Made some full body versions of a few TEW renders I've made. Do people prefer .gif or .jpg? I know that for .gif you get the changing background depending on what promotion a fighter is signed with but the quality of the picture seems to drop and the edges become pixelated.

looking great! personally i would never use jpg just because you would also have a big white background behind your render for both pictures, even though you lose a little quality i prefer gif for the clear background

Well - Midjourney AI has really transformed the Render game. 

I made this in a matter of seconds and it has a transparent background! Also it is designed to look more like a render that blends in with the Default pics and not like a photo (As the other threads on here have) 

Using Midjourney You upload a render from your default picture Database and my prompt was

"MMA Fighter Render Graphic Asian Bantamweight slender male mustache wearing MMA gloves and MMA shorts light grey background looks like this (Link to uploaded render)" 

From there - you take it into the photo editor of choice (I use photoshop but free options like GIMP will also work) and you crop to the 600x440 and 300x300 render sizes to fit WMMA5. Something you will need to do when exporting as a .GIF is export as a 'web image' which gives you a Matte option. This eliminates white pixel borders on your transparent GIF. Set the hex# color to #0f0f0f (Which is the WMMA5 background color) and then export them both. 

Here is an example of how it looks in the game. As you can see - no weird borders. Boom - welcome to the world of renders at your fingertips.

I dabbed in the AI atmosphere a tiny bit but failed to get renders out exactly like I wanted them. This output is very good though. It keeps the feel of the renders posted here so it fits right in. Can't say that from the output I posted here from AI sources. It needs its own db.

Here's some more traditional renders that require 10x the work

For the AI fans: the newest thing on Leonardo apparently is creating a small motion video of an image. Look at this:

Looks more like a Marvel movie. It's AI mocking its inability to generate hands and therefore gloves.

Quite suprised to see it able to put UFC on the gear instead of alien gibberish. It would suit the transforming hands though. Might be nice for the superhero game. XD
