exciting news, friends! this week Amanda discovered that the middle placement of bmps on both balls and paintballs is decided by the bmp size if we set the size correctly, which we can do in the texture list!
currently in the .baby file lnz, we have our texture list set up like this:
PATH\TEXTURENAME.bmp 0 256 256
and we all sort of collectively thought the 256s were because there are 256 colours. as it turns out, the 256s are the HEIGHT AND WIDTH of the bmp. the bmp will be placed on your ball/paintball from the middle out as if the size is 256, so if we use a 256x256 square bmp then we can place designs in the middle of the bmp!
reminder: we know from ɾiley 👾's tutorial that we want designs to be the middle of bmps so that they don't wriggle - and also that we want the top of hair strands to be in the middle so they move smoother.
here's something else cool, though - we don't have to use 256! we can set other sizes. so i've made 32x32, 64x64, 128x128 and 256x256 bases. here's a test baby demonstrating those sizes:
& her texture list looks like this:
as you can see, the 256 size is limited by the maximum ball size. 128 is only one pixel smaller than the max, so we should be able to use that a lot to use smaller bmps!
here are the bases:
it doesn't matter what size your ball or paintball is set to, the middle will always be the middle if you set the texture size. so just use the smallest one you need and experiment. have fun!
