Create rotated directions...

[Solgryn]

is there any way that you can make MMF2 do pixelated rotations in the "create rotated directions"-option?

I mean no "smooth" look. just pixels :/ I hope you understand.

Make sure anti-aliasing is off, and you can use the set angle featutre with the quality set to 0.

Hi,
I have a related question about creating rotated directions. I am making a game that has a rotating spaceship. The problem is that when I create rotated directions, the ship looks pixelated and weird in all of the diagonal angled directions. I want the ship to look smooth (the same way it looks in the original direction) How can I fix this? Thanks,
Brett

Brett,.check Marvs examples pages. Page 8,.4th and 6th example. http://www.castles-of-britain.com/mmf2examples.htm

Hi,
I looked at the examples, but it still seems like the object looks pixelated when rotated. I would like the object to look the same when rotated as it does originally. How is this done?

Can you upload you mfa and I'll take a look at it.

Hi,
I posted an example in the file archive. Please let me know if you have any insight. The object looks good when facing right, left, up, or down, but anything in between it looks pixelated and not very professional. Thanks,
Brett

Just a note, you can upload attachments to any post in any forum now.

As for your problem, is anti-aliasing on? Also, you should not use the built-in directions for rotations. Just use the Set Angle action with quality 1.

Hi LB,
How do I turn anti-aliasing on or off? Will turning it off make the animation smoother? Also, you are saying that I should not use the "create rotated directions" in the animation editor, correct? I'll give it a shot and let you know what I find out. Thanks,
Brett

I realized I had one other question. If I don't use the "create rotated directions" in the animation editor, will the "spaceship movement" still work? Thanks,
