(Optional to read) How I ended up making this post.
I’ve just recently began uploading original clothing I’ve made for others to buy. Though, while advertising it, I had encountered one customer mention to me that my clothing was “low quality.” What they were referring to was my clothing being “pixelated,” or in other words, without being “anti-aliased.” I felt the need to explain why I made that design choice, but as they’ve never used any photo-editing software, it fell on deaf ears. This had me wondering if people liked clothing that used anti-aliasing instead, or whether it didn’t matter at all.
On the left is with anti-aliasing, on the right is without anti-aliasing.
Here’s a couple more examples:
My question is, what do you look for when creating/purchasing classic clothing? I want to get a somewhat general idea of what others may think. This will affect how I make clothing in the future.
I ONLY like anti-aliased clothing. (smooth lines)
I ONLY like pixelated clothing. (rigid lines)
I just buy clothing that I like, it doesn’t matter to me.
i would leave the choice up to you. whichever one is easier, and if you want to earn fat stacks or not.
i’m guessing roblox users prefer anti-aliased clothing over pixelated clothing because it looks more… cleaner to them, so keep that in mind
I’m not expecting much more of a response to this post, and I’ve made my decision on how I’ll be making clothing moving forward. For complex designs, using anti-aliasing is a hassle. Therefore, I will be using pixels (without anti-aliasing), and create a duplicate layer in which it blurs those same pixels that results in an effect I like a lot. I get the best of both worlds with this technique, though I believe I’ve seen this before on other users’ clothing. It’s not a ground breaking discovery, but I’m happy to have found a solution to my own problem.
As for the votes on the poll, it went about as expected. Hopefully I can get a couple more voters to give a more clearer answer, but it appears I already have one. Thank you all for the insight, and yes, this self-reply serves as a way to momentarily bump this post back to the top.
