Title: A building
Post by: AABatteries on May 31, 2009, 08:22:42 PM
Don't know if this the right section for this, but anyways...  I made a little building, literally.  It's too small.  ::)  I usually make stuff to big, and this time it was too small.  Anyways, here's what it would look like in the game...  I'll be redoing it right after I'm done making this thread.

Ahh, a nice start (when resized). It's always good to have new content creators :-) Have you ever thought of doing any work for Pak128.Britain as well as Pak64?

You're certainly on the right path! :) If you need some material to get started, take a look at graphic archive (http://graphics.simutrans.com/thumbnails.php?album=7). And of course there is more than just the 64-size folder. Although I doubt you could make much use of these when you already made one house (even if small).

I'll have to look into the Pak128.Britain.  Once I get the sizes down, I'll be good to go.

Do! We could do with a bit more variety of city buildings. There's currently only one active graphic artist...

Sorry, no new version of the TV store.  I got busy with something else.  I'll get back to it shortly.  With the last day of school being Friday, I'll have all summer to work on stuff.  ;D 

I'll try my hand at city building next then. 

Also, looked at the Pak128.  The Pak64 looks more like the kinda of stuff I can/do make.

The size is still off.  Now it's too big.  :-\

The golden rule for pak64 buildings is 7 pixels by floor

Okay, thanks.  That helps out a lot.  ;D

Your style looks a little bit cartonish (That should not mean that I don't like it!). Do not worry, the most effective at the beginning so ...

But probably you want to draw some buildings for pak192.comic!
It's very young, but althougt playable. The probelm of pak192.comic is that there is nobody who wants to draw buildings! Everybody wants to draw vehicles or such stuff.

So I would be happy if there is someone who like draw buildings! If you are interested in it I would send you some templates where you can see the high of one floor and some other rules for making stuff for pak192.comic.


A small tip of mine: Make a screenshot for getting right colors!
