Professional painter may say StarCraft graphics is flawless. It is not about his personal feelings but rather mathematical properties. Golden ratio it is.

Golden ratio makes the human eye to understand the picture easily. Fractals are basis:

It may be the first time you thought about it, but Golden ratio is everywhere in StarCraft:

I always felt comfortable with BW art and found the design aesthetically pleasing, but just couldn't quite put my finger on why. Now I know :D

And Golden Ratio is hidden everywhere around us once you start looking for it. So it is not surprising it hid itself inside a computer game, especially in a damn good one.

there are MUCH more buildings with this ratio, for exaple the citadel.

i love how things like the golden ratio was used in sc, they sure knew how to make a "esports" game^_^
the power of an outside source is that it comes from the inside. sabas[aov] c-/c toss

I learned about this ratio years ago but never thought to apply it to SC. This is mind blowing.

There are some of those that don't make any sense, like the probe, the extractor or the zealot. Also, half of them aren't even properly measured.

I don't get it. You can split a picture into 2 parts with 'something more' and 'something less' so it's mathematics?
oh, hai
