Yeah giygas is creepier than sonic next gen (Which by the way I feel like a dumbass for playing on my ps3 right now.)

Here are the scannie-scans! They're rather wonky but I just hope it's readable, all we need now is a Frenchie to translate all 10 pages of it for us. =)

don't say I don't do nothing for ya.

That article was a fascinating read, even though I didn’t understand most of it. There’s too much interesting information in there to even list.

Someone needs to translate this.

I translated some of it on youtube!

I have a feeling that when this is fully translated, it will be a major breakthrough for Rayman fans everywhere. It will probably take a while to translate all of the pages, though.

maybe we could all work together! I'm willing to help translate the first page!

From what I could make out of the article

- Rayman 1's backgrounds were apparently designed in Photoshop [been around a LOT longer than you think] while the characters were designed in Deluxe Paint, which is a painting app on the Amiga.
- The music was apparently composed on something called QBase on the Atari ST

That's about it for now

Photoshop? really? Never knew it was around that long.

Photoshop's been around since the late 80s.

Yup, in the late 80s on an old Mac. And I want to show you this video:

But I still prefer Gimp as my main raster graphics editor, which can be really powerful if you know how to use it.

Outstanding. Photoshop in the 80's!? Simply amazing, thanks for the info

Rayfist090 wrote:Outstanding.

Wanna know what's more incredibly outstanding? Realtime animated semi-realistic 3D computer graphics in 1972.


- And please don't quote complete posts.

Awesome! That speech synchronised part was amazing!

Also you play gmod? I do too!

Haha holy shit at Photoshop1!

Looking at the version history on wikipedia it's likely that the versions the Rayman 1 team used may be at least Photoshop 2.

Sorry about not joining in the current discussion, but...

I like all the concepts better than the current Razoff. Except the one with a large screw in its gun. A male Begoniax would've made the Begoniax/Razoff thing make more sense. The glowing fingers guy is pretty neat, but I love the one just above it better than any of the other ones. Just imagine that, but at Razoffs current size, and still acting all fancy. The one with a sword and mechanically enhanced legs seems to comical. Way to comical for Razoffs creepy mansion.

Do you mean Begoniax?

I'm sure he does.

I like the current Razoff design best, I'm glad they didn't go with any of the other choices.

...whoops. Editing my post.

It says in the green window on the fifth page that the characters were designed on paper, then scanned into a computer. I suppose they used Deluxe Paint to manipulate the sprites afterwards. The backgrounds seem to have been created solely in Photoshop.

I wonder if the original character drawings and Deluxe Paint/Photoshop files still exist somewhere. That Space Mama drawing looks much better than the pixellated version used in the game.

I should really go backwards and read posts. Typical.
Thanks, Stacey! Although I'm pissed that your Pix'n Love got delivered (FUCKING POST OFFICE RAAAWRGH ), it's great we've got the article now. Shall have a good read through tonight - though I daresay I'll understand much of it.
I'm actually quite surprised they scanned in drawn artwork, although it does explain the high detail in Rayman 1. With this in mind, the Ubiart/RO project makes much more sense.
