Transport Tycoon Forums

These are my first TT graphics EVER, so don't be too hard on me. Bear in mind that this is a work in progress, so some dimensions, the shadows and colours will be changed to fit better with the standards. My intention was to make a gold mine, but I guess it could be any type of mine.

Opinions?

Personally I think that's great. It looks about how I might imagine a gold mine.

Though, I've never seen one before, so Im not sure how realistic it is.

I know diddly-squit about graphics - still, it looks pretty darned good from where I'm sitting!
Well Done!

nice...show us what it looks like with official camera/lightning setup too

Hi, nice start, it is look good!
What are you using? Blender, 3dsmax...?

I like it very much. Can't wait to see it in-game.

Looks good, but isn't the design abit too....... 1700's?

You're absolutely right, but I thought it would look good with the old steam engines. Maybe I'll do a modern version of it as well.

Thanks everyone for the comments. I'll finish it next week and add the official camera/lightning setup.

It looks pretty realistic to what coal mines look like here in Eastern Kentucky. Really not far off at all.

Wouldn't it be possible to make a set with multiple graphics for one industry that changes over time?

I mean, TTRS does that with houses... and with the bank actually. So it should be possible for other industries aswell, shouldn't it?

I believe George's ECS implementation already employs that functionality.

Yes!! It does for Factory only ..

I've thought of that as well. Personally, I thought it would be really cool if you could begin in the early 1800's and build railroads between gold mines and small town banks.

All you need is to draw missing stages

I'm using 3ds Max. I've downloaded and tried the official lightning and camera setup, but then what? Do I have to apply the materials after exporting it to Blender, or can I use the official materials in 3ds Max? And what software should I use to convert the max-files?

I believe Ben did a 3d Max template too.. Might be wrong though...You better contact him (Ben_Robbins_)

I am using 3ds max too. And I make there everything!!! Only what you must set in materials - you must go to DIFFUSE COLOUR -> OUTPUT -> RGB OUTPUT = 0.3

If you have any other question, ask me or Ben.

Thank you! What a relief. Now I can concentrate on the design instead of learning Blender. Anyway, I'm sure I read that everything has to be exported to .blend. Has that changed?

I'll PM Ben Robbins and ask for the materials, because I didn't find them.

By the way, I sat here last night and browsed through your work and it looks truly awesome. Are there any sprites and materials for the trees you are using?

Have you read this article?

Yes, but it doesn't contain all the necessary information.
