[OTTD] Temporal8 32bpp 4x ExtraZoom Projects / Development Thread (WIP)

[temporal8]

I started modeling some car dealerships and parking lots, there is still a lot of work, details, materials, etc. This is just the basic modeling without textures or materials.

My suggestion is for a Tesla. Of course your dealerships will then need charging stations.

Some progress.

The only problem is I am pennyless.

Vegetation needs more detail, ground would look better if it was darker and tiles varied in shades and colour.

Thanks for the feedback pal, ingame shots, the road and trees are CZ.

Amazing!

Hello, I started modeling some houses in 3d, some progress ...ignore the perimeter walls, it´s a work in progress, I only included something to mark the boundary between houses, in the future it will surely be bushes.

I need to edit the technical specifications of the set of real cars. (3d modeling is more fun than editing nfo files without a doubt): D

I prefer to publish the cars together with some content in 32bpp minimally, so that they are not so misplaced in an 8bpp environment.

[perverted monkey]

That content is very welcome!

Nice to see that someone works with our graphics and create new items in 32bpp This looks great. We slowly started to continue working on our sets too

Thanks man!

Hi, I started using CZ graphics in my creations for SOTM and one day I realized that I was short and needed other things, now I lost a bit of interest in sotm and started doing things in 32bpp, the more we are, the closer it will be the dream of seeing openttd with more real graphics. It's great to hear that the development of cz continues, good luck.

Cheers.

Wow.

I'm speechless this is good

[temporal8]

Little Update! I made 11 houses so far, each one with 4 views, I left NFO behind and am now working with NML.

Yikes! I've usually preferred the goold old-fashioned look of TTD over 32bpp graphics (a little bit has to do with the lack of variety so far), but this is looking mighty impressive!

Thank you, I agree with you, the existing 32bpp graphics are not my preference in general except for some cases like CZ and some others, mostly because they have lighting or proportions problems, which makes them unrealistic, on the other hand the community has great designers in 8bpp.

Each SOTM was looking for more realism and I always avoided getting involved due to lack of time, but lately with some free time I said, why not? I'm going to try to do as much as I can while time allows.

I am evaluating the possibility of doing a Town replacement set, but I am wondering what kind of constructions I would do for the city since these houses would be for the outskirts of the towns and they are a kind of American style but I have to think about what style it would be downtown appropriate, not sure if I like the old and stylish buildings you see in American hubs ...

I am open to suggestions.

[perverted monkey]

Seems you have created a style of its own!
My suggestion:
First draw 3, 4 storey apartments similar to the ones you have already done.
After proceed to the centre.

Have to agree with you. I'm fascinated. It reminds me Sims and Simcity

Hey mate, this looks very cool! If you want to do your own 32bpp house set, I am highly encouraging you to do so - it would be nice to see how our sets fit together or having a choice between US and central european architecture.

We decided to use slightly reduced scale for buildings, otherwise larger buildings would not be feasible to do (every meter counts), especially the contrast in size vs industry would be huge (imagine industry taking up 20x20 spaces, or even more.

If you need something, feel free to PM me, perhaps I can offer some advice.

... especially the contrast in size vs industry would be huge (imagine industry taking up 20x20 spaces, or even more.

Truthfully, industry probably should be huge. OpenTTD buildings are scaled far too small.

Good idea!

Hey, thanks man.
I started doing the set and nothing else but over time I realized that it had to be compatible with cz as well, in my case I use real scale, I am an architect in real life so I know very well about measurements and proportions.

Yesterday when I started to evaluate the possibility of doing a town set I put my houses side by side with CZ and I realized exactly what you are telling me now, that CZ uses a reduced scale and to complicate matters even more, I have observed that the houses in your country have totally different house proportions and surface areas. (Street View Google maps)

I have been chatting with Stefino since a few days ago, and the idea is to cooperate with each other, yes.

... especially the contrast in size vs industry would be huge (imagine industry taking up 20x20 spaces, or even more.

Exactly, that's why I thought about taking the size and proportions to something more realistic, but now I have to take into account CZ, the logical thing that both sets can coexist and enhance each other,
I will see what I can do.

--
Today I was editing the technical specifications of the Real cars set and decided that the maintenance cost will be zero, in that way it will be compatible with "TownCar AI" to generate traffic and at the same time it will be a standard set where the player can buy the cars and use them as 5 passengers transport.


Grettings.

[temporal8]

I don't see anything strange here, correct me if I'm wrong, the heights seem similar.
I only see strange the house with a sloping gable roof, on the far right, from CZ, Is it made based on real measurements and proportions or is it a reinterpretation of the original houses of the game? In my eyes it would be a house with a surface area of ​​6 x 3 meters, it is impossible.
I also notice it in the swimming pool, judging by the measurements of the windows, that pool measures 1.20 meter x 3 meters.





---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The 2-story house might look bigger but CZ's door measurement is the same height, and the top edge of the roof ends just where the second story of the other house ends,
If someone sees something different in all these images please say so, the idea is that both sets are matched as much as possible.

I'm going to do some smaller scale tests anyway.
