Swedish Houses [Version 1.1 released 06/06/10]

[andythenorth]

The sun comes from same direction on both buildings so the shading wouldn't be different... not drasticly different anyway.

I meant when you flip the roofs, as in this image

The roof on the second building needs reshading

[Irwe]

The one with the green roof needs reshading

Really? I don't see anything wrong but I guess I're right. You have more experiense about this

[Benny]

I think Andy means this.

[Irwe]

I think Andy means this.

I thought he meant the darker front of the roof

Edit: Like this?

[Benny]

Still no difference. The BACK of the roof at the right house has to be darker

[Irwe]

The back ofcourse

Like this?

[Benny]

That looks abnout right to me.

[Irwe]

That looks abnout right to me.

It's a small different but you can sure see it. Will be making corner ones next, try at least.

Edit: I might need some help on the inspiration here. I can't get it to look like a café. You can't even see the tables and chairs Any suggestions?

Edit2: I think I nailed it, but suggestions are still open.

[Irwe]

I need some help on the drawing here I can't seem to get it right how ever I do. I might have gone geometry blind after all this drawing

Edit:never mind I think I got it

[Irwe]

I really have to stop with this double posting.. or in this case tripple posting. Anyway I think everyone know who SAC is or was and she did some great looking sprites a while ago and I've been thinking. Since SAC's not active anymore (or maybe she is and I don't know about it) and her sprites looked kind of swedish would it be wrong of me to "steal" some of the sprites done by SAC? Credits would ofcourse go to her and I might change them a little bit.

Some of the sprites I have in mind are these. (maybe not the IKEA)

I think that the best way to contact SAC is via TTArtist forums(You have to register to see anything there). You(or we in this case) should not use any graphics without asking permission, unless graphics have been licensed with license that allows reusing, and even then it is imo polite to ask.

or you call it stolenhouses.grf

That would probably be the best way, if she's still activ there.

Are the stolen trees really stolen?

[Benny]

SAC is long gone. Haven't seen her for months on the TTArtist forums.

Just use the sprites, and if SAC ever shows up you can ask her. I really doubt she'll sue you because of some sprites.

[Ammler]

Benny, you aren't in the position to allow someone to use abandoned sprites, actually nobody can do that, except the owner, that is why NO license is that bad.

Irwe, if you can't email SAC, just give those sprites up and try to make them self, you are a very good drawer. You won't go in troubles then.

Copyright expires like 70 years after the death of the copyright holder... Surely she can be contacted via e-mail or alike. But going like "she isn't active right now, I may rip her of her assets" surely is a very crappy attitude. And her position on that is actually quite clear, if you read back the threads referring to it.

[Benny]

Okay, okay.

[Irwe]

I will try to e-mail her and if I can't reach her I'll just give up.

Search shows SAC was last here Jan 2009...try PM, see what happens.

...this is why some of us insist on using the GPL wherever we can. We know licensing kind of bores a lot of people, but not being able to use *awesome* sprites is more boring

cheers,

Andy

Indeed. The fact that there is really good looking sprites out there but I can't use them is irritating, but I can always try to draw something similar.
