Thanks K__.
I re-exported a few of them to fix scale issues and such (most of them were too small, shards we too big) and renamed to correct filenames.
For people that want to test, if using git, they're in nifrek/simpleitems
If using autobuild: http://ompldr.org/vZWNuZw/z-simpleitems20120615.pk3
My comments:
Health items look good up close but the white circle is too thin, it disappears quite quickly as you move away from them. I'd say they could be twice as thick, assuming you don't feel like it messes with the style you had for them.
Same for ammo icons tho not as bad, the square might need to be slightly thicker. The rocket ammo could use some "filling" inside the explosion icon so it blurs better when seeing them from away.
Nex is way too thin, becomes almost invisible when you move away
Not sure how to fix that one, maybe just thicker beam might work but as Chryyz said, it looks like a stick because the smaller details around the beam disappear rather quickly as you move away from it.
Overall the rest looks good in my opinion, I have no other suggestions for now. Later it might be worth adding some sort of drop shadow (not too strong) around them because we have some very bright maps where the items become hard to see on bright background. But don't worry about this for now, could be the finishing touch to do once all designs are set in stone (and I or somebody else can take care of that if you're tired of working on simpleitems by then hehe).
EDIT:
Also I'm thinking it might be worth using 512x512 instead of 256x256, it generally looks fine but I'm using fov 120, at 90 they get a bit aliased when upclose. But it doesn't matter for now, just a thought for later. BTW I can take care of exporting, you can just post a link to source files from now on if you want, I don't mind saving you the trouble.
