Most done. The other half of the tram is this one, but the sprites re aranged. I am not sure about the ellectric pantos or whatever you call them.

Here is it.

As I said I am not perfect and the tram is very hard and kinda weird to make. If you want it better than edit it, I am not a good artist so thus I am not that good at the shapes.

The red and blue colours are kinda wrong and I will fix them.

Maybe we could fuse the best bits of the trains together and make a better tram.

well, so far, mine is still a box in only one dimension...

Ok. You need to spend around 1 hour on the shape as it is very hard. I tell you it is even worse then trying to make a 100 storey building pixel by pixel.

It actually looks pretty decent for a first attempt to be honet.

EDIT: Will be updating website later on, so if we get anything that looks like a possible candidate i will add it to the webby. And if it gets edited, i'll just update the site :D

Improved the look abit. I just need to edit the red and the blue colours then the middle coach and I am done.

Looking nice :)

The only thing i have against it, is no pylon to connect to the overhead cables, but don't worry, at this moment im not striding for absolute realism ;)

I looked at the picture and seen that the panton was in the middle car, but if you want me too I will add it to the end ones instead.

It's looking better. One small criticism is that the front shoulder be so streamlined. If you look at the middle picture that Captain Kirk attached on the middle page the front is almost vertical, it is only slightly angled. The front of the tram you have drawn looks more like a High Speed Train. Otherwise good.

I will raise the / and the \ view by one pixel and change the other views accorningly.

Edit : Fixed the colours and raised the front by one pixel.

I think I will leave it at that and draw a normal passenger wagon with the place a panton goes and maybe you m4rek could draw some pantons, because for one I am no good at them.

Website Updated, and Categorized better.


Does anyone know the limitations of Trams? I means, can they have carridges like trains?

Posted: 08 Oct 2006 12:56
by graphics_master
I belive the trams limit would be the same as trains.

I would think so, If thats the case we need some nice passenger carriadges to suit all the liveries of the different trams. (check the website for current liveries, we also need to do different views for the blackpool ones)

EDIT: Anyone know about trams in Scotland & Ireland, ive looked but cant find anything, and its only fair to include a few, as they are in Britain.

Ok. I have made a preview of the carriage and the engine (without the panton) I need to reverse the image and re colour to get the other sprites for the engine.
