Well, 2x2 parks are already planned.
And you want 1x1 parks, too?

Any specific wishes/ideas for me concerning this matter? :)

sojo

Not so much 1x1. More 2x1, 2x2 and a big 3x3 ... this sounds good.  ;D

Mayby more "dark" parks with many many dark trees, like the (Schwarzwald).

And some for the tropical zone? What park can placed at desert?

PS. Can you give me the new ground (for desert)?

I thought, i've posted the new desert texture in the developing section. ;) (Topic: Bodengest.)

Okay, i will do my very best. I've some ideas for desert & co. ^^

Alex. Brose

A day without new stuff from the graphic factory is a bad day...

Well, there's a new park for small cities, hehe.  ;)


gauthier

simply ... impressive, do you have a tip to draw this kind of building ?

sojo

Alex. Brose has not so many new painted. All objects are from older projects.

Of course some pixels are new and the way is new. But the most is only copy and paste.

My tip for you, gauthier: just zoom into the graphic. You can explore the graphic then and see my tricks.
Sometimes you only need small details. For the park: Some grass, flowers... I took the trees from the template. As sojo wrote - copy and paste. After all you'll need antialiasing for cleaner results. :)

EDIT: And don't forget the shadows! They are really important.

gauthier

I don't know if it's so simple for pak128 ...

How do you make anti-aliasing ?

Alex. Brose

I do it by hand. See the graphic below. :)


mobo

you could use gaussian blur, or some other kind of blur in GIMP or Photoshop


Alex. Brose

You're right, gauthier. *lol*

But it's worth the effort. I think, sometimes the artist has to "play" with the pixels. :)

the almighty snark


Tomas

Alex, you are crazy  architect! I love your buildings!

Alex. Brose

#125
Thank you very much, t.a.s. & Tomas!

Well, take THIS, hehe:


I'll show you (and the forum, of course) a much bigger building tomorrow. It's already completed but i promised sojo that he can test it before.  ;)

Isaac Eiland-Hall

Great. Thanks a LOT, Sojo! <mumble, mumble>

.......just kidding!! :-D

I love your work, sir. It's awesome. :D

Alex. Brose

*lol*  ;D ;D ;D

Well, here's the big building.
Hotel Toulouse. The big 'HOTEL' is animated, of course.  :D


Alex. Brose

Simuthans wanna watch TV!
Let's build a tv tower.  8)


VS

Once per city?

You never cease to amaze me...

My projects... Tools for messing with Simutrans graphics. Graphic archive - templates and some other stuff for painters. Development logs for most recent information on what is going on. And of course pak128!

Tomas

Really, really nice image. But tower is ordinary. 8 of 10 towers looks like as this ;)
This is unique and "sexy" TV tower & Hotel ;D

Alex. Brose

*lol*

My TV Tower is close to the world's very first tv tower. You can find this tower in Stuttgart, Germany. All the thousands copies are based on Stuttgart's tower. :D :D

Vladimír: Not once per city. The chance is committed to 33%. :)

Like the USA. Most and biggest masts there.

By the way - this is Stuttgart's tower:

Spike

Nice to see this in the game :) For the pak, I'd suggest to make the tower-stem a bit leaner, the perspective on the photo distorts the real size relation a bit.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fernsehturm_Stuttgart

The base of the tower is definitely leaner than the "station" at the top. Thanks for adding that, Alex :)

Alex. Brose

Can you see the entrance to the underground?  :)


VS

We can hopefully see only the top of iceberg here :)

Alex. Brose

Of course, there's something going on in the underground, Vladimir, hehe.
Listen... Can you hear the sound of the construction sites? ;)

Alex. Brose

After a long time without new graphics by graphic factory i have a new building for you. It's a modern office highrise.
At night the building is dark (well, not the logo) because the window cleaning is really high in price.  ;D
