Astra - BG Styles (Vote Your Preference!)
Added 2021-04-23 12:02:21 +0000 UTCHello Patrons,
Happy Friday!!!!!! Hope everyone is having a fantastic week so far. In our last update post, we mentioned that there is two BG styles we are bouncing around right now and today we want to get your thoughts on what you think, if they can co-exist, and if not, which is your preferred style. So without further delay, let's get into the two styles!
We have one BG with the same 'scene' so you can get a direct comparison and then we have another BG for each to show its specific style in its own unique environment:
City (Ground Level - Night)
STYLE 1
STYLE 2
Lounge (STYLE 1)
Park (STYLE 2)
Your preference will greatly impact the direction we decide to take with Astra's backgrounds! Please feel free to vote for which option best describes your thoughts as well as share any feedback as comments below.
Looking forward to seeing what our communities view on this is! Thanks for your continued support and have a great weekend. ;^)

I almost went with option 3. But style one looks so good too! I think both can definitely work and I don’t necessarily have a preference of one over the other. Both look amazing and I can’t wait to see them in action!

2021-04-25 11:21:00 +0000 UTCStyle 2 looks very good for night time, 1 looks very simple in contrast to 2. Park looks a little odd but on the right track (less darks in seats and other objects, way less bright lights), but city hits it home. The realistic feel makes it the obvious choice

2021-04-23 22:41:27 +0000 UTCStyle 2 works great for the low-light environment of the first place, but not so much for the well lit park area, since the very strong bloom effect would normally make fine details hard to see, and so the contrast is cranked up to rather intense levels.

2021-04-23 15:01:59 +0000 UTCI personally like both styles and I think using both would add a greater feel of variation and individuality to different areas. They could even show the place at different times of day. I'm sure it will be great no matter what direction it goes in but thats just my thoughts.

2021-04-23 13:17:19 +0000 UTCI agree with that. And I'm very glad to see that the Park background from ACE won't make another appearance. Geez, I hated that thing...

2021-04-23 12:14:09 +0000 UTCI feel a difference between the two for the city at night, but when I see the separate areas, it's...less obvious? I feel like Style 2 works better for outdoors, with the flared light, and Style 1 works well for indoors since the light feels slightly muted imo.
