New Graphics - Blender ".blend" thread (Works In Progress)

There have been WIPs (this is the latest) but no downloadable release as of yet.

I remember this work..it is 2 years old..it is beautiful, why isn't coded yet?

You didn't code it.

It isn't a my work..and unfortunately I'm not able to code, otherwise I did it...

[Jupix]

I PM'd him, let's see if he'll drop by.

[maquinista]

I can code it if It is released under GPL license (or other compatible license) and nobody complaints about it (for example "this post is too dark", "this tree is too small"...).

I have modified some railway sprites because there aren't z2 zoom level at this moment.

I think that "|" rails looks good, but "/" rails needs a bit more work.

What do You think?

[Jupix]

The sprite with the parallel running tracks (||) looks strangely blurred. Other than that, they look nice.

[FooBar]

They look a bit narrow to me, but maybe that's just because the ballast is narrow.

Also what Jupix pointed out. The ground tile those tracks are on looks different as well. Maybe you just haven't made those yet? Because it looks fine in the separate track to the left.

[maquinista]

Yes, this tile "<||>" was not done yet.

I have made more tiles, and I have fixed "/" and "" tiles. If You like It, I can follow.

[Lord Aro]

they look good, however as previously discussed, the grass tile is bad as it overlaps the tile borders

[maquinista]

Yes, It is a problem, but... It looks very realistic at z0 zoom level.

[Lord Aro]

Tough, unfortunately. If we ever want to have these sprites included in some form of OGFX, they need to be fixed/changed in some way...

[maquinista]

I have done all sprites with lines. Maybe I need more work on slope sprites. If You like them I can make sprites without lines.

[maquinista]

I will start to code bridge tiles at z0 (update), z1 and z2 zoom levels.

If You don't like the concrete surface or You don't like the straight railway tiles ("/" and ""), please, say it before all the work is done.

I include the "sources" of my changes here.

About small airport: I need a small wood building. Remember that only the control tower and the water depot can be high. The other part shouldn't cover the previous tile, because It doesn't have a "top sprite" and It could be covered if something is built on this tile.

[maquinista]

Here are the pieces done so far. The lightning is quite dark because I accidentally removed the light source when moving the pieces together.
Can someone tell wich pieces have to be made, and can I get somwhere a slope piece to make tunnel and a slope?

I need some maglev sprites.

My idea is to code all bridge sprites (railway, molorail and maglev) at the same time.

Hi,

I tried to create my first sprite 1466.

It's OK?

Looks like a nice first effort

I like it.

Don't add a ground plane (floor), the original sprite doesn't have it (It's placed over sprite 1420). This sprite have two construction stages.

[Jupix]

Great looking building.

Don't forget that shadows cannot extend over the tile boundary, else you will get rendering errors.

[maquinista]

This is false, a transparent shadow can extend over the tile boundary a bit. I know that 128 px out is not a problem.
