These are my new covered bridge graphics, they replace the wooden bridge, what do you think?
note:updated, the rails/roads line up, the roof darkened, and so on

Its a good start, but i think if you toned down the colour made it more wooden looking, and made the wasp stripes a bit thinner it would look better and fit into the environment more

they look like they're built with legobricks

I don't like the red... You should give it a different color and more shading.

but i think most covered bridges are red.

if you look into the window you see water!!! isn't there an solution or something???

i don't know, i'm thinking of making them black.

but with the wooden bridge you see also the track and train! (i don't know if you see the train in this bridge)

furthermore, you can see water through the windows, instead of track

Using the yellowish color used by the stations might work better... not sure though... Don't know how the bridges work from the grf files...

i did a little work on it, does this look better?
dakened the roof a little, fixed the wasp stripes on the maglev and monorail(they were going the same way on both sides) and i darkened the inside and blacked out the windows

I think it would be better if the windows worked as windows, ie. neither track nor blackness. Also, the tracks inside the bridge don't quite line up with the tracks outside.

first of all, a covered bridge doesn't have glass windows, if thats what you mean and there's not much light in a covered bridge so i think blackness works fine. and the track/road not lining up, i'm aware of that, it's not hard to fix, thanks anyway.

It's looking to animated for me. Good try.

Better put color brown, so it look like wooden bridge.

I don't like color and I like that bridge.

I don't know EVEN what program for that.

I have only Adobe Photoshop CS, 3Ds Max Studio and M. Flash.

The roof is skewed. If you look at your pics you see that the tip of the roof isn't aligned with the center of the bridge. Just by fixing that it would look better. And as others suggested: try another colour. I know these bridges are painted (hey, I've seen The Bridges of Madison County!) but this is what I refer to as nucleair paint

. And since these bridges are painted I think you should let go the marking of different pieces of wood too. You can achieve a similar effect by just choosing a slightly darker colour for the paint (ask uzurpator for further details). But in the end I have to say that for a first attempt this is not bad.
