIMP, one thing; you can't use MSPaint. Once its Step 4 you will need MSpaint
Difficulty: Easy And Short.
By the way, I don't know if this will look very good on rm2k3 sprites. But it looks great on XP/VX.
Step one: Open up Paint.NET and Open up your sprite
Step two: go to Effects > Photos > Soften Portrait
Step three: Change the softness/Lighting/Warmth to whatever you think is best. (Note: You can't get this step wrong so when you see that its good click Ok).
Step four: "Save as" the sprite into a new file (Meaning: Don't overight the original. Go on MSpaint and colour the background all one color, (Don't make it a color in the sprite though)
Step five: RM2k3 only: Open up MSpaint and all you need to do is Change the background to that green colour used for sprites.
For VX/XP: Open up resource Manger (On the VX/XP editor) and Import the picture and click the background colour as the transparent. (Left click).
Once you finish it should look a little like this:
You have complete.
