Here it is.

Thanks, I will use it.

The first stage is easier to render, because You only need remove the building and some fences. Also, there are a final stage modeled but untextured that It could be useful:

You don't have to remove things, you can just open another layer. The first three layers contains buildings.

Varivar's trucks v4- now with 100% more vitamin C

btw, varivar, brupje, maquinista: nice work on those buildings - I hope the updated grass of the company hq will blend in well with the regular grass tiles.
Maquinista, to only render a shadow on the ground without rendering the ground itself (the problem you mentioned on the previous page of this thread), you have to set the OnlySha(dows) option in the shaders tab for the ground's material. You wont see the shadow in the blender render window (as the background should be black, too), but you will see it in the final image after saving it.

Thanks

Here a first attempt for the futuristic tower

The building is very good. Keep it without ground, because the original sprite doesn't have it.

Thanks, will do

I only feel like there is something missing on the blue cubicles. Can't figure it out yet what it is.

Thanks, we should do more sharing

It looks very nice. But technically I'd say that with this type of building the outer wall is added after the base columns and floor are built.
That's how I thought some other big (office) building was made too.

- Don't want to be too much of a criticizer though, since all this work you guys are doing here is just great!

I have coded It, and It is a very good model.
Varivar: remember that the other building (sprites 4420-4423) only needs the building, the ground is shared with the building that I coded.

Final for the futuristic tower, I made it less toony and added some textures.

Don't know which colors are required, couldn't find it in the sprites. :S

... and a building stage

... and building stage 2 for modernofficebuilding

Nice building! You don't have to render all colors seperately, you only need a mask file. How to generate such a file is discribed here. This is how a mask file should look (from the water truck). Amask file "masks the areas which should be colored. Then the game will do the coloring part.

Thanks Teemes and Maquinista for coding

I was afraid of that, the reflection in the tower might get interesting

The reflection doesn't have to be a problem, if you add the reflective parts to the mask file. But you have to do that by hand (in GIMP or so).

This model is simple, I can create their colour masks easily.

Well here is what I got so far, please go ahead

Just to say i love watching this thread as it always looks so good

Keep up the good work

I have added the latest models. A ground shadow would be better in the futuristic tower, but I think that It is good enough. I prefer a custom building placement tool with construction stages.

The desert roads are 1 pixel down, It creates some random pixels in the borders.

brupje wrote:... and building stage 1 for modernofficebuilding

Just make sure pillars are of same width with ones of stage 2. They seem thinner here.
Nice stuff!

I'll see what I can do about it when I get home.
