MsNobody Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Amanda, where you have the shadow, it looks like someones mowed the lawn. How do I fix that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiVaio Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 How do I fix that? Just give it texture like you did with the rest of you grass tile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCspeed34 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 And I would add a nice fence around that pool. ________________________________________ 専車SODO-MOTO International Vehicle Importers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4ourteen Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 1. Make you own building instead of a copying someone elses. A modification of anuj's example is not going to make it into the city. I can almost guarantee you. 2. Your shadows are messed up. The house has a 45 degree angle shadow. But the trees have a 90 degree shadow? You should only have one light source. Not two. 3. All your shadows have no texture. You don't just go over a texture with a darker color. Do it pixel my pixel. 4. Be original, make your own building.

This is the first time I've seriously attempted pixeling buildings. I'll work on another one but who knows how long that will take me. Thanks for the advice guys.

ViceDog Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 (edited) Honestly smithers i think it's pretty good compared too mine, this is my first actual in progress pixel.

ChibiMAK Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 mmmm, first attempt, no real reason, just got bored and made it:http://img175.exs.cx/img175/7299/townhall0el.gif (Don't bother telling me it's sh*t, I already know.) It looks like you cheated quite a bit with aaing or blurring or something... and aaing the paint bucket really came back to bite you in the ass. It's a complete mess. I think it's sh*t, but still better than around 50% or the sh*t people have been showing off here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Sure I cheated, I cheated my arse off, it's what I do. I cheated so much that I made a wireframe model of the building before making it and then traced it out. Some of the work done in photoshop aye, I do cheating for a living, without cheating, no point. Now, why the f*ck did you tell me it's sh*t, I told you I don't wanna hear people telling me it's sh*t already, let's read closer in future. adam broke it.

Dr. Stupid Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 mmmm, first attempt, no real reason, just got bored and made it: (Don't bother telling me it's sh*t, I already know.) It's not great, but it looks like the freakin' Mona Lisa compared to my last sh*tty attempt. In fact, I'm scrapping the city hall entirely. If anybody wants to, they could make a better city hall, one that proves they have a shred of pixelling talent. I mean, it kinda makes sense for a city to have a city hall. I'll go lock myself in my room and cry for a little while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zinklesmesh Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 WIP, just wanted to know what people think at the moment. That might not stay as that colour. No offense, but that looks kinda bad pointless bright lines all over the place, and why is the garage the same size as the double doors? (should be bigger) btw the roof texture needs 2-3 more colors, and the rest of the building needs texturing as well. also, the shadow is off, light comes from the northwest i think. well, good luck i guess. PS make a path from the road to the double-doors and possibly add some stuff to the roof too (roof stairway hatches, air conditioning boxes, satellites, etc...)

Yuck Fou Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I'd contribute if I didn't still suck royal ass at pixeling, but I showed a friend this thread... and he just kicks ass at all things "art", even though he's never pixeled before I'm sure it will turn out great. So sometime in the near future I'm sure he'll slap something together half decent and post it in here... if I can motivate him to join up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technical Difficulty Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 WIP, just wanted to know what people think at the moment. That might not stay as that colour. There's two different shadowing spots, what's up with that? The south-eastern side of the building is dark & then there is shadow on the north-east side.

Slick Willy Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 That is truly sick Dakin, bravo. I've made a few attempts and have been studying some tutorials, I may or may not turn out an entry, it's fun nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Joe's: Went for a seedy bar/venue thing. hawt. That is what everyone else needs to try to accomplish.. something like that. Dakin: that big wall with nothing on it seems kind of empty.. maybe add a couple of more windows on it? The wall textures look kickass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reactor. Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Here's my basketball court finished. Tell me what you think of it before I add in the hoops. Doing the circles and getting them right at an angle was hard, but I'm pleased with the result. Also, I'm debating whether to have a fence around it, because with a fence, the ball won't bounce out into the street, but if I add in a fence it will cover a fair bit of the linework I spent a lot of time on. Yeah, so, can someone please give their view on this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I'm just going to make a list. nice job with the court. lets see some hoops. the windows are still too saturated. texture the roof of the building a little more. keep at it, its looking promising. @vac: so true.

VideoPoker Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Looks good so far rector. Hurry up and finish it. Anyways, I thought I'd finish a building before I took a little while off due to computer issues. Not sure if I like the plaza part since it's somewhat bare. I based it off of a building from Sim City 4 Moonshield's less handsome join date brother <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaj. Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I kind fo gave up on my last one, so here's my second try at pixelling. Let me know if I can try and make something look better. And it's supposed to be a casino-type thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PSXtreme Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 colors suck. windows aren't in plane with the pyramid. are those black outlines? umm yeah, no more comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaj. Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Uhh, f*ck. Thanks for pointing those out. I'll work on changing them later, but what colour's should I use? And about plaining the windows, would I gradually increase the angle of the windows once I got closer to the middle, or would I just use a set angle to make it less of a hassle?

VideoPoker Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I didn't forget. Shadows on pixel cities like this suck. Because that building would cast a large shadow, yet I couldn't do that because of different entries. Plus the roads overlapping are going to f*ck up most shadows anyways. I darkened that side, but no actual shadows. Pretend it's an overcast day Moonshield's less handsome join date brother <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
