New on GRF creating

Post by Thokeren »

Hi, I'm new here.

I want to create some NewGRF specially on trains. I want to create a huge variation of trains (from 1830 to 2050).
After that I would to continue with road vehicles (from 1830 to 2050).


But, there are some points, first where can I see the TTD palette and where can I find some tips for creating them. I have some experience with Photoshop and I don't know it could be so hard to do them.

Regards!

You can find the palettes for different programs here. You probably need this one, but the others are listed under the first link.

Hi, thank you for responses. I downloaded DOS palette for Photoshop. I'm looking for vehicle sizes but I don't find them. Where can I see them? I mean pixel size of each vehicle on each angle.


EDIT: I made my first test with that. What do you think about? :lol:

The locomotive is "Rockett" the locomotive created by George Stephenson. It will be the first train of my GRF. :P

Hi, thanks michael, that could be very useful for me.

I made my first test with the engine and some wagons, only lateral view... (I'm having problems doing diagonal view...)
