Hi, I'm making a level and it has some holo animation from custom made stickers. However, since capturing does not allow grid restrictions, and scaling the sticker is also not grid based (placement is, but scaling isn't), I'm wondering if there is a pixel perfect method of placing the stickers in the very same spot at the very same size. I'm currently using some marker objects at the edges, it does help, but there's always that little judder in animation as there's a slight difference in sticker placement. Suggestions welcome! (My feature suggestion for MM would be capture object as sticker, with proper aspect and alpha transparency on object edges, instead of strictly a rectangular capture. We could then proceed to use sticker cutters on our holos for pixel perfect versions, however, a grid based scaling / placement of stickers would mostly be welcome, so we can use simple cubic objects for animation, to reduce complexity.)

You could automate part of the photo-taking process using Photo Booth cameras so the object is scaled equally in all stickers and so they'll all share the same coordinate when placed in grid mode. Place the sticker on a piece of material and scale the material instead of the sticker if it needs to be larger or smaller. Alternatively you could scale up each piece of material so you can place the stickers more precisely and scale them back down, if you haven't already tried that. Ideally the individual pixels that make up the sprite would be equal to or a multiple of a square in grid mode.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion! I did a brief test, can the photo capture object be coupled with movie cameras? I'd need them to look flat.

I did a succesful test using movie cameras. I set up the cameras and in the play mode, I begin taking screenshots by entering the screenshot action after pressing start, as I run along the level. I think of adding a controllinator to speed up the process even more.

Hi all, Inspired by Ayneh's comment, I came up with the pixel perfect method, and I am sharing the method with you as a level: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=58030-Pixel-Perfect-Sticker-Capture-and-Placement-(for-animation-and-pixel-art) Cheers!
