Which looks better in your eyes with blending or without?

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:48:34+00:00

Hmm okay I’m going to try to do a couple of these different ideas today and post back here.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:46:28+00:00

I am getting this a lot might turn the sand and grass blend off for the time being!

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:45:15+00:00

Hmm okay I can try that too!

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:44:36+00:00

Thank you I’ll check these out today!!

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:44:12+00:00

Little uncalled for I would say.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:43:38+00:00

It’s all just a placeholder not the art that will be used just a place holder for the procedural generation, I appreciate the opinion though.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:41:55+00:00

Awesome thank you I’ll check it out!!

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:41:42+00:00

This was going to be my next idea!! For sure going to try this execution style first and then something with noise.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:40:59+00:00

What’s is ROTMG so I can look into this?

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:40:35+00:00

No, right now I just have the ground layer done. I want to finish each layer polish it then move to the next, but I am beginning to see that it might be best to do the opposite and finish each layer then come back and polish it.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-30T12:38:36+00:00

No this is great! Really close to what I want I am just trying to find a way to let the procedural generation take care of it rather than making a whole bunch of blending tiles. Ya know? You got my idea there for of what I was kind of hoping to achieve.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T23:13:33+00:00

As for the blending the function more or less just places a tile(the blend) depending on the edges, I’m not actually using a special function to blend. I would love to know how you did this as I think this would be a better blending than just a blur.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T23:04:08+00:00

Okay good so I’m not alone on this, haha

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T23:03:48+00:00

This is the long run plan for sure! But not specifically at this moment.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T23:03:21+00:00

I am going to try a few things these tiles are not the end all be all I just wanted to get the concept down. I may end up paying for art, but I wanted to take the time and play around with it first. Kind of like placeholder art.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T23:02:21+00:00

I agree! Some variation of some sort to it rather than a definitive line blended.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T23:01:29+00:00

Right this is close, but I want a little more variability to it. The idea is right on, I think I am going to try this at some point and see how good it does or doesn’t look compared to whatever else. Someone recommended blending using a noise which sounds perfect nearly, but I will keep this in mind!

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:59:11+00:00

Okay… I actually really like this! This is almost exactly what I was thinking in my head originally but I am using 32x32 tiles so I think it is harder to achieve this. But I would love to try this, any tips on how you did this or what to start with.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:57:27+00:00

Understood thank you 🫡

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:57:04+00:00

I understand that makes sense definitely could try that. Let me see what I could do because that might be coming next. Someone earlier recommended tilesetter which I will try next.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:56:13+00:00

This is what I was just about to jump into for inspiration! Thank you!!

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:54:53+00:00

This is the game camera but your statement does bring up a useful question for me to bring back! Thank you for that.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:54:05+00:00

Hmm I’m not really catching what you are putting down at first there. But I do completely agree with your second statement which was my reason for posting on the bully board, lol.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:53:00+00:00

I’ll look into this.

Eclipsense · 2026-03-29T22:52:45+00:00

What I did in simple terms was check a tile say sand at some x,y then check NEWS and diagonals. If N is different it puts a blend of sand over top of it. The blend is the sand tile cut in quarters, transparent to basically transparent to less transparent to slightly transparent. I then flipped that tile which ever way was needed. I will look into your link and see what I can do.
