Some other notes: Pseudo pixel art 3D like dead cells isn’t the most common, in fact Dead Cells is one of the few games I can think of that do this. Fully drawn pixel art is still the standard when it comes to pixel art indie games, with recent hit Pizza Tower being an example of such, though in a lot of cases other old techniques are used Oddly enough, dyanamic lighting in Katana Zero uses a much simpler method, using a few sets of monochrome highlight sheets for a character which are coloured when a light shows up. This is often used for assets that can have their colour altered, with my first time seeing this being the portals in the Mario fan game Mari0 Meanwhile undertale is hand drawn, but uses layers of individual segments to create its smooth battle animations. This method is particularly common in older games, with examples such as the Mecha Dragon from Mega Man 2 (where sprites make up moving parts of his sprite and all stationary parts are a static background which scrolls to make the illusion of it flying around), and most bosses in Super Metroid (with Ridley’s tale being an example of this at it’s finest). These save on resources immensely (since static elements of the animation don’t need to be animated with the rest of the sprite) but also allows for smoother motions that would be extremely costly if drawing every frame (again, see Ridley’s tail and how it’s pretty much just segmented circles). These are really fun techniques to work with and help speed up animating immensely

Making sprites from 3D renders results in a cool style that has worked well for many games, but I feel that it would be misleading to suggest that they are a faster way of achieving the same result as more traditional pixel art workflows. In general, 3D renders being used instead of hand-drawn/plotted art will appear uncannily on-model and perspective-correct in motion. Consider the difference between asking an artist to perform a 3D projection and asking an algorithm to do so: the artist favors appeal and readability over technical accuracy. By my reckoning, the audience similarly disagrees with the naïve mathematical approach to making a cartoon person move around the screen, and would easily recognize 3D character animations as being "3D-ish". Now, the artist COULD manually add squash and stretch, smear frames, and Xrd-style hand-tweaked vertex normals to the animations, but at that point you risk losing a lot of the time savings of the 3D approach. Also, even if this additional work has been done, the differences in shape and motion between products of 2D versus 3D workflows will still exist to some extent. These differences mean that using 3D renders is a commitment to a particular set of styles that would appear jarring in Undertale, Shovel Knight, or Celeste - so you're just not going to get the same look at all.

@twerdeffan1080 Жыл бұрын

thank you for actually saying this. dude shows Undertale at the start as if to imply they use this method lol. this title is a straight up lie

@PaonSol Жыл бұрын

Well, Dead Cells proves that it absolutely can be a much faster way to achieve really good looking pixel art. All that he does is take the key frames and add interpolation and VFX, and the whole process takes minutes as opposed to many times that even for a talented pixel artist in Aseprite.

The point isnt really to achieve the same look of handmade pixel art 1:1, just more convenient + a pixel shader would make it look better than the original 3D It is 100% way less tedious and time consuming than handmade pixel art

@NihongoWakannai 10 ай бұрын

Sure there are styles in traditional pixel art that can't be replicated perfectly. But it's still a much faster way to achieve a similar style If they want to add a new axe to the game, all they have to do is make a low poly model for it and then boom they're done. No animation needed at all

7:00 those are not imposters, they are called 'billboards' imposters are also flat planes, in general you take a picture every X degrees of an object, put it into a texture sheet and the imposter changes the texture to the correct one depending on the angle you are looking at

@maxmustermann3938 Жыл бұрын

A single billboard can still be an impostor, just not a very good one. What you are describing as impostors is still using the billboard technique, it just switches out the billboard. Billboard is just the concept of a flat plane, impostor is the concept of using simple geometry with textures to fake a higher detailed geometry. Impostors typically use billboards, but not every billboard is an impostor.

Yeah but that game is so low resolution, for a pixel art professional it's probably faster to repixel every skin or apply some shader techniques for different colors. Like her leg is literally 1px wide. I can do a sprite sheet of that caliber in minutes, a complete edit after it's finished in seconds (using Aseprite). I don't mean to flex here or anything, just thinking, realistically, how much customization is needed to make a complex system like this worth it and is it even feasible to implement this on larger sprites? That remains to be shown. (Because that kind of system would be a BANG for Stardew Valley like games. I had a client that made me do this. It's the most repetitive boring work I've ever done...)

There's another way I saw somewhere. Basically, the character is made out of a bunch of different parts and each parts have their own "UV" aka textures. Each limbs can be modified in shape or colors at will to create varieties without having to remake all the sprites. So all the devs have to do is to design the individual limbs and create textures akin to a 3D model.

You can take it a step futher. Instead of baking sprites into sprite sheet you can use same processing in full blown 3D with a shader. Same exact processing as described but performed on actual 3D models in game engine with orthographic camera. Realistic lighting, reflections, SSAO, shiny materials like metal etc. Next step would be to remove also bleed pixels to give it even crispier look but some of it is already handeled by posterization.

Back in 2015 at animation college we were given a task to make a character sprite sheet. I can not draw to save my life and didn't know what to do. So I modelled a character and posed it then took renders and put them in. The lecturer didn't know if to fail me or praise me. I got the job done in about half the time it took the others because I can model, rig and pose faster than they could draw. I didn't think much of it, it was just a solution to my inability to draw. I also used this technique when doing concept art and character design sketches. Now it turns out I was onto something without knowing what I was doing. I still have no idea what I am doing but now feel better that I could accidentally be a genius.

Also the two give some very different vibes, its not the exact same. But if you like it or wanted to have the same deadcells style anyway its fine of course I guess.

@PutineluAlin Жыл бұрын

The workflow differs you can also use more specialized tools that do a great job with the filters making it really hard to think it was a 3D model. This workflow is to save time on objects that should not take 4-5 days to animate a flag or a windmill, in GDC there is also a talk using 3ds max for environments on a isometric strategy resource game. All those units you see from far away had to be animated by hand and the artist took a lot of time to do even the basic foot soldier. Now what is best is to prioritize for example you have better character design and pixel art on the hero characters the order of importance. Hope this helps the production is tied to the game development and optimizing the workflow is par for the course. All this so that the game won't become a one man passion project but more of a product for everyone.

This video is a little deceptive. He's not saying traditional art is outdated, just that it takes time. I feel like this method is much more useful if you already know 3D but don't know or want to learn pixel art. People have different skill sets, but sometimes you want a specific style and don't have the time or motivation to learn how to create that style the "traditional" way. Making good pixel art is like making good 3D models. If you're willing to take the time to learn pixel art, then I recommend the traditional way. However, if you're a 3D designer who wants a pixel aesthetic for their game, then definitely consider this option.

Plenty of game engines have filter options that allow 3D models to "look" like pixel art, plus you don't need to worry about lighting problems. However, this style is much more interesting to look at and is a lot closer to true pixel art. As someone who has never rendered a 3D image before (and doesn't have any dedicated external storage), I do want to ask, how much space does it cost? Like having a basic running animation would probably be fine, but having to render out thousands of frames to make an entire sprite sheet sounds costly in terms of computer storage.

@monkeybtm6 Жыл бұрын

Very little, with the right file formats. Color palletes and resolutions of most sprite renders, most sprites are less than 20KB per frame. But even full color images can be less than 40KB. Thousands of frames can fit in the size of a single music MP3 if using a reduced color pallete. One frame of the cacodemon sprite from the original DOOM is 4KB at a resolution of 63x66. So the above examples are on the very generous side.
