Perhaps not, but they still need to be darker/lighter, depending wether they are on the left or the right side, since light comes from the right.

i decided i didnt like Purno's detail design for the _ view... is this better or is Purno's better?

Looking very good!
i think your almost ready to draw seriously IMO.

i do intend to see this in-game...your average high speed train

i'd love to see it in my game one day! I hope you go ahead and work for a successfull set

i will reveal that i am currently planning an entire lanscape/vehicle/industry complete replacement set...no more details can be revealed at this time

(sorry for the double post...but edits are SO annoying...and this deserves better)

Wo-wo wait.. a COMPLETE replacement set? Do you have any idea how long that will take??

Perhaps it's better to start with something smaller.. For instance, a set that replaces 5 trains or something..

a vehicle replacement set, that replaces all trains, for example can take upwards of a year to do well

i estimate 5 years for an entire lanscape/industry/vehicle set

Almost right.. Dutch trainset has started in 2003 or something.. and still not done

ypu need the blue rectangles

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 10 Sep 2006 10:51

i know that...i intend to do the coding myself

EDIT: and could you plz comment on the train itself?? is it any good? does it need to be changed? is it pathetic? is it worthy of no more than the delete button??

the train is not bad for a start.
I would say that white is a difficult colour to start with, but this is not bad.
On the other hand, it could use a bit more shading, and maybe some pixel randomisation, just to make it look a bit more realistic.

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 10 Sep 2006 11:50

i think its as realistic as it can be...its a high speed train...all surfaces would be as smooth and flat as possible...everything would be a uniform colour, shape, and texture...resulting in very uniform colours...as for shading....that was almost exactly copied from Purno except with different colours...and you are right...white is evil

It looks really good, but some of the diagonal views look like they're smaller than the | and _ views.

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 10 Sep 2006 16:26

you are absolutely right...ask Purno about that...i followed his tutorials almost to the letter

As both the engine and the car are 31 pixels in _ view, they should have the same size in / \ views too, but they don't. In the / \ views the car side is 16 but the engine is 14. That's part of it.

The slanting front seems to have different angles in all three views. I think the front should be longer in the | views (easy) and shorter in / \ views (difficult). Maybe make the / \ views use 2:1 slope instead of 1:1? Like this loco I drew for the Dutch set, which has the same angle in the side view.

ok, im back to drawing things...this time i have a random building i am drawing from scratch... i have tried a few different window designs and settled on this one...what do you think?

also i must comment: the building is still in the very early stages...

EDIT: (added second building) where should i go from here...?
