Note:

i would use Vector Graphics but i cannot figure out a way to load svg or even get thar svg to a ui.image or scene.Texture..

cvp

@stephen Nice pictures.

I guess that you know that you can display a svg in a WebView

import os
import ui
w = ui.WebView()
fpath = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/test.svg')
w.load_url('file://'+fpath)
w.present('sheet')

stephen

@cvp

yes my problem with that is i need them to be scene.Textures.. that way i can use them for modular animation

Drizzel

As far as I've understood, you want some design feedback on these graphics, right?
Did you design these graphics yourself? If not, this might be a bit too detailed, sry

General feedback

all designs are really well recognisable
every color scheme is good
not a single flaw in the perspectives
you repeat that they're icons. If they're going to be shown in a small size, they might be too detailed

Rune Stone

I love the design
if you want to minimalise it, get rid of the grey scratches (not the black cracks)

Common Sword

I dunno, but I'd assume that a common sword would neither have a gem inlay nor a fancy hilt and guard (after all it's a golden color)
if you want to minimalise it, get rid of the scratches.
the dents look awesome

Short bow

What you show here is a long bow, a short bow usually has a recurve in order to deliver greater power (check out recurve bows)
the wrapping fits the sword handle, nice touch

Attributes:

Amazing looking
already quite minimal, since there's no scratches
absolutely no more improvement suggestions

spell book icon

looks great
maybe a bit to detailed (depends on how large it is when shown in your rpg)
maybe add some shadows around the rune stones to add depth, they are weirdly flat right now

barrel

good color scheme, but I'd darken the wood colors to a walnut color, looks more aged interesting

mana potion

darken the cork, otherwise the design is great
no need to minimalise

health icon

too detailed, get rid of the "HP"
the ouch and scratches in the top left are a nice touch.
*maybe replace the patches with the scratches from the top left, and leave the top left empty

ruby garnets

look amazing, perspective is well done

stephen

@Drizzel THANK YOU this is exactly the kind of respone im hoping for from anyone who participates 😊🤓

ys im having to do all aspects of this game, programing, art, dialouge, quest lines ect... but on my way im going to also be giving back to the community "barebone" scripts to help others. like openworld even handler, quest system, combat system ect...

im going to look into your suggestions and ill post updated concepts for public reviewthank you!

##updated..

and the reason for some of the extra detail, not counting tiny scratches, is compensation for resizing they start out as 4000pxx4000px and after processing they end up around 150ptx150pt the process i use is actually prety effective heres a example of a 6kx6k down to 1kx1k

HD 6k to 1k

Did you draw them on an iOS device? If yes, which app did you use? I'm rather intrigued because Vectornator (what I'm using) is good, but certainly not perfect.

You can convert a sgv to an ui.Image via


import os
import ui

w = ui.WebView()
fpath = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/test.svg')
w.load_url('file://'+fpath)
w.present('sheet')

with ui.ImageContext(w.width, w.height) as ctx:
	w.draw_snapshot()
	ui_image = ctx.get_image()
ui_image.show()

stephen

@cvp dos this preserve alpha?

on iPad Air2
sketch
Draw
vectornator

most of it is hand painted and with Draw you can use brushes to draw vectors but vectornator give beter control of the vertices.. and the export scaling helps alot
y process for drawing usually goes...
Adobe Sketch ⇒ AdobeDraw for base structure
Adobe Draw ⇒ Adobe Sketch for detailing
Adobe Sketch ⇒ Vectornator for finalizing and export.

you can also save to creative cloud on vectornator to combine all three for pretty good workflow

No idea at all. I just thought a little time to find a solution svg -> ui.Image

stephen

@cvp thank you! when i get back to the animation system ill rewrite the texture cache and see if i can get that to work

all i get is a white rect from this 😕

cvp

@stephen For me it is ok for a static svg but white rectangle if animated svg, what you did not yet ask at this moment 🙄

cvp

@stephen UIWebView does not support animated svg but SFSafariViewController does

See my script and for instance

	main('https://codyhouse.co/demo/animated-svg-icon/index.html')

stephen

@cvp

here is the same file im testing with. and the mage should have transparency

cvp

@stephen increase the frame and it is ok

import os
import ui

w = ui.WebView()
w.frame = (0,0,500,500)
fpath = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/svg-test.svg')
#fpath = os.path.expanduser('~/Documents/test.svg')
w.load_url('file://'+fpath)
w.present('sheet')

with ui.ImageContext(w.width, w.height) as ctx:
	w.draw_snapshot()
	ui_image = ctx.get_image()
	ui_image.show()

stephen

@cvp

awesome didnt think about the frame. but sadely i seem to lose the alpha transparency. im sure i can go through the process of adding one but at that point id have to change format and then i lose the perks of vector graphics. plus id have to run the add alpha process to a library of images for the game and that seemsnlike a bad idea lol. thank you tho for checking it out for me 😊

cvp

@stephen transparency works

import os
import ui

v = ui.View()
v.frame = (0,0,500,250)
v.name = 'with or without opacity=0'

w1 = ui.WebView()
w1.frame = (0,0,250,250)
html = '''

@cvp ya you are creating the opacity programaticaly (if thats the right term here lol ) where in my image it is solid where it should have a 50% alpha that i set in third party editor.
