Help with eePanels2 (Sizing Issue)

Levee · 03-27-08, 08:37 PM

Well, it's not so much a sizing issue per se.

What I'd like to find out is the exact relative resolution - i.e. the resolution to create art at while using a different UI scale.

I know that I can create a full screen panel with eePanels and then just check the height and width. But is there something that's a little more exact? I use dual-monitors, and I have to be very careful to not go off the edge of the screen, even in full screen mode. :/

I figured out what my problem was.
I wansnt using a POWER of 2 for my Artwork.... Thats why it wasnt posible to load it.

Just to be sure..
The Artwork can have x or y of the following resolutions 2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024px etc. Is that correct ??

Ok i have picked up some tips when using EEpanels.

when you make custom textures here is a small tip not to lose the rez and pixelate you work you have made in photoshop make the canvas size the power of two and not the actual image becuase then you will keep the image quality and still have the power of two from the canvas.

hope this helps some people

Close, but its power of 8

8 16 32 64 256 512 (1024 im not sure about this one, might be to large), and the image must be in the form of an UNCOMPRESSED .tga (a 512 X 512 square is about 1Mb)

No, it's a power of 2. 8 x 8 = 64, jumping over 16 and 32.
