The link is broken and the zip is corrupt.

[Eyn]

now it ll work

sorry, that was right, bad link. but now it works

[BeBMan]

Wow, these ToT units look great! Have you made them, Eyn?

BTW, can I upload them too?

[Eyn]

hmm... not really

i've gone to a 1/76 and 1/32 plastic toy soldiers miniatures site
and i copy/paste/soften/reduce it !

[William Keenan]

Eyn, may I put these units on the Cradle of Civilization?

I find that the best results are obtained by copy paste-reduce-sharpen.

[Eyn]

yes u can

and i ll try your copy paste reduce sharpen

[Eyn]

yes that's a bit better for some of it

i try "copy-paste-soften-reduce-sharpen" and it looks good.
i'll keep this way for soldiers but i tried to sharpen some WW2
vehicules too... i dislike the resultat.
i've "sharpen" some of the soldiers and had 3-4 more soldiers to the zip file.

[William Keenan]

The new units look most excelent!

You should shrapen the rest.


My real method for unit reduction:
[list=1][*]copy[*]paste[*]remove background[*]recolor (where needed)[*]repaint/remove fine detail tune lighting[*]reduce[*]sharpen[*]trim aliasing[*]copy and paste 10 times[*]combine the 10 copies together (removes remaining aliasing)[*]shadow [*]done[/list=1]

plait-il ? ...

hmmm riiiight...
but i don't want to spend 1 hour/units !
i use freehand selection to "cute" the units only
i adjust brightness(-)/contrast(+) the "clipboard"
i soften it
i reduce it
i sharpen it
then i definitively paste it
i removed some "background"pixel
take me 2-3 min/unit

The process above takes about 20 minutes using Corel Draw 10. It would take much longer in any other software.

I usuallly spend 3 to 4 hours on an image. Sometimes much longer. I'm a perfectionist, but I think the results are worth it. For example, my avatar (to the left) took about 16 hours total.

20 minutes that's to much time spend for me but...
... 3-4 hours for ONE unit ?... and 16 hours for your avatar?

Alas, there is no treatment for perfectionism.
