Okay.. This small dictionary, in our opinion, will serve
some introduction to the world computer art culture, for
those who know her poorly or not at all... We hope that
this small contribution of ours will help to instill this type of art among
us... The sad thing is that what we really have in this area now is...
then ten to fifteen people understand and do something... I wanted
I wish the level of general illiteracy in this matter
has dropped significantly.. We did not include in this introduction
examples of work, because in addition to simply the information presented
in a dry dictionary form, they also made a big review of russian
artpacks, released this year.. That’s where you can
exampl'ah works to see: how artists work, perhaps
learn something, get inspired by something... Or start drawing
yourself, or “get sick” of this in a milder form - just become
a spectator, a “connoisseur” of this type of art... Someone goes to
The Tretyakov Gallery and the Hermitage, looking at the canvases,written
oil, by masters of some early end of the 18th-19th century,
someone has been peering into the “Black Square” all their life, trying
see the truth, and someone comes to the
acid.artpacks.arcohive looking forward to new packs..
Read, enlighten, learn...
PS: It’s worth making a reservation - we did not consider the issues here and
terms related to "high resolution graphics" =) B
colloquially VGA.. For several reasons: 1] until we decided
how to technically ensure viewing of VGA works, 2] magazine
containing examples of VGA-sheks will instantly swell in size
3] we didn’t want to overload one room with so many
art.. 4] ... and finally we decided to just extend to you and us
pleasure..

_artscene_ - its own, completely separate community
computer artists using such unique tools
self-expression, like ascii/ansi & rip art.. Perfect here
its own, separate atmosphere, its own already established composition of groups,
their leaders, their own rules, terms, their own atmosphere... They come out
art-oriented magazines such as Acrylic, Beyond The
Horizonts, Vagina, etc.. There are groups like ACID,
ICE, who have been painting since '93, have releasedmore than 50 artpacks,
numbering up to 150 members.. These are the whales of the industry.. Her
mainstream.
_ascii_ - officially this abbreviation stands for
American Standard Code for Information Interchange... Really
this is 255 monospaced ascii table characters, which
with some inspiration and imagination they can successfully
used for drawing. How realistic and
impressive works come out of such a poor set
instruments - one can only be surprised at this.
_ansi_ - short for American National Standards
Institute. From the artist's point of view - the same as ascii +
8 colors for background and 16 colors for foreground. Actually
in fact, unlike ascii, the work is done more with color than with
shape. Therefore, out of the entire ascii table, only 10 are used
symbols - all different squares and cubes...
_rip_ is a vector graphics format that has not received wide acceptance
practical application, but still popular among
some old artists who manage to create in it
extremely realistic images comparable to high
resolution graphics...
_x-bin_ is a new format proposed by ACID. Based on
replacing some unused ascii table characters,
others - hand-drawn in the font editor...
Allows moreaccurately antialias the image, display new ones,
non-standard forms.. You can compare standard Ansi work and
x-bin with midi and tracker module, respectively. Similar
the technology was used by us in the second issue of HARM: when
creating text-mode animation..
_artpack_ - a collection of works produced by the art group. How
usually monthly. In addition to traditional ones for computer art
scene genres - ascii/ansi/rip often packs include lits [which
such litas - described in HARM3], viewers, sometimes even music..
Plus "gentleman's kit": diz, nfo & application form.
_anseepack_ - a collection of works completed using super-
gif2ans utilities.. =)

_diz_ - file file_id.diz containing brief information about the package and
ascii work, sometimes colored using color codes
[for example PCB @X] .. The picture itself is strictly limited to 45
characters in width, which gives us another “genre” - diz art..
_nfo_ - a relatively detailed information file containing news about
activities of this art group. New members, sources
inspiration, greetings, some general words, and in general
everything that comes to mind... Not always everything you want is possible
say in works alone, sometimes you have to write something
directtext. And sometimes information is the only way
contact all group members at once, since the overwhelming
number of art groups consist of people living in different countries
far from each other...

▀▀
_colly_ is a collection of works by a single artist. How
As a rule, this is logos, i.e. you can mostly see logo-colly
..
_logo_ - logo, title - artistic interpretation
words or phrases. Usually this is the name of the group, board,
website or just something that came to mind from a fool...
_longansi_ - healthy ansi [or ascii], traditionally
containing first a long image, and below it a logo. work,
containing more than 50 lines, if it is not colly, it is quite possible
call longansi/ascii .. As a rule, the depicted object
[image] is either an original sketch performed on
paper [100% original], or BCR ..
_signature_ - short, two or three letters, signature of the artist,
inserted into the work, a kind of “stamp”...

Inspiratons
_100% original_ - absolutely original work, 100%
invented from scratch.
_BCR_ - abbreviation for basic comic rip, typicalexample BCR -
figures or faces of comic book characters redrawn in Ansi..
It is not art. =)
_toonies_ - cartoon characters, such as Beavis and Butthead,
redrawn in Ansi.. In principle, almost the same as
BCR, the difference is only in subject matter and in some technical
techniques.. For example, toony style ansi are often drawn
practically without shading, thick contours, exactly the same shape
filled with bright colors, etc..
_request_ - request, order or for a single work: diz, logo,
etc.. or for the full design of the board [ul/dl screens,
main menu, login screen, etc..].. In bourgeois groups
there is a practice of doing work for money, which is not
ok..
_ansi 4 sale_ - vicious practice of unemployed sackers
make money from your neighbors by fulfilling requests for
fee.
_draw for fun_ is the antonym of request. When a person draws
just for himself, what came into his head and inspired him
for creativity. For some, this type of art is simply inaccessible.
_rip_ - plagiarism of individual or entire parts of an image from
other people's works. There is a rip of style, technique, techniques.. Most
the sophisticated look of rip is a rip of oneself. This is when a person
there is not enough inspiration, and it starts to repeat itself, and that's all
works become similar to one another, like two peas in a pod..
To the personcaught in rip'e his neighbor, the way to the stage
closed He is thrown out of the group and is not taken anywhere else. Rip
himself - a lack of many famous artists.. This
not a “crime”, just an indicator of decline..

_amiga style [old school]_ - ascii art is divided into two
schools that arose as a result of the characteristics of the two platforms, Amiga
and PC .. A distinctive feature of old school is objects
drawn only as an outline, usually without filling or
shading...
_new school_ - PC direction ascii art. At the moment
basic. Objects whose body consists of characters like
"$",,"@",,"W", etc.. or inverse to them.
_anscii [uncolored ansi]_ - ascii, drawn using
"ansi characters", i.e. 10 types of primitives [cubes, stripes,
etc..]
_shading_ - shading and highlighting of individual areas
images depending on the location of the light source.
Simply put, shading adds volume to the image. In ansi -
shading is done with color, in ascii - with symbols, which, in general,
more difficult..
_antialiasing_ - usually the work is first compiled from rough
primitives, contours, shape and future composition are outlined
images.Antialiasing - the process of finishing an image to
final shape by smoothing out unevenness using
special, small characters...
_background_ - when the main [logo/image] objects are ready,
the final step is to add a background - create
background, atmosphere, environment or setting in which there will be
all or some of the objects in the image are located. Background
gives completeness and integrity to all work.

_aciddraw_ - the main ANSI editor.. There are several more, but
in fact, everyone draws in AcidDraw..
_acidview_ - main viewer for text mode art [ansi/ascii/rip
/x-bin].. there are several alternative viewers, of which
seriously we can only talk about IceView and DarkView..
_tombstone artist_ - another ACID product.. lead editor for
drawing images in rip format..
_sauce_ - information appended to the end of the file containing
a line about the title of the work, its author and his group..
Supported by all major viewers.. Done
special program spoon.exe ..
_gif2ans_ is a super powerful utility.. Designed for those who
Neither rip, nor bcr, nor the presence of requests helps.. Deaf
