Because for some strange reason they lag my computer when rendering. And there purpose is not for online sharing. Ask any web developer, large PNG's are bad.

It's true that web images should use gif and jpegs as they are small in size. Wallpapers and textures on the web can use the lossless png format. Png format is quite large and will take much longer to load than jpegs, which can cause people to lag. Consider others instead of only yourself.

Even wallpapers shouldn't be PNG's on the web. The ONLY reason to use a PNG on the web is for small graphics like buttons.

Fact: The human eye can't see the majority of the data from a PNG, JPEG's have all the colour data that is needed and that the eye can see.

People using PNGs are just being awkward for the sake of it, seeming as there is no actual advantage of using PNG's online. The ONLY advantage at all, which is a small one, is that the image wont blur SLIGHTLY due to compression, and you can't even see the blur.

The only way you will notice the difference between a PNG and JPEG is by putting them side by side. But that's the same as putting 30FPS video footage next to 70FPS video footage.

At 30FPS it is smooth, and it looks the same at 70FPS, until you put them side by side, then you see that 30FPS is slower...

Seeing as how PNG vs JPEG isn't hugely relevent to the topic...



Anybody? Maybe?

Desktop wallpaper you should use PNG's yeah, but not ON THE INTERNET... only in minor cases. JEPG's are fine for renders ect...

tbh, Regular PC>Alienware

A jpeg of an identical image will always load faster. Faster = better

JPEG took about 1 second, PNG took about 3. My internet is certainly worse than yours, at least twice so. Can we stop this and get back on topic?

I see a crappy model on both pictures.

Jk, but it's missing something.

@kronnix

the second image is quite literally over 30 times the file size of the first.

I like where this is going.

There is much more to show off but there is this dark side that keeps pushing through preventing me from releasing any updates to preserve the suspense.

Hello,
I have extracted the model of the plane "tornado 3" of Sonic Generations.
What about you if i put it on Halo ?

Render:

Ha that's neat.

@benjimod - f'ing PNG!

Not wasteing my time waiting for pointless data to be downloaded.

Into my Haloz, please. Are there any other aircraft in the game? You could rip them all and we could have dogfights. o.o

Those blue circles on the leading edges of the wings would be good for weapon nodes, perhaps using the top set of wings for the primary weapon, and the lower set for the secondary.

In this case I actually agree. It's a 1920x1080px image, and would be slow to load even as a jpeg.

When posting images on a forum, always DOWNSCALE them. Loading a ton of pointless data which then has to be auto-scaled by the forum; WITH loss of quality is ridiculous and annoying.

Higher res pls

Unforchantly the moderator/admin is too arrogant to reason with. The is NO reason what-so-ever that PNG's are needed to be used.

Let's have a look into PNG's


As you can see, the definition of PNG is Portable Network Graphics (transferring), so to transport images between two computers. Mainly so photographers can send an image to an editor without loosing any data, as PNG's do NOT compress the data.

Link


So, lets note down from the above quote that the human eye can see 2.38 million colors. Now lets see how much color data is included in making up a 24-bit PNG.

Link


Hmm, there is quite a difference right there. At least 14 million wasted shades of color, which is all saved in one single file. So please tell me WHAT IS THE POINT in filling my flash memory full of useless data which in turn slows down other processes.

Any good web developer will know that displaying large PNG's is utterly pointless and just down right awful. Now if this was a professional photography website then there is a purpose for PNG's but still NOT displayed directly, they would have a thumbnail saved as a jpg, and then a link to the large PNG which users can CHOOSE to download.

Love the png's and the fact that the moderator uses a chanter in the arrogant fasion :)
Nice extract too.

You are supposed to use jpegs as thumbnails, and the PNG as your click-to-view image.

"Are there any other aircraft in the game"

No, this game have only the tornado 3 :(
The Tornado have a transform in Sonic Unleashed only on xbox 360, i can't extract :(

And, What is the problem with my PNG ?? You need 5/4 seconds for the load ._.
Edited by benjimod on Jun 25, 2012 at 07:01 PM

Ah, that's unfortunate. If you get the Tornado 3 in-game, though, can you release the tags? I'd like to use it some time.

Funny, it took me over 10 seconds to load it. By waiting for 3 seconds I alt tabbed and almost forgot I was loading your pic to see what it was.
Edited by XlzQwerty1 on Jun 25, 2012 at 08:10 PM

Jerry , 10 seconds it's not the dead >_<

The next time, i resize the size -_-
Happy ?

And yes i release the tags and the model when i have finished.
Edited by benjimod on Jun 25, 2012 at 08:29 PM

Best solution, use jpg.

Thanks.

Does anyone know how I could link the troop bay doors of the Spirit dropship to the pilot's secondary trigger, so they could be opened in mid-flight?

3-4 seconds? Im sorry, but it was taking more than 10 seconds to load, why the hell should I wait that long for simple RIPPED content to load? It's not even yours... so why do you deserve my bandwidth for something, YOU did not make?...

Low Bandwidth, Sorry

Now stop please, just for a PNG too higher

For Echo 77: A vehicle on Extinction can open the door with the right click
It's all i know :/
Edited by benjimod on Jun 26, 2012 at 12:23 AM

I have unlimited, but I do not like to waste my time and RAM on pointlessly LARGE (in resolution AND file size) images that are simply RIPS...

Because the internet doesn't revolve around your standards and expectations. I like the biplane, and I don't have a problem loading the image, so it doesn't matter where it came from, as long as I'll be able to use it at some point.

Ok (:

Ah
Edited by benjimod on Jun 26, 2012 at 12:34 AM

PLEASE just take JPG into consideration.

You know what would be funny? Altering a PNG to be 100'000 pixels wide, and so tall.

And then spamming it. Instant ban!
