How to make my own sprites and tile backgrounds?

Hi everyone, I'm new to C2, please excuse my English, I'm Asian.

I'm having trouble trying to make my own sprites and tile backgrounds with Inkscape. What file extension should I save them as, and what size should I set them to? Also, does anyone know how to make 3D graphics with Inkscape?

Please help me, thanks a lot.

inkscape is a vector editor right? so you need to export as jpg or png. png is pretty much the standard cause its lossless and supports transparency

and for 3D, you need to shade your images correctly. Here is an tutorial:

aridale: thanks for your reply. I've exported a sprite to my project as png, but it was too big so I've tried resizing it to 48x48pxl, but it disappeared for some reason. I don't really know about the sizes of C2 games, sprites and tilebackgrounds, any suggestions please?

Ubivis: thanks for the video, it was helpful.

its probably just the scale in inkscape. anything 2048x2048 or smaller and still a power of 2 should be fine in c2 on any platform

ok, I'll experiment on that, thanks a lot for your help.
