Finnish Rail Infrastructure & Stations Set [WIP]

[kyosuke1989]

What about removing the light sprites on the edge of the tarmac station tiles, so that we don't get a grid?

That's just a temporary tile under stations, not final. We have base tiles under work.

The wagon scale was meant to be railyard tile, with track ballast and sand near it.

I meant pixels, not sprites..

And I am talking about all the sprites in the top here:

Here I go again, another version of the wagon scale hut, based on the one at Iisalmi yard...

And also, I made a small switch shed.

Okay, we'll do that when time permits.

I've got most of interlocking building sprites ready here. Just need to work out base tiles, waiting for reply from Michael Blunk, if we can use some of his work on NewStations set.

[kyosuke1989]

Here's update to signals. Revised old and new type signals now available.

Hmm lets have some activity here, summers coming to an end and evenings are getting darker, also weather is poor at the moment. What would be nicer thing to do than do some sprites

Kyosuke asked me to do the station of Iisalmi and of course I agreed. It is pretty similar with the station of Kokkola I drawed earlier. Here's what I've done sofar. I'm gonna do all the 4 views of it. I think I'll do rest of the views from Kokkola aswell and before I can continue with Kälviä, I need to go onsite and take few pics of it.

Here's the Iisalmi station irl -> http://vaunut.org/kuva/55058

Edit

Again it happened, made the station too big

Fortunately it's not that serious. Already reworked it and I did all the views, only needs to be paint with correct TTD palette colors. If you wonder why it's gray, it is because I made 3D model first and rendered it.

[johannes]

Iisalmi is pretty much done, only need to improve windows

[kyosuke1989]

Stunning quality! I've never seen such details on sprites. You modeled the Iisalmi station as 3D, hmm. Did you use Google SketchUp or something other to model?

I'll update the FRISS tracking page when you have finished the Iisalmi sprites.

[johannes]

Thanks

Modeled all in 3D Studio Max 8 and rendered all angles in it. Then in Paint Shop Pro I converted colors to use TTDWin palette. Didn't leave much to edit, I only need to clean some darker edges around the sprite.

Edit

Finished..

Truly amazing quality!

[Benny]

That would even qualify as a Sim City 4 sprite! Stunningly detailed, and the light looks perfect.

[johannes]

Thanks, I doubt though if it would be good for Sim City 4

Here's Kokkola, roof didn't come out very well when I converted image to use TTD palette. Need to fix it before it is final. Also if there is something that needs fixing I'd be glad to know it

[johannes]

Not station this time, small red warehouse from Kurkimaki

[DanMacK]

Looking great! Excellent work, keep it up.

[cmoiromain]

Those are incredibly pretty! They look like 32bpp sprites!

[Purno]

Now, those graphics really look awesome! Keep it up!

[ISA]

The quality put me in bewilder johannes

[johannes]

Thanks, nice to hear you like them

Now that I got few stations almost done I'd like to test them ingame aswell. Could someone push me in the right direction how to put them ingame? Is there somekind of guide to GRF Maker for example? I know how to put trains or road vehicles but stations made me confused

[ISA]

Stations is the hardest thing to code as far as I know!
