Eight-Bit Blending

Description

I started this blend just to explore rendering in a low resolution, low-bit, retro style for game development. I think that it has come along very nicely and I would like to share it with you all.

I used the Blender 2.63 r46584 Freestyle build from graphicall.org. You will need a Freestyle build for this to render properly.

I must conclude that using Blender for 2D sprite generation is an underused method of unlimited possibilities. I hope those of you who download this blend file share your improvements and derivative sprite generation methods for us all to learn from.

Good. I downloaded the Freestyle build from graphicall.org and when I hit render with the standard scene with the cube it looks the same, I am a little lost with so many options for freestyle render, is there a place where I can find some explanation?

This is pretty great. I wonder how you did the wind- eeVee's fur moves so well, very life like. Awesome job!

This may seem dumb, but I've been trying for about half an hour now to install Freestyle, how do you do it?

Hi. Sorry but you don't explain how to get the pixel look. Seriously it is important to know it I think, how do you achieve the pixel aliased style? Turning off antialiasing isn't enough.

Really cool, i could see this in game development.

I'm having the hardest time getting freestyle to work on windows 7. Tried everything that people have posted in the comments. Guess I'm just gonna have to wait.
