What size should your assets be? | HD 2D GAME ART

[@ownedcoot1046]

This is by far the best explanation I have seen on this topic. Amazing work!

[@TetsuDeinonychus]

It's really nice to see a video like this about HD 2D graphics. So many videos about 2D game graphics focus on pixel art and while that can be a very cool esthetic (though the pixel-art I like to see is still fairly hi-res and detailed) it's not the only way for 2D games to look, and not the (default) look I want for my fighting game. The tips in this video seem very useful and relevant and should come in handy for my project.

[@Nonsensical2D]

This is possibly the question I get asked most often, and I've been moderately unsure on how to cover it. So this is mostly an engine-agnostic beginners overview of some terms and concepts that you might want to be familiar with, so that you can look up the specifics in relation to your engine. This means that I made a considerable amount of simplifications and I didn't go too much into specifics relating to different platforms or hardware. As mentioned, hopefully I didn't make any mistakes, but if I did, please write down in the comments and I'll try and pin a correction. Ohh, and whether you shoot for 4k or not will be up to you, the safest bet is to probably make your assets fit 4k even if you don't make your game in 4k. I mostly stick to 1080p when working on my game because I usually start my scenes fairly unoptimized and in 4k my computer will have trouble running. I generally don't think people would buy or not buy your game based on it not being 4k anyway...

[@Roxor128]

@@shonmacklin9613 Digital images aren't continuous, they're made of lots of discrete patches of colour. For a traditional art comparison, think of a painting versus a mosaic. The resolution is the number of mosaic tiles horizontally and vertically that make up the image. More tiles let you have more detail, but it'll take longer to put together. The tiles don't have to be square, but they usually are, just for convenience.

Your "generally" sounds so cute

[@IraKane]

You are totally right and it is important to have in mind everything you said. When you desing graphical asset packs as a general thing for anybody to use, it is even worse. You cannot anticipate what potential uses each indivisual developer is going to think of for all the sprites you create. In this case I guess the best bet is the general rule of thumb you mentioned, create the assets at 2x the estimated needed resolution. And for the dpi of the images, on one hand makes no sense to make 300 dpi images for screen content, but on the other hand there's no downside(as far as I know) on the performance of the game and you may want to use some of the images for printing in the future. Thanks for keep on creating cool content😁

[@HomeFrogGames]

I've come across your channel these past few days and found so much useful information! Also I like your style quite a bit. I've done several games on Dreams and have been learning Unity, Procreate and a bit of Blender. But I want to make some of my own game art going forward and not use assets as provided in some of the tutorial material, and these type of questions like you tackle here in the video are just not something you came across much in Dreams. New subscriber here and I look forward to more videos from you. I'll try to memorize the 2x larger size as a general rule but also remind myself that the answer to a lot of use cases is "it depends".

[@Anerisian]

Great video. Here is a simple wotkflow to do sizes: make a mockup of your desired screen in Unity. 1. Figure out what 1 unit in unity should represent. Generally, that‘s one tile or 1 meter, or something sensible. 2. mock up a example screen in unity. Put a square sprite (right click in project > 2D > sprites or something), or cube 1 unit large, and put some crude or found sprites also representing some elements you plan to have, e.g. player character. Tweak this so that the cube has the right size given your intended camera settings. 3. then, in your graphics tool, load your mockup screenshot and scale it to the desired pixel size, e.g. 4K. Now you can measure the cube what you would need to set in the sprite setting for how much pixel per unit. Say, the cube is 128 or so. Thus to cover 1 unit in unity, your sprite must be 128 pixel. If a tree is 3 units high, that‘s 3x128 = 384. This gives you both the resolution for the sprites, and the asset sizes.

[@AtticFail]

wow that was actually so well explained, perfect! Thank you so much!

[@bakedbeings]

The improvement in upscalers can be a help to artists now. You're freed to work closer to your target res, which helps to avoid over-detailing, and when/if you need higher resolution (for app stores, promotional materials, future ports to 4K) the upscaler can resize it while maintaining crisp lines/features 👍

Ye I kind of feel the same to some extent. I've read a lot about it and been doing it for quite a while (and have some background in adjacent stuff), but it feels to some extent like there are no videos or texts covering it at all, which is why I felt the need to at least cover the basics for those who are real beginners to game dev and programming (because it can be a bit overwhelming). With that said I know my management of it is suboptimal, but it works, and that feels kind of like the indie dev motto.

Thanks for this! - You made a good point with the size. Especially if you add your art to other things like YT Videos

[@95mcqueen5]

Your channel has been helping me a lot with technical stuff like that. I have two questions. So basically, whenever I want to have a large image (say, a 600x400 house) I break it down to pieces, like doors, windows, roof and walls and assemble them together to get a better performance? And also, do pixel art games have a better performance just for the files being very small?

[@Nonsensical2D]

I would assume that in order to get absolute best performance you would break it into pieces and then stick all the pieces in a sprite sheet and then make your house using tiles (you would probably end up with the least memory usage and only one draw call this way). But you don't always need to go for best performance, I rarely do. I tend to start with the method I am the quickest with, and if I need to improve performance, then I do it. If your house is almost perfectly one nice square building, then just placing it as one big picture is going to have very similar performance to placing it in a sprite sheet, and if your size is 600x400 then that is a fairly small size to begin with (less than 1 MiB i think) so I doubt breaking it down into pieces would even net you a significant performance boost. Ye, pixel art is significantly easier to run well because of file sizes :) it also tends to be significantly smaller size for the entire game as well, Iconoclasts is like 160 mb for the entire game, whereas GRIS is 3.4 GB, even though gris is probably a shorter game :)

[@vasanthsarathy8476]

Amazing video and amazing channel. I love procreate and I am beginning game dev looking to use it for game art. I get the relative sizing notions, but what I’m a bit unsure about is tilesets. Do you make individual tiles in procreate or do you design the whole level in procreate and then transfer it to Godot and use Godot’s tilemap node to break it up into reusable tiles. Similarly for other assets, like say a tree, do you draw the whole tree on procreate and then use Godot to split the tree up into bark tile and top tree, allowing you to construct trees of different heights. Or do you just build the tiles individually in procreate?

[@Nonsensical2D]

I always tend to start by 'grey boxing' in Godot. So I'll make all my tiles and try and see if I like it gameplay-wise way before I do any art (and I generally recommend to do this, gameplay is always more important than art). I then tend to screenshot my tile map and throw it into procreate and draw a rough composition ontop of that screenshot (a 20 minute rough sketch). From that point I kind of know what assets to make. If I make a tile map I always start making all the tiles in the same document in procreate (using a grid overlay), I then make a tiles from those tiles, copy those over to Godot and then 'replace' the greybox with the 'pretty tiles'. For background and foreground especially I never personally use a tile map. I just place individual assets, it's worse for performance, but significantly easier to make it look good. This quite often happens for my playable area as well, I often just place assets free floating on top of the grey box, though I do not recommend doing this (it is worse in every single way except I find it easier to make look good). If we are talking making platforming trees, I do recommend splitting it into tiles just as you would with any other asset. This means building the tiles in procreate, but as if they are tiles, so that you can split them easily into Godot. It's difficult to say which approach will be the best for you, I have switched approach a couple of times during my development, but I do think the best approach is to make whatever you have in procreate be extremely easy to port and use in Godot. You might start out with what you are comfortable with when drawing (so that might be a whole tree), but eventually you will have to come back and draw your assets in procreate, and you generally want it to be very easy to polish a thing in procreate, and have that update in Godot seamlessly, which means you probably eventually want to have a sprite sheet of some sort in procreate.

for me it has happened on more than one occasion that I realise I actually need higher resolution for an asset, and its obviously quicker to just be able to change it in engine. And you might have to tinker with the build depending on the platform and such in the future and then needing to adjust the textures in the engine anyway, so I have personally gone with making my project more versatile and placed changed everything in engine.

Hey hey, thank you very much for the video! Very nice and informative.. Was wondering if you're using a script when making the video, I'm thinking about doing a few myself on programming :D

[@Nonsensical2D]

Yes, everything is scripted, pretty much every single word is said as written. I used to memorise each line and then say it, but nowadays I use a teleprompter and actually read from the script when speaking (you can sometimes see my eyes scan when speaking). I think whether a script will be good for you or not kind of depends on what kind of person you are, I don't really like speaking off the cuff in a video, because there is a high risk I get sidetracked or explain a concept suboptimally. But the downside is that a script generally takes time, a lot of time. 1000 words are about 5 minutes for me, so on occasion I can sit with scripts that are 4-5k long, which is like a decently sized essay :)

[@FelipeNecro]

Hi! Great explanation! I have one question. You mentioned that your animations were made in 4k, but the character is 256x256 in-game. So, how did you scaled it down without messing with its details/contours? In Unreal engine I know there is a "pixel per unit" parameter we can use to re-scale the sprites. I've tried it and could scale down a ~1000x1000 px sprite to have the same height as a ~256x256 px without loosing definition. While trying to rescale the original one either on procreate or libresprite to have 256 px hight it lost definition. However, I am not sure if changing the "pixel per unit" parameter would have impact on the gpu performance: e.g. would it require the same ammount of processing as working with the original 1000x1000 px file? Or it would required less processing?

[@envilonscript]

Great video! :)

[@chinkram]

I love ur videos so much

[@ThisIsFez]

My png exports which are in png tend to lose quality (gets all jagged and looks pixilated) when i scale the down in Godot from adobe illustrator. what do you think is the ideal way of exporting them to maintain clean edges. I use compatiblity mode with opengl 3.3 on intel (R) HD graphics 405. My export setting are set for art sampling to check anti aliasing and all

[@Parwitch69]

So if I plan to use 256 pixels wide in game, I should draw at least at 512 pixels wide to be save. But when scale down, should I scale it back to 256 pixels then import to game engine or import the 512 one and let game engine scale it down?

[@amandaslough125]

Another comment he replied to is scaling it in the game engine. Cuz he usually needs the higher resolution for the asset and the engine works fine doing the hard labor.

[@shadowofregret1317]

Can you do a video on the software you use to import your assets.

[@ovi1326]

about the draw calls thing - vulkan/dx12/metal/wgpu make draw calls cheap and there's no magic unloading and reloading textures like in opengl.

[@Shadowthevampire]

So what do you do when you make your mishroom charakters or trees do you take a procreate canvas and put to those exact pixels and draw it or do you draw it twice as big and thrn shrink it down? Im also using procreate and your gane art looks good nor blurry and I just wanna know more detailed hoe you do it because I can never get my assets right just making le quit multiple times over.

[@Nonsensical2D]

I make a ballpark estimate of the size and try to make it like 5-10% bigger at most (unless I do twice the size). But focus first on making it not blurry. I know when I used to use unity (I don't know if you do) that I had trouble with some import settings that made my assets blurry even if they were the correct size, but it was truly a long time ago so I can't remember what the issue was at the time. But if the asset looks good and not blurry as a PNG, then it should look good in game as well (assuming correct size) and if it doesn't, it is probably due to some import setting or lossy compression that is causing the issue (this could happen in any engine you are working in, be it gamemaker, unity, godot etc)

[@MrAlexPoling]

Great video. Thank you! As for DPI, is there a standard for 2D game art? I've seen some sprite sheets from random games and they all tend to have significantly lower DPI and still generally look pretty good. That said, standard for print is 300. I've been doing 300 for my assets but haven't gotten into Engine yet. Should I aim to reduce DPI for future assets? Another person in the comments said DPI won't significantly affect performance via a game engine. What are people's thoughts on that? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks.

Why would you use 300DPI when a video screen (all of them) are only 72 to 96 dpi? You don't understand DPI and confuse it with resolution!

[@MakeItThink]

Nice Video! How do you handle the 2x rule in Unity? How do you reduce the sprite size? With "Pixels Per Unit" in the sprite import-settings or are you scaling the Transform-Component? And what orthigraphic size are you using, because this should match to the pixel per units, shoud'nt? I have the problem when I import a sprite and scale it down, than it looks pixaleted / jagged. I'm using hand drawn art like you.

[@Nonsensical2D]

Hi, I don't know if you have read it yet, but there's a really good blog post that covers a lot of what you are asking called "choosing the resolution of your 2D art assets" on the unity blog. making it 2x as I described mostly refers to making the sprite, the exported sprite tends to be good to keep at around the size you need it for (because of performance issues). As far as I recall changing PPU or scaling the asset shouldn't make that big of a difference. I'd check the blog post, just search for the title in google, I haven't personally worked in unity for the past 3 years, so I can't recall orthographic sizes and such, sadly. Hope it helps and good luck! Edit: I realized now that maybe you were referring to 2^n, from what you are describing do you mean that you actually want your asset size to be say 400 pixels, but you try to fit it to 512 and then scale it down, so now it looks off? If scaling it down makes the asset look pixelated even though it has more than enough pixels it could be because of filtering methods or anti-aliasing, generally you want to adjust the size so that it is a closer match to what you need, but it sounds as if you have done that. So trying something like mipmaps or changing filtering methods could help. mipmaps will make the same asset visible in different resolutions basically (will make the texture size slightly larger, but performance and quality can definitely be improved). Here it would probably be good to keep the texture size at 2^n Another potential option nowadays is to keep the size uneven anyway, you don't need to do 2^n for all assets if you are running into trouble with it, and if you fit it into a sprite sheet but keep the sprite sheet at powers of 2 then I don't think it actually matters (this could be less beneficial if you actually want to use mipmaps and stuff).

[@MakeItThink]

@@Nonsensical2D Hey thank you for your detailed answer. I know the blog and I tried a lot of different settings, inport sizes etc.. I think the mipmapping is too much for my game. Its true, that the 2^n-rule dont effect anything. As far as a noticed. I think its all about finding the right balance between blurry sprites and too sharp sprites, which can look jaggy. And when you look close to other professional games, some sprites and textures are also a little bit blurry or jagged. Thank you and keep going

I made a 1920x1080 canvas then i made a new project 32x32 to make the player when i copy pasted the 32x32 into the 1920x1080 it did not scale properly....it got way to small...what to do about this? Everywhere on the internet they say to make 8-16-32-64 for sprites and 1920x1090 for the canvas/gamewindow so what am I doing wrong..my player is microscopic....

Are you using unity? Cause you have a measurement setting in unity, measured in units. And then you also have a pixels per unit setting. It is possible that your ppu or unit size of your character is really tiny. (Assuming you use unity)
