New 32bit art in progress

Post by ivangraphics »

Always wanted to edit ttd graphics and with openttd finally it is possible in close to easy way. Took me few days to understand but it works!!!! :)

edited existing power plant and antenna sprites from the "completed 32bit sprites" page but i think to make my own pack eventually, if i find all sprite numbers list... it is almost complete, will post them sprites later. For now it's not a grf but simply replacement to original graphics...

still need to fix few bugs...

Ah forgot to tell: it's made completely in photoshop, no 3d apps used...

Wow, nice graphics, looks promising :)

IMO it looks like nice toy houses :) You might want to pick up on the LEGO style which became a bit dormant recently.
If your intention though a "realistic" (whatever that is) image, the power plant looks IMO a bit too shiny. Like made of plastic and bathed in a light. In that case it may just need a bit more noise or so in order to make it look a bit more weathered.

thanks :)

no i'm not much into lego but comic style is cool. i was more into semi realistic, like the oryginal ttd art. like real/toyish, and with testy colors, not sad and dark like the new official 32bit art which has few cool works but overall it's dry 3d work :(

:) but thanks, i will see into it...

I like it :)
I think you're on the right feeling :D
If you are not ready to work a bit for your ideas, it means they don't count much for you.
OpenTTD and Realism? Well... Here are a few thoughs on the matter.

Oh, please keep the cheerful colours. Weathered or more noisy doesn't mean to make it gray, dark and dull :) And as I said: I like them a lot as they are, also w/o modifications or added noise.

They are very nice indeed :) although I still think that the comic style graphics (see the thread in this forum) are maybe a bit better :o I don't really know which style I like better :o

I really like this. It's almost like it preserves the spirit of the original graphics whilst making them look so much sharper (the blender graphics project is amazing, but it perhaps loses some of that essential openTTD-ness)
NB: the below challenges are still open for submission, so feel free to perform necromancy on them!
Try the PouncingAnt National Monopoly Challenge
Or even better, the PouncingAnt National Monopoly Challenge 2
Or better still, the PouncingAnt National Monopoly Challenge 3
Or, the PouncingAnt National Monopoly Challenge 4

Or try my scenario instead!

Thanks that was kind of the concept :) not match 100% but make something in game's spirit colorful and eye candy and yet 32 bit ;)
