A new regulation about rendering images?

[Antvasima]

DarkLK contacted me in private about that we should only allow rendering of images in which the character's full body is seen, as othervise the image looks bad in comparison.

What do the rest of you think?

 

[DontTalk]

If the image looks bad there should be not obligation to use it, but in general I would just let people use the pictures they believe to be most appropiate.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay.

 

[LordAizenSama]

Eh I don't think it's necessary. not all characters have that luxury and they still look fine to me, don't see anything wrong with this profiles pic

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. Thank you for the input.

 

[Professor_Voodoo]

Well it should take precedent but if there's no other way, (aka the pictures for full body renders having awful quality) then we should at least try to get a good quality render out of the deal.

This should maybe be a case by case thing?

 

[Antvasima]

Possibly, yes.

 

[Thebluedash]

I don't mind half body renders. They honestly don't look bad to me.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay. It seems like the staff wants us to gauge on a case-by-case basis then?

 

[Lina_Shields]

Hmm. I think that DarkLK may have a point there.

It's probably because using a half-body render without a background to show for it makes the character stick out like a sore thumb compared to the rest of the profile page. Keeping the background makes the said character blend into the environment he/she is in that specific image.

It's probably a design specific thing, but I am not sure.

That said, if you do have a full body crop of said character, that would be fine to use as a render. The background would probably be redundant in this case.

I don't feel like it's a big enough deal to make it a rule. Still, bad renders should be pointed out and replaced, yes.

 

[CrossverseCrisis]

I'm with Prom and Aizen here. I don't think there's really not that much of a issue to have a rule on this.

But Prom does have a point in at least pointing out any bad renders and replacing it with a better one.

 

[Lina_Shields]

Prom's suggestion seems okay. Let's go with that.

 

[Thebluedash]

I agree with Prom. No need to make a rule about this.

 

[Antvasima]

Okay, so how do you think that we should go about applying Promestein's suggestion? Should we make a new request thread for this, and link to it in the navigation bar, or just mention it somewhere in the regulation pages?
