32bit Extra Zoom Graphics Works In Progress

[DeletedUser5]

About farm tiles: I coded those using own offsets (that work with other graphics by Alltaken). I could try to find some time to fix it.

GeekToo: Yes, there's something wrong with it and I don't know what it is either, but it looks like something with the roof.

Construction stage of the group of town houses. I'm not completely satisfied with it, something does not seem right, but I cannot put my finger what it is exactly. Please let me know what you think of it .

Indeed something is wrong. IMO it is: the 1st floor is not the same colour as the basement
the attic is a bit empty: it should contain pieces of wood for the construction, and more importantly a door or something to get up there.
the roof is split in two between the two houses (the ones on the right). There should be only one roof with a wall in the middle, not two.
the garder is a little empty... You should add some trails, and a couple of construction machines.

I don't know much about construction, but my ideas (excuse me if I don't use the right English terms, finding the correct translations isn't easy):
- That 'top' floor of the house on the left doesn't have any inner walls. since there's a floor above, you probably need at least one carrying wall, which is constructed together with the outer walls.
- I don't think that top beam is placed before all the trusses are put in place, and in some designs it's not even there until the sheeting and isolation is added.
- Most clearly on the house on the right; the lower horizontal beams seem to 'float' in midair. The diagonal most-right beam seems to be connected to the brick wall by cement? That seems quite a big inner wall, and if there's a top beam it would go over that I guess. Also, these trusses usually have a horizontal beam between the two diagonals : /-\ . That's at the height of the ceiling, in this design I guess at the top of those 'outstanding windows'.
- The beams seem a bit light. Or there's some other things with the lighting here.
- I guess you're going to work on the ground/sand texture and add construction equipment?

I've updated the Stanier Jubilee. Now, a newgrf is included in the .tar file. If disabled, only the sprites in the trg1r will be replaced, so it looks mostly like the old version, although I've modified the colours a bit so that they better match the ones of the wagons. If enabled, however, the Jubilee will have a tender...

The train looks great! Really good work, Teemes.

[Slye_Fox]

That's awsome work.

[maquinista]

Is very good!

[Varivar]

I was a bit bored by doing buildings, so I decided to draw a truck. I've chosen for the UHL Steel truck. The front is inspired byGramble's goods truck. If you like it, I'll render all the images and mask files.

Yes, I like It!

Also, I think that the Gramble's goods truck is very good, and He could release it.

[DeletedUser5]

Yep, I think we like it. At least I do, not sure about everybody else. But hmm... why the almost completely transparent pixels in the windscreen.

[Teemes]

Me, too! Go ahead, give us the other renders. The model could also be modified for other goods. Keep on trucking...

Nice to hear that everybody likes it . Be patient, my computer is working hard to render all images.

I think I'll use this model for all trucks of this type.

-edit-
I managed to render all images and mask files! They are in the attachment. I hope I didn't make any mistakes.

[GeekToo]

Varivar, that's a very good looking truck!
I've got only one remark, I think the wheels look rather flat, maybe you could detail them a little (if you're using Blender, I would be glad to send you the wheels I used on the Foster bus http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=640310#p640310 , just PM me)

Thanks

That's very kind of you, but I don't think I'll need your model. I can draw such wheels by myself too. But your Foster bus looks nice

-edit-
I've improved the wheels and I've fixed the shadow problem. See the attachments.

[Varivar]

Here is another truck, the Foster Wood Truck.

[GeekToo]

Thanks, the wheels are a lot better now!

I think they are ready for coding already, but to make them really perfect, I think Soeb is right. The windows, especially the drivers window look a little too blue, maybe you should make them a little darker. I took a look at some pictures of real trucks, and the interior is rather dark

But that's just a detail, I think you did a great job.

[DeletedUser5]

Yes, I do think that to, and if I'll be fast enough I'll be the one who coded them. Really great work.

I agree that they are to light and transparent. I've made them darker and less transparent. See the attachments.

[GeekToo]

Much better!

Maybe this helps in coding: http://www.tt-forums.net/viewtopic.php?p=722906#p722906

The mask files don't need to be coded

[LordAzamath]

Btw, you've got same designs on different firms ..
In-game uhl and foster noses look differently (IIRC )
