Repacement Images for Backgrounds/Bootypedia (Discussion)
« on: January 22, 2017, 09:55:58 am »
I've often looked at one of the pictures/images Dioxine uses for these and thought "Is there a Better Image for this Entry"

A while back, when Meredian introduced Custom pallets for the Pedia, I decided to make some for my copy for this mod.

While looking for images for my Siren Mod (Currently WIP), I found copies of some of the images Dioxine uses, and made better/custom pallet versions for myself.

Just thought I'd upload it to see if anyone is interested.

Dioxine - If you want to use my versions, feel free, just credit my work as usual.

Can't post all the images so I've just posted some - Will post the rest below.

Edit 04/02/17 : I Have Replaced the zip with a total version (all 3 mods in one Zip) Now at V1.1

Not bad, not bad...

As for the changed images (not just improved quality), I'm mostly neutral to the proposed changes, except the Provost: I really like the original picture way more. The new one doesn't convey her personality and identity at all, while the old one does it perfectly.

The images look alright, but I personally find it off-putting that you called your "high quality" rather than something neutral like "modified", or "proposed", or "new", or "mine", or "Roxis231".

Here are two criticisms.: Although your version for the first pictures seem to have more detail, I prefer the higher contrast of the originals. Your replacement for the synthmuscle picture doesn't look like synthetic muscles.

So what is her personality?
I never learned that...

Great work, Roxis!  I've been wanting to do this with the custom palettes for quite a while!  Great Start!  I'm definitely employing these!

Hmm  - Might change it to 'Improved' or 'Enhanced' then. (More likely 'Improved')

Also you don't have to use this if you don't like it.

My thoughts on the Original was "F*** It looks like a Middle-aged Paris Hilton, trying (and failing) to do a nude sceen, without reading the script while wearing NO makeup"

Yes I really don't like the old picture (or Paris Hilton) hence why I have replaced it.

Well to me it looks more like a replacement of (more or less) fitting pictures with random pinups, with the exception of Cybernetic Interface which I might adapt or seek a better one.

Not everything is supposed to look pretty.

Yeah, it's brilliant.

Really, do all women need to look like supermodels in chainmail bikini?  >:(

Image cannot show personality.
Personality is way more complex than what a single picture can possibly illustrate.

Btw. I agree with Roxis and will repeat myself from few months ago... that picture is, by far, the ugliest picture in this mod.

I made this JUST for me - I just posted it incase anyone wanted it.

I might split this into upgrade and replacements if enough people ask though.

No, they don't have to - I just don't like Paris Hilton.

Well, this reasoning I can understand. :)
(Though I don't even really know how Paris Hilton looks like, so I'm not commenting.)

Sigh... Do you really want me to quote dictionaries? Question my wording?

OK, personality perhaps wasn't the best word. What else should I use... Expressive? Conductive? Inspiring? I'm sure it doesn't really need to be explained, we are all human beings here.

Btw. I agree with Roxis and will repeat myself from few months ago... that picture is, by far, the ugliest picture in this mod.

And it's one of my favourites, it's interesting, non-trivial, not another bimbo. It has a message and I think it makes here attractive.

If Anyone thinks they have a better Image, post it and let's have a discussion.

Perhaps I should've mentioned that otherwise I really like your pics, they're nice and well-made. I just don't want that particular one replaced.
