[serene kernel]

Welcome to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1386907691082842272! Here are some guidelines for this channel:

‼️ You MUST post to #1050404143807873157 before putting your bases here! (Unless it's like, tiny edits to sprite parts or something)

‼️ If you have bases of different Pokémon, either post the bases separately or put all of the names and numbers in one post.

‼️ 96x96 bases should be posted here in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1386907691082842272! Pokémon base sprites are sprites people can use in their fusions (while crediting you). This includes bases made from scratch, revamped gen 1-3 sprites, customs based on TCG art, etc. Write custom base, the name, and IF dex number of the Pokémon in the text of your post!

❌ 288x288 bases (game-sized bases) should be posted to https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1094790320891371640.

❌ Character Customization items should go in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1324893397475004527, read the pinned messages there to find out how to submit them!

❌ Trainer Cards and Team Flags should be submitted in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1281689585235267716, ping @serene kernel to get access to the folder.

✅ Things like templates, guides, sprite assets and any outside resources should be posted here in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1386907691082842272.

• Various assets people can use in their fusions (sprite parts, resized wings, whatever!) Write sprite asset in the text of your post!
• Guides, resources (anything that's not strictly a sprite asset) and things of that nature also belong here! Write spriting guide for guides, and spriting resource for anything else! Feel free to ping a Sprite Manager if you think whatever you're posting doesn't fall under one of these categories!

✅ New/improved game UI, attack animation graphics, transitions, item icons, etc. should be posted here in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1386907691082842272.

• Write UI in the text of your post!

✅ New/improved overworld tilesets should be posted here in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1386907691082842272.

• Write overworld asset in the text of your post!

✅ New/improved trained battle sprites, overworld sprites, portraits, etc. should be posted here in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1386907691082842272.

• Write trainer sprite in the text of your post!
• Character Customization items should go in https://discord.com/channels/302153478556352513/1324893397475004527, read the pinned messages there to find out how to submit them!

🟡 If in doubt, ping a sprite manager!

Beginner's Spriting Guide / Tutorial on how to pose an existing pokemon model in Blender to use for pose or lighting reference.
If the image is too small to read, download it locally. Discord refuses to display it at full size

Keep in mind the UI for your version of Blender could be slightly different from the screenshot, but if there's ever a significant enough difference in the future that it becomes hard to follow (or if you spot a mistake), let me know

Edit: if you want to open the .dae files, you will need a version of blender prior to 5.0! you should be able to find the older versions on the website too

If you want to bring the look of your model rendering further (like changing the material to have different finish/cartoony looking shading/ fix missing textures/improve lighting), or want to know more about other aspect of Blender, you can find plenty of tutorials online to go into details that would not fit into what is supposed to be a basic "how to get started" guide

Most Pokemon should have at least one working model on the models-ressource website, but if you can't find one, you may ping me and I'll get one for you from my files

Can't see your bones with the .DAE files? Try to check the "find bone chain" box on import. It doesn't always work, but when it does it brings up bigger triangle bones like the FBX files have

Color Management and Firefox a spriting guide
By default, any color correction your OS applies to images will be applied to your sprites if you upload them via Firefox. This will likely be barely visible to you, but could matter for bases especially. Disabling this can only be done from the advanced configuration settings.

Step 1: Accessing Settings
Desktop:
go to

about:config
A warning will appear, advising you to proceed with caution. After reading the warning, press “Accept the Risk and Continue”
Mobile:
go to
chrome://geckoview/content/config.xhtml
The risks mentioned above still apply, so be advised.

Step 2: Disabling Color Management
A long list of settings should appear, along with a search box. The setting we’re looking for is gfx.color_management.mode. Type any portion of that into the search box, and it should appear. Change its value from the default of 2 to 0 to disable color management.

Changing this setting back to 2 should reverse the change if needed.

"Why does my shading look bad after I've worked so hard on it?" - a spriting guide
It may be you are getting too focused on the details! In art in general, but especially in pixel art, clear sections of light and shadow will make your work shine! Make sure the proportions are already correct before attempting any texturing. In many cases, texturing is not even needed with a clear enough shading job.
In other words...

KISS: Keep It Simple, Spriters!

Spriting Walkthrough and Photopea Guide

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1o6Fw8G66fwoj-pFilUbulrSguGYVFfXKgJNKsJiIY1U/edit?tab=t.0

Are you brand new to spriting for PIF? This walkthrough meticulously explains the steps for creating a spliced sprite using the free, no-download-required software Photopea. This guide is especially recommended for people who feel they need constant guidance through the process or who are completely unfamiliar with Photoshop-style software.

Do you want to learn how to use Photopea? The second part of this guide explains all the extra features of Photopea that Spriters may find helpful, along with some suggested ways of using them.

Do you wish you could sprite from scratch? The third part of this guide goes over a suggested process for creating fusion sprites without the aid of a base.

This video has some very good information about improving your art that can apply to sprites!
Posing your work to increase the angle of the "cross-sections" is advanced advice in my opinion, but the advice on how to approach shading is crucial!

The second half of the video is about drawing wrinkles in clothes, which isn't as important, though it still has some good advice for Scraggy and Scrafty fusions.

Simple visual example on the process used to smooth out of curve. The "staircased" pixels on the outside are erased after each step to maintain a single pixel line.
Remember to also count the segments length so they go up or down smoothly in one direction (ex. 1-1-2-3-5, not 1-2-3-1-5) to avoid adding jaggies as you round out your inside corner

These are the separated layers for the clear Reuniclus (359) base posted here: #assets-gallery message
The filenames indicate the opacity percentage that each layer should have: The first one is 100%, fully opaque, the second one is 80%, the third one is 50%, and the last one is 30%.
If you want to take up the challenge of using this base, keep in mind that the way to avoid large similarity counts is to hue shift the transparent materials. The more transparent the layer, the more you can shift the hue.

Beyond the removed parts, the changes are extremely minimalistic, so some original jank is still left in there. Please do not ping me when you use this asset.

[narrow fern]

https://tohjo.neocities.org/colorsplitter - Splits all colors in a image into separate layers, and shows you the colors themselves.
https://tohjo.neocities.org/outlineadder - adds a outline to a sprite right where non-transparent and transparent pixels meet. Useful for sprites that don't have outlines yet. (YOU WILL NEED TO POLISH THE OUTLINES YOURSELF!)
https://tohjo.neocities.org/imagerotater - A barebones image rotator that doesn't add extra colors or transparent pixels.

Relatively simple tools i made. WARNING: this is also a fansite as is and not a definite spriter tool and it has eye-painful coloring.

[vague pine]

ASEPRITE TOOL!! :D

This tool can help manage similarity. It doesn't merge colors automatically, but if you end up with a sprite that has a lot of single color pixels and whatnot, you can load a palette into this tool and it'll combine everything for you.

Warning for performance issues if you're using a less powerful device. Overall, color converters won't be too nice to computers :P (mine didn't seem to struggle though)
Extra warning for a little bit of jank but it's easy enough to work around

I found this while picking up a sprite in sprite errors that had 100+ sim and many many colors and it helped me get it down to 13 colors lol

Beginner's guide to Shading with Spheres™: an approach to shading when you can't visualize light very well on a complex object such as a Pokémon

Keep in mind this is meant as a shortcut/trick to get you to be able to do a decent job of lighting a cartoony, simplified character using basic cell shading if you don't have a lot of experience doing that yet. It's not necessarily accurate to real life and I would still recommend practicing drawing shadow and light from real references if you want to actually get good at it. Certain designs will work better than other so your mileage will vary, but it will do an alright job on most "organic" creatures in the PIF gen5 Pokémon style

If discord is giving you an unreadable low res preview, you can download it locally to see it easier (happens on certain devices with large images)

[grim torrent]

I've decided to include the Shading Practice Ampharos™ to go along with the tutorial if you want to follow along at home
(I recommend doing a second shadow layer on top for this rather than drawing on him directly)

[vague pine]

Examples of what NOT to do, using Mild's child

1. Shading and lighting hugging the edges too much
2. Pillow shading
3. Doesnt follow shape contour
4. Shading changes with patterns

So you are frustrated because you can't make water blobs

What do I even say about this
I think you're overthinking it
Listen. Water is not that complicated. There's literally three steps to rendering. If you're complaining that it looks like some other substance like jello, it means you're doing it right and also your brain remembers that clear, flowing water does not arbitrarily form blue blobs in real life. The blue is sort of symbolism here. Just run with it.
The examples use a cube because cubes are way more simple to render. Only six planes and all that. There's an orb, too, for you people who think that having tons of tiny planes in your 3d shape is easier.
Additionally, there is a sheet of optional extra steps for when you want your rendering to look extra. Most of the time the only extra step I suggest is small white highlights, but do whatever you think looks good.
I don't know who needs to hear this, but I know someone needs to hear this:
Your water is good enough. Stop taking the liquid so personally

I am just a tired artist that already knows you can do this
If you were looking for bubbles, sorry, that was my other, more formal tutorial
