Take a look at the attachment. This is how I usually texture things.

ok, did some texturing and noise.... whaddaya think?

Purno · Post by **Purno** » 02 Oct 2006 13:27

Looking better! I'd suggest texturing the grass and the windows too. And perhaps there's some details you can add to the grass, such as flowers or trees.

i think ill leave the windows as they are...until they actually do pose a problem anyway

as for grass...ill do that as soon as i can...then theres flowers trees and so on...ill consider them

I tried some stuff on the windows

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 05 Oct 2006 12:45

got the grass textured and added a tree...

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 05 Oct 2006 19:23

ok, so the tree is pretty crap, any comments?

SAC · Post by **SAC** » 05 Oct 2006 19:59

Could be me, but some things are more difficult to view with a white background!

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 05 Oct 2006 20:07

ok, with a blue background, and with a version with a better tree

I think it looks wonderful. Great work! If anything - and that's my personal opinion - I'd make some changes to the windows. Perhaps a bit darkened!

But again, it's a matter of taste - and opinions!

As for the tree, the bottom one looks better then the upper.

got some windows done, what do you think?

SAC · Post by **SAC** » 06 Oct 2006 12:54

Much better! I prefer the 4th building from top to right. The windows are more distinctive, (is that a word??), yet not "stealing" the impression of the building in whole. The last one, the 5th, have windows that sticks out too much! Again, my personal opinion of course.

That doesn't mean the 5th building isn't as good as the 4th. They're equal in quality as far as I can tell and judge, but the windows on the latter fits an office building more then a residential one!

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 06 Oct 2006 16:42

that sounds about right, i guess ill keep those windows for another building , ie. a modern office block

im currently mentally planning anew HQ, a really big one... the full 255 pixels!

anyway, i appreciate the comments and i will soon upload my building sprite, a mockup, and i will start on the construction sprites

question: how many construction stages can i have?

Post by **Dave** » 06 Oct 2006 18:51

Four, isn't it?

m4rek · Post by **m4rek** » 14 Oct 2006 12:51

Looking good IMO. Keep up the good work!

Needs more texture, but looking pretty good
