Diamond and Emerald styled Material Dust

[Stein-N]

Hey first of all your work is fing awesome and a big thanks that we can use this textures in our projects <3

Would it be possible to get material dust in diamond and emerald design/colors?

Hello,

Apologies for the late response. It seems that by default, I was not receiving notifications on this repository and so did not receive an eMail that this had been posted.

I have just pushed commit a29f074, which includes a Diamond Dust, an Emerald Dust, and a Diamond-Emerald dust mix. Hopefully these suit your needs.

Best of luck with your projects!

Hey no problem like you said in your FAQ if it's free it's takes time :)

But for the textures they look great, but thought more likely about the shape as the material_dust_iron or the vanilla sugar for the "consistency" in shapes

I have been told that for particular types of colorblindness, sprites with the same shape can be difficult to distinguish, so I try to avoid uniform silhouettes. But as much as I like variance in silhouette, I also like the classic look for the dusts! Perhaps it's nostalgia!

Thus, I have just pushed 46ceee2, which includes diamond and emerald dusts with a more "classic" shape (but different surface detail).

It may interest you to know that simple recolors or repalettes can be performed from the command line, using ImageMagick. The syntax for a very simple palette swap using ImageMagick would be convert [ORIGINAL] -remap [SOURCE] [DESTINATION], where [ORIGINAL] is the path to the image to be transformed, [SOURCE] is the path to the image containing the palette you wish to use, and [DESTINATION] is the path of the output file. This is often good enough on its own, but also makes for a strong foundation for manual tweaking.

More information on automated remapping/repaletting/quantization in ImageMagick can be found here, but it's a lengthy read - ImageMagick is a very powerful tool!
