Dynamic sprite resize and blur?

[Knox]

Hi,

Im currently resizing dynamic sprites with the resize function but I feel the quality seems a bit "choppy" compared to if I did it in photoshop. I know I can just save an additional sprite with the resized one from photoshop, but Id rather save memory by redrawing + resizing than save a 2nd load of sprites, resized.

Is  there a way in AGS to somehow "mimic" the resizing of images in photoshop where it seems its much smoother/blurry than the AGS resize?




**EDIT**
Does this have something to do with this thread?

I think photoshop uses a filter of some sort. As far as i can tell that is. Some kind of an anti-aliasing. While AGS directly resizes the image in the same way MS Paint does. Perhaps  drawing as well above the resized sprite a blur/mosaic transparent filter?

Fun fact: I started writing a module for rescaling DynamicSprites using filters. Blurry resizing is sort of all set; transparency is still an issue though.

I'll put the function/module up here when I get home unless someone's faster

YAY!! That is so great Khris!! . I wanted something like that for my game, to get rid off of some tedious work.

Nice Khris! Man oh man this will save so much work

You should also post your paypal information so people can forward you some $$$...

Hehe, that's actually not a bad idea

Anyway, the module is done:
