0 phoo Posted October 31, 2019 (edited) 31 minutes ago, Cut The Chit Chat YT said: scale down You can start by opening one instance of Paint.net by going to File->New then select the canvas size (the size of the texture or sprite you want). After doing so, you can open another instance of Paint.net of your image you wish to scale down. Use the "Rectangle Select" tool, followed by the "Move Selected Pixels" tool on your image. After doing so, copy it then paste it to your other instance of paint that has the properly sized canvas you defined. When Paint.net prompts you asking to keep the canvas size, say yes. From there you can resize and fit your image within that canvas. After you're satisfied with the image, don't forget to merge your layers! As an example, I used this method to make the following detail for a wall in my wad: 0 Share this post Link to post

0 Bauul Posted October 31, 2019 1 minute ago, Cut The Chit Chat YT said: @phoo what size do you suggest How big do you want it? If you want it to match the size of an existing Doom enemy (and want to maintain the same pixel sizes) I'd download Slade, open up Doom.wad or Doom2.wad and have a look at the dimensions of the existing sprites of whatever enemy you want to match. 1 Share this post Link to post
0 Gez Posted October 31, 2019 And don't forget about Doom's weird pixel ratio issue that annoys everyone since 1993: you need to scale the image vertically down more than horizontally. 3 Share this post Link to post
