32bit Extra Zoom Graphics Works In Progress

[Varivar]

When I look to that screenshot, I see that my buildings are too low, compared with Wacki' s models. So I've made them a bit higher. The tropical flat #3 has more detail now.

I have a question for Maquinista: how did you made the mask file? With Gimp or something similar?

[maquinista]

Yes, I have made it with GIMP:

The lines where I have to comment in the mask mode is missing. Other parts looks different too. Seems I have a different version of the script (mine is from the link on this page). Any ideas where to get the right version?

Whoops, my bad. When I created the tutorial, I modified the available .blend file to include the python script, but didn't release the updated file as I wanted to get clearance from both the author of the python script (brupje, got clearance from him) and the original author of the default .blend file (Aracirion, I think). Unfortunately, I never heard from Aracirion, and then I got distracted (haven't contributed much, lately). Anyway, as Aracirion's .blend file has been released numerous times because it was used as the template for most .blend files you find on the forums - which has never been an issue - maybe I've been overly reluctant. So here you go, the modified .blend file with the updated Python script. Keep up the great work! Sorry for confusing you!

Edit: also updated the wiki

Varivar: Now that I see this thread, I take back what I said in the other thread about the roof. Your roof is excellent.

Thanks . I know it is a bit confusing that my buildings are spread through two threads, which is my fault . From now I will post them here.

Thanks for posting the right version . I' ll try it today.

How do I open the python script? i can' t find it .

I have a question for Maquinista: how did you made the mask file? With Gimp or something similar?

Hmm, about the first (2 floor) building: I think that ladder is a bit too much/big. The hatch could easily be about half the height/width. Maybe just make it a closed hatch?

In the window subset selector in the "user preferences" (marked with a red circle), select the "render" window subset. The script should appear in a window on the right side of the screen.

You can also open a "Text Editor" type window and select the blenderrender_annotated file. Place the text cursor in the first line of the script and hit Alt-P to execute the script (or select file->execute python script in the same window).

Happy rendering!

Thanks for your explanation, but I still can't find the part where I have to comment out the normal mode and "comment in" the mask mode. For now i have used Maquinista's mask file.

I've drawn the construction stages of tropical flat #4, but I can' t find the building stage sprites of tropical flat #3 in the GRF files. Doesn't tropical flat #3 have building stages?

I've made the hatch smaller. I kept it open, because.. that looks better to me.

Thanks a lot, Maquinista, for coding my previous buildings!

It's right here, mate, in the red circle. The hash (#) indicates code that has been commented out. Delete the one in front of mode="mask" and add one in front of mode="normal". You're now in mask mode. Don't forget to put the text cursor back into the first line of the script before you execute it. Keep up the good artwork!

Sorry, I had opened the wrong version. Now I have the right version and everything works. Thanks a lot!

I made a vehicle depot in Sketch Up

My first publicated 3D graphic

Edit: I attached the 3DS file in the rar and the textures, i cant use blender :S

Edit2: Now i include the train depot

I don't think Sketchup is a good program to make graphics, because it doesn't have a render function. You should learn to use Blender or another program that can render models. On the wiki is a page which 3d model programs can be used (I can't give you the link, because the wiki is down atm) You can try importing your model in Blender and then render it. Importing 3ds files in Blender is possible.

Your model doesn't look bad, but it lacks detail. Also the roof texture doesn't look good (the roof texture of both). The brick texture is scaled too big.

I have coded the building and fixed the bug.

The wiki is now up, i found the link, and i try to understand

Also, I think we already have one if not multiple depot models.

Where?

[Jupix]

Buried somewhere in the 32bpp thread probably

Edit: well, also seems to have been added in the wiki.

Ok sorry

[maquinista]

Yes, but It has not been updated in the last two years.

So i countinue the depots, or not?
