Re: My first house... Reply #1 – August 29, 2009, 06:02:55 am It's a good start. But some things to consider:1. Texture - notice how houses in the game use textures to look nice (except the comic paks)2. Shading - look at houses - not every surface is the same brightness3. Scale - it doesn't look like it fits the scale of the gameBut it's a good start. Check out the wiki for a lot of helpful information on how to make your drawings look good. And of course, you'll need to write a dat file and run makeobj to get it into the game EDIT: Didn't catch it was for pak96 comic. heh.

Re: My first house... Reply #3 – August 29, 2009, 08:29:16 am Size is ok for pak 96. Texures aren't needed, it's comic style. Some more details would be good, but it's a good start.Shading is needed to make it appear 3-dimensional. The right wall facing east (bottom right) needs to be darker than the other one.The minimum-dat to pak it looks like thisCode: [Select]Obj=buildingname=housecopyright=your namelevel=5Type=resBackImage[0][0][0][0][0][0]=House1pak96.comic.0.0you can pak it online at: http://online-dat.simutrans-germany.com/ Quote Selected

Re: My first house... Reply #6 – August 29, 2009, 11:43:27 am Some problems:Your house-wall is 38px -> that are 3 floors. You have only 2 floors. A floor is ca. 13px.Your window is crooked. Is that intentional?Your walls need on right a darker color, because the sun shines from left bottom.Your roof is to empty.The color from the ground is not ok.I have tried to show you some changes:- wall color- front black line between the walls in color- smaller door- new windows- new roof (not complete)- new ground with pavementYou can paint it further or you use some changes in your own grafic.
