Scales - Mars - 03-26-2010 Hi everyone. I'm new so take it easy on me Anyway, I found this sprite: http://www.bogleech.com/youkai/youkai-mermaid.gif and was wondering if anyone knew a good way to sprite scales like that? I've tried to find a pattern but it looks so random. RE: Scales - Gors - 03-26-2010 To make fish scales, you'll have to study how the scales are placed on a fish. disregard all the Portuguese writings As you can see here, the scales are round, and placed in a relatively regular pattern: they overlap themselves, forming those small rhombs. Since the sprite is usually small, it's represented by a checkered pattern. Also, notice the scales are shiny. RE: Scales - Cobalt Blue - 03-26-2010 for a sprite of that size, the scales would end being a simple texture of smaller shinny surfaces as gorsal pointed. be sure to make said shinny as subtle as posible.
