So, some people were trying to do pixel-perfect sprites in the BGE awhile ago, but ran into some roadblocks. However, Blender can do quite a bit, and so I wrote a quick little mini-tutorial on creating pixel-perfect sprites in the BGE. You can find it <a href="http://blenderartists.org/forum/showthread.php?227805-Mini-Tutorial-About-Pixel-Perfect-Sprites-in-the-BGE">here</a>.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5540340668858020212-4825257618301350708?l=solarlune-gameup.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div> <p><a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G1Op5bnxRJrVpOrNgODaFUEOwUc/0/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G1Op5bnxRJrVpOrNgODaFUEOwUc/0/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a><br/> <a href="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G1Op5bnxRJrVpOrNgODaFUEOwUc/1/da"><img src="http://feedads.g.doubleclick.net/~a/G1Op5bnxRJrVpOrNgODaFUEOwUc/1/di" border="0" ismap="true"></img></a></p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GameUpGameDevelopmentBlog/~4/r2fBPUyY7A0" height="1" width="1"/>SolarLunenoreply@blogger.com0http://solarlune-gameup.blogspot.com/2011/08/mini-tutorial-pixel-perfect-sprites-in.htmltag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5540340668858020212.post-65647432754247450352011-08-10T20:07:00.000-07:002011-08-10T20:12:46.823-07:002011-08-10T20:12:46.823-07:00Hey. So, I've started a helper and tutor service for those who want to learn how to use the BGE and Python.
