lol, i dont know, i just thought the idea was funny....
But here is a passenger boat that could be used for the years 2010 and over....

Andythenorth - what do you use for models creation - 3d or pixel painting? Maybe we could create together anything?
i'll make the ship and you - different superstructure on it?

This page is quite popular here on TT-forums, I have seen it linekd from here at least two times before

The designs are cool anyways, many of them would look great in 2030+.

Pixel painting all the way, although I do know how to to model and render. When I taught myself CGI, the first thing I made was a ship. I'd like to contribute, but right now I'm committed to drawing for the Heavy Equipment set and finishing some ISR sprites. However if you need cranes, cargo, greeble etc then I might be able to help.

cheers,

Narrow boats

ship's hold

im trying to use these as a 32bpp sprite, but it doesnt work. (i just wanted to try)

Could somebody create a grf with those boats? thanks in advance!

That was an idea I had when I was working on a US vehicle set. I was planning three sets of sprites for some vehicles: realistic (for the cargo type), 2CC, and a livery refit that would give some variety. For example, a bus might have a realistic paint scheme, a 2cc version, and a school bus version for variety. A truck could have a refit to realistic, 2CC and a snowplow, etc.

If ships can have a livery refit, then you could have a set of submarine sprites for the oil tanker, a set of warship sprites for the cargo ship, a set of coastguard cutter sprites for the fast ferry, etc. They would still work exactly the same, but would break up those endless parades of identical ships.

But (i know its gonna sound noobish.. ), when are we going to be able to get a grf file with all of those boats?

and here i another boat you should try to make: http://www.darkroastedblend.com/2006/12 ... art-1.html
It will probably be very big!!!!!!

Also, somebody should try to do a submarine... the idea would be to just have a shadow drwan instead of a boat when its moving and when it stops, it comes out of the water....

It was posted in the other graphics thread.

thanks! i hope it will be updated with the new ones too!

narrow boat update (just a little)

Benson ford.
DanMack, we need simplify the ship, because it looks weird at this scale empty

loaded ship's hold

benson with simple front superstructure

Can I make ship do not depart far from the shore? This option could be usefull for ship classification (class - river/sea, river, sea)

Awww its so CUTE!

Very cool lead@inbox!

The options for coding ships are very limited, at the moment there is no way to restrict where ships can travel (eg. canal only/coast only/all).

Awesome work, all of you!

Excellent work Great representation of a Laker. Love the canal boat too, great work.
