Resolution Problem

[T-Pr]

Hi everyone. I'm making my game in 1024x768 resolution . But i make my background images from Google Sketchup and when i rendered it the resolution becomes 1916x878 . If i resize it with some programs to 1024x768 it becomes very narrow and doesn't look very good. Also character becomes bigger than some object when compared with original resolution.

If i import background in 1916x878 resolution , the room structure changes. I mean , we can see the left part of the room if we're in the left ,  when i go to right part of the room , right part occures slowly , i think you got what i mean. But if you play like this , we can't see the height of the background well for example ;

original ;





in game ;





Do any of you have any suggestions for making the game look better?

If you draw your background 1916x878, it won't look good in a 1024x768 game.

You need to decide on your game resolution, and then draw your art to match.

This definitely belongs in the beginners thread.

i have this problem since 2005 the first time i make a game in AGS(ps: i'm not 30 years old programmer just 15 years old teenager ) , but this is the first time i need to care about the resolution because i want this game to be the perfect in all ways.

Sure! HEY, I love your 3d work. Your very good at using SketchUp. I would encourage you to tech yourself about resolutions and aspect ratios. IF you are to build many awesome games through the years to come, then this is some general knowledge you cannot do without.

I found this with google for starters:

There might be a separate dialog box when rendering from your art program that can change your resolution.  When I use Flash I can set the document to a certain size (640 x 400, for example), but then when I export (the equivalent of rendering) the graphic as a PNG a dialog comes up that can change the final resolution (optional dpi, etc.).  If these numbers get changed they tend to persist (ie not default back to original settings) and it can throw all my art out of whack.  Something to check anyway, since it seems as if you think your draw program is changing the resolution on you.

Thank you both , i tried setting resolution from the program but it wasn't a succesful try .

I'll read that aspect ratio info , thank you both again .
