I would like to make graphics for OTTD

Post by Yoeri »

I would like to make graphics for OTTD. No vehicles, but buildings, airport etc. The problem is: I know absolutely nothing about doing that. I did a quick search, but I couldn't find anything....

Learn Blender? Or was it for 32bpp?

Webfreakz.nl: Or?
Making graphics in Blender is making 32bpp graphics.

Yoeri: If you google for the "blender tutorial" you'll find some good ones. I've learned everything from google and Alltaken (mostly keyboard shortcuts)

Lots of questions, I hope someone can help me. Thanks

If you want to make graphics as it is now, all you need is a good pixel-editor and some coding skills. Look at http://wiki.ttdpatch.net/tiki-index.php ... phicsSpecs to how to start about it.

I would like to make some graphics. I don't mind making anything really. i don't no anything about blender, but i can model in max. I did 5 ships a while ago, but not too shore about some of the shaddow stuff, cuase i couldnt get the blender thing working, so ive just stuck some soft shaddows on at the second. I started on the farm as well, but that aint finished ( ben_robbins_@hotmail.com )
