Decoration images
Hey! Thank you so much for uploading better-quality images of the Decorations from The Wind Waker. We really needed them! :) Dany36 17:24, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello there. Oh, it's no problem at all. I just hope I'm doing a good job. To be honest, the images are the easy part, but formatting the pages is a nightmare. =[ Minion 17:59, 30 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, you're doing a great job. :) Don't worry too much about the formatting. As long as the content is there, then the formatting is the least of our problems since formatting is easy while writing content or getting pictures up isn't. :D Dany36 18:40, 30 May 2010 (UTC)

Images
Hey man, just wanted to say... Great Images!!! I saw those ones of Purlo and the three girls outside his game. Amazing! Thanks for uploading them. By the way, do you have Skype? You should join us in our public Skype chat. Mases 11:34, 26 August 2010 (EDT)


 * Thank you for the compliment. ^_^ Actually, I think the Purlo render and screenshots are the only decent ones. The lighting is screwed up on the others. Oh well, everyone's gotta start somewhere. I do have it, but I'm not sure how much you'd get from a guy living in the Middle East. Opposing timezones are a pain. Still, it sounds interesting. 14:29, 26 August 2010 (EDT)


 * So those new versions of the TP ending screenshots are INCREDIBLE! I was wondering if you could get a better screenshot of this one: http://zeldawiki.org/File:Tp_lightarrow2.jpg I love that image but unfortunately the scene got blurry right then. :( And it would also be even more amazing if you could perhaps get a nonblurry one of this one as well? Keep up the great work with those images...I'm loving them! :D Dany36 15:21, 27 August 2010 (EDT)


 * I'm glad you like them. ^_^ Sure, I'd love to fire more arrows at Ganon's head to get to that scene. And don't worry, I was planning on replacing the rest of the screenshots by tomorrow. I noticed that the top-left portions of your images were blurry. I also like how you forced the game into widescreen and squashed all the characters. =P I don't think you're taking many GameCube screenshots anymore, but if you'd like, I can help you fix your settings. 15:43, 27 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Nah I'm pretty much done with taking TP screenshots...the game runs too slow for me (at an incredible 0% in Hyrule Field), so yeah. :P And I have no idea why the top-left portion of the game would always look blurry. Ah well, I'm glad someone is fixing them now! Dany36 16:57, 27 August 2010 (EDT)

Categories
I've noticed you've been categorizing pages quite a bit. I just thought I'd point out a handy template, Template:Cat. It saves quite a bit of typing and can auto-sort most templates correctly without having to specify any letters at all. For non-template pages in the main namespace it just really saves you a bit of typing. 21:17, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Nintendo Gallery
Hey, Minion. I've been looking at your Sandbox and your plans for the Nintendo Gallery look GREAT. I really think the page needs an overhaul and I'd love to help out if you need an extra hand. I'm okay with doing boring repetitive tasks so I think I'm right for the job :P However, I won't be able to get you some high-quality figurine pictures simply because I don't know how to do it...Unless you tell me your secret to getting such awesome renders. Just asking... If not, I can stick to grinding through descriptions and whatnot, or whatever it is that needs doing. Of course, if you don't want help at all, that's alright too... Whaddya say?

 * I'd actually forgotten about that project until I read your post in Castle Town 5 minutes before you wrote here. I have quite a few edits saved on a notepad file which I just found, so if you'll let me update my Sandbox, I'll let you help with the coding. (I originally planned to have scrollable tables, but on second thought, it wouldn't really be efficient)
 * The main reason I never finished the project was because of the lack of good-quality figurines. However, I've recently learned a technique that produces amazing renders. Basically, I run the game on an emulator at high resolution (1920x1080), turn the graphics settings to the max, take a screenshot and render the image using the pen tool in Photoshop (similar techniques can be done in other programs). If you want to help with the images, I can send you a pack of screenshots tomorrow and let you do some rendering.
 * I find it awesome that we both thought of the same thing. Feel free to do what you want on my sandbox, and don't hesitate to ask for anything. 13:22, 4 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Great! Go ahead and send me the screenshots, I'll do what I can.
 * Hm, HD emulators eh? That's what I thought... Hylian King 14:19, 4 September 2010 (EDT)

Hey Minion, it's been a while since we've talked, and I was wondering there was anything else I could help with? If not, I understand...

Just to clarify, did you plan on getting new images for all the figurines or just the ones that didn't have any? I'd get some screenshots myself, but my computer doesn't have the muscle to run a GC emulator :( Hylian King 21:10, 11 September 2010 (EDT)

Actually, scratch that. After many hours of trying to figure it out, I finally got the emulator to work well enough to take screenshots! They aren't nearly as nice as yours, though. They don't have that glossy look to them and they look too sharp. Oh well. I've updated the Zephos and Cyclos Figurine picture using my screenshot, so if you wanna check it out I'll leave it up to you to decide whether or not my screenshots are of any use :P Hylian King 15:06, 12 September 2010 (EDT)


 * Sorry for not responding. I've been busy with TOEFL preparations these past few days and didn't have access to my regular computer. I probably should have told you sooner. I will provide you with another pack of images by tomorrow. I'm not sure if you know how to use the pen/path tool, but I want you to try using it once. Not only is it quicker than erasing manually, it can easily follow the lines of the figurines and create nice crisp lines. The new image has pixelated edges, yes, but SOME transparency is better than nothing for these things. You should keep them until we can replace them with something better. Also, the glossiness is added after the image has been taken. Try turning up the contrast/brightness, and play around with curves. On photoshop, I tend to duplicate the image and set the top layer to overlay, 20-40% opacity. 15:52, 12 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Okay, thanks for the tips. I did the first set of images with GIMP pen tool, but I've since downloaded the Photoshop trial (which is much better, IMO) and gotten some practice, so my rendering should be better this time around... Hylian King 18:09, 12 September 2010 (EDT)

Hey, I just wanted to let you know I've finished with the images you've given me, even though you probably already know this... Also, I hate you for giving me the ReDead screenshot...It was staring at me the whole time I was rendering it... *shudders* Hylian King 17:42, 14 September 2010 (EDT)

Whoamg
This image is awesome and makes my other TP images look FUGLY. You are AMAZING!!! :D Are you eventually gonna end up replacing all my other crappy images? If so, I look forward to that! By the way, you could have replaced this image with yours, but well, either way is fine. Dany36 11:28, 2 October 2010 (EDT)


 * My images really aren't all that great. Anyone with the right resources make them. The real hero here is Steven and his inspirational Outset Island panorama. Actually, that thought has never crossed my mind, nor will I promise to do it. My attention span is somewhat limited for these massive, one-person projects, so I tend to drift around and see what I want to do within that hour or two. And yeah, I was originally going to, but the angles are completely different. I may take an aerial shot to replace it, though. 13:33, 2 October 2010 (EDT)
