zBase (32bpp base set by Zephyris)

Re: zBase (32bpp base set by Zephyris) - Coder needed!
It would be great if I could get some help with trees... The trees really do need to rendered from blender so they can be included in other sprites like town buildings. Has anyone had any luck with any free tree generating scripts or programs? Or maybe how Varivar made his trees?

I found a tutorial on making trees with blender which looks good to me: http://www.blenderguru.com/videos/how-t ... ning-treesZephyris wrote:It would be great if I could get some help with trees...

Looks very good, but also looks like too much effort.
I had a go with volumetric textures, what do you think of this? These would be far faster to make and render...

Looks quite good, though a bit blurry.
I was told that one could also have a look at "ufoai.org->forums->artwork->model replacement, there was a big discussion about trees"

I haven't checked each model's license, but I'm confident that they try to use CC-BY-XX or GPL as well.
And that reminds me... I'll dig around there more. I definitely wanted it for at least the last two years: using the ufo models from ufo:AI within OpenTTD as to mimic a similar reference to our free sister project as in the original TTD to its commercial counterpart

I can sharpen it up a bit
Though through your suggestions I found this guy:

Some pretty awesome resources!

Re: zBase (32bpp base set by Zephyris) - Coder needed!
I know that this is just beginning and all..
But I just downloaded a nightly build of zbase and tested it, and while yes it's really just a few buildings and the terrain yet modified, it looks so awesome, the detail it's so much better
Zephyris you're a legend man

That is a lovely tree, Zephyris. Does it shed over time?

This is what the tree does at the moment... Some tweaking needed but a pretty good, low effort, and decentish quality.That is a lovely tree, Zephyris. Does it shed over time?

Wonderful effort, I think this is exactly what was required
You have my full support with coding. In the next few days I'll be looking at the work already done by several people and see how I can help.

Fast progress!
Second tree from the right looks rather odd though - bits of it seem to be hovering

Yeah it needs a bit of work, probably some twig textures. I will worry about that later though.FLHerne wrote:Second tree from the right looks rather odd though - bits of it seem to be hovering

On the subject of coding I know several people are working on it but it would be good to have a link to test builds at the dev zone if there are any...

The CF now builds zbase for short time already

Cool, I knew builds were being pushed to somewhere

Btw, the main repository is http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/zbuild which includes zbase, opengfx and zbasebuild as sub-repositories in order to allow building zbasebuild without complications (it requirest he relative paths as-is).

Re: zBase (32bpp base set by Zephyris) - Coder needed!
What buildings and other stuff is included in the zbuild? some of the awesome graphics Zephyris created and posted in this topic are in there. Some of them are not (yet?) in there. For example the road stations from page 1 of this toppic. But hey don't let it stop anybody it's no complaint at all! Keep up the good work and kudos to all people making this happen.planetmaker wrote:Btw, the main repository is http://dev.openttdcoop.org/projects/zbuild which includes zbase, opengfx and zbasebuild as sub-repositories in order to allow building zbasebuild without complications (it requirest he relative paths as-is).
(looking forward to see more sprites being completed and getting this package back on the road again. I have been expecting the worst last couple of months lurking around)

As it includes Zephyris' zbase repository: everything which Zephyris committed and which was coded since. Currently that's... about nearly single sprite as found in zbase - thanks to Alberth and Rubidium.sweetdude wrote: What buildings and other stuff is included in the zbuild?

This shouldn't be mistaken with previous 32 bit graphic replacement attempts, it's a completely new development.

Re: zBase (32bpp base set by Zephyris) - Coder needed!
road stations may take a while to get up and running, they come in a few parts and all have their offsets mapped to the orientations north point (which is a sticking piont if your rotating the collection of objects to get all four views), from what i understand zephyris is using templates to quick throw full frame renders out (standardized offset) to quickly fill out the list, anything outside of this would probably be picked up at a later date
