So, recently, I had an idea. One that I know I'd never be able to complete, but I still did a bit of it.
That idea was an entire texture pack modified to be useful for making pixel art.
In the picture you see above, you may note that I made an entire iron ingot from this, from a variety of different shades of black/white. It's a proof of concept that the idea works, and that it could be quite useful when complete.
However, should anyone want to take up the burden of this project, they must consider a few things:
1. Unusable blocks. Things like fences, half slabs, and stairs are clearly unusable due to their size, but there are other things that could be useless too, like the note block, which can be difficult to place on its self, or the dispenser block that reuses the textures from the furnace.
2. Reused textures. If you take a look at the bookshelf block, you'd know that the tops and bottoms are reused, so that makes the bookshelves unusable in a flat plane, rather than a vertical view.
3. Lights. If you have lights on your pixel art, you might want to note that the transparent blocks can, and should be, made completely invisible, but not the opaque ones, since they would create an X-Ray effect. Glowstone and torches are transparent, so if you made those textureless, one could easily light up their pixel art with no textures in the way.
4. Particle emissions. Only really caused by torches and redstone (including ore), it's a small thing to consider.
5. What colors to actually get, and how to shade them. If you'd look at my second picture, you'd see that I had a whole scale of gray colors for the first row, allowing for easy identification, but my second row was a little screwy, as I played with the saturation and visibility of the reds. If you don't know how you want to do it, I'd just make the colors always fade to white.
6. The base colors you add in. Black, White, Brown, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, Purple, and Magenta are the obvious choices, but you can decide what you want to have.
So, with that, anyone want to take up this idea?
