[Big Project][32bpp] BrickLand Climate

[kilo.dollar]

Hope I am not spoiling the good work, but I like road with white lines. That's what I'm used to. Can I be accommodated?

[Wolf01]

ok, here is the road how will look when "old", it is still a WIP and it needs a lot of work to be complete, so don't complaint about lines which do not match and the miss of antialiasing, both will be there in "teh finalll versioonn!"

[athanasios]

I suggest to remove the studs to look better. They are equaled to vegetation and road cuts through them. Currently their appearance can confuse someone to think that the road is over them. I wouldn't recommend that even though we tend to build in real Legos not to dig. If this is not the case also check the alignment of the roads.

[Wolf01]

well known suggestions, as these tiles are only an overlay of the road on a base tile to see how it looks, when i'll work on them i'll clean them to look like the bends

: Hope you don't mind I am posting here often. It is a pity this is practically the only '32bpp graphics for trunk' thread that is alive. I am somewhat . I was thinking that with 32bpp in trunk more artists would have an incentive to draw but it is the opposite.

You can always become an artist yourself .

[athanasios]

Yep. I will follow your great example of services in OpenTTD 32bpp 64 tileset art.
(Don't take it seriously, I am joking.)
I 'd better spare some time and revive my little project...

[Wolf01]

a little up to inform that I don't left the project, i'm only trying to draw a bit of antialiasing for the road lines and fixing the alignment glitches, this will take a lot of time because i'm thinking about redrawing a little the roads (i don't like so much the circular dead-end and the lanes seem to be of different width cause the lines are not in the right position, but if i move them, they won't fit good with the sloped roads which are almost complete)

[athanasios]

At your ease!

[bobingabout]

hmmm... pixel art... i'm starting to like this stuff.

[TrueBrain]

Okay, I wanted to test the 32bpp stuff, and if it worked like I expected it to, so I took the brickland tiles of Wolf01 (with his permission ), and converted them a bit. Tiles now diffuse to each other, and the result looks pretty nice if you ask me I just took 3 tiles (grey, red and green flat file) to test this. Let me know what you think

Tnx Wolf01 for the biggest job of this all (the 16 round-thingies on top of the tiles).

[athanasios]

Let me know what you think

It is very nice!

Tiles now diffuse to each other

Certainly it is cool, still we should consider lower end hardware (like mine ) that don't make it well with too much alpha on the screen. So I suggest whenever we have new graphics to make two sets to choose from. The second with blending where necessary only (e.g. lighthouse) and not everywhere (e.g all roofs).
EDIT: As I look at it repeatedly it is so cool! I may get into the temptation to go and buy new hardware...

[Ben_Robbins_]

That's rather nice. The contrast is good, and the tiling hasn't had the dizzying effect that I expected, and that Toyland is renowned for.

Every 32 bit card should do well with alpha.

does the sea have to be lego based ? or can you not just use the orignal sea ?

i think it doesn't look right thats all.

good work tho people

[DJ Nekkid]

i agree! the lego'ed water seems a tad wierd... should be pretty plain blue

[Wolf01]

does the sea have to be lego based ?

yes


TrueLight: very good work with these sprites

[XeryusTC]

Water in Lego is usually not buildable, so there should be no studs on it.

And then how do you place ships on the water?
