I made a picture using different materials in the terrain
Not much else to say so I'll just put a picture I made right here

    It's the best gray I could do :(
    Do you even see the notepad window open? That's what I see.
    It's not the same as the end result.

    Those are pretty cool!

    I'd ask if you could attempt the icons/portraits of Rathalos or Lagiacrus but they're pretty complex - even as icons xD

    As long as it's not too big. The render distance will unload the pixels too far away if too big. I can make the pixels smaller but they have a minimum size too. As for difficulty, I would rather write something to use an rgb palette or color dither than manually doing it.

    Render Distance..... That got me thinking, is that something that can be adjusted in-game? Having a shorter distance might help with performance for some people - even if just as a temporary and partial measure.

    Don't think so.

    Don't think so.

    Might be interesting if it was.... But it might cause problems of its own I guess.... Like a reaper popping into view before there's any real time to avoid it, and they're already quite good at that in the game's current state xD

    If you can find a more pixelated version of that image (it's ~200x200 atm) then I'm sure I can do it

    I can hook my 3DS capture software back up to my laptop then take a snapshot of my Monster Hunter game then upload that. Should be small enough then :3

    What would be a better size? 100x100, 50x50...? Smaller still?

    50x50. The only problem with resizing is when details are lost. I was hoping for a smaller icon already designed to be smaller like this:

    I did it on my phone using linux shell. You have to make sure its in NN and not AA or it blurs it.
    Blurring is bad for pixel art

    Ah I just scaled it down without checking the options, eep. NN - Nearest Neighbor?

  • nesrak1nesrak1 Places Join Date: 2016-12-04 Member: 224536Members
    AA is anti-aliasing and NN is nearest neighbor

    That's actually something that can be changed, although it's with a Debug Console Command instead of an actual game option (listed under "Technical" heading):

    FARPLANE [#]: Changes your viewing distance. 1000 is default.

    I've never used it personally, so I don't know if it stays active within the savefile, or if it affects new saves. You may have to turn on the code each time you play, but maybe that code can help improve the game's performance a bit. :)

    But does that affect terrain LODs?

    Farplane isn't really the same thing as overall render distance from what I've seen.

    @kingkuma I know this isn't exactly how you pictured it, but here it is through the color palette filter:
