Godlord Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 I am currently working on tiles for an isometric projection. Not focusing on making grass, water, dirt, etc. neither do I care about a light source atm. Generally I am making the tiles so that they perfectly fit. The lines are there to aid in my tests.A sample so far:Regards, Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Irhymer Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I like it! Gives a really cool 3D feel ;)-Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Looks good except what's with the wierd lip on the backside tiles?Also are those steep slopes the equivalent of 2 rises? Will there be multiple levels and terracing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godlord Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 @Anna:> Looks good except what's with the wierd lip on the backside tiles?> > Also are those steep slopes the equivalent of 2 rises? Will there be multiple levels and terracing?Not sure what you mean exactly with "lip", but if you meant the lines that form the grid, that's only there for testing if the tiles fit properly. They will be removed once I make actual tiles.As for the steep slopes, they are the equivalent of two rises. I am actually aiming to have multiple levels and perhaps terracing in the actual game, but at the moment I am only working on the graphical part since the programming part is a different cup of tea (have to write an algorithm for rendering those tiles specifically).Then I also have to work on the perpendicular slopes (that will make it look like cliffs). I guess I'll do that after I finish my other steep slopes.Regards, Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Comnena Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Hmm yeah I was always wondering how to do that; obviously there would have to be a position offset for "higher" positions, but I'm not a coder so that design architecture I was never sure about.Looking closer, never mind about my comment about the "lip", since to take out that lip the grids wouldn't line up properly. Basically I'm referring to the 2-4 pixels at the end of the top line that break the straight-edge on that perspective. It's most likely just obvious because of the thick gridlines for referential purposes, and it wouldn't be noticeable with a textured tile anyway.

Dark Crusade Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Try making the grass a tad less cyan. Play with it's hue a bit. Also, some variety could be good, some grass bits could be a little darker then others or such. (:Nice going though. (: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The grass I made actually reminded me of the tiberium in Command & Conquer Tiberian Dawn/Tiberium Sun.**Addendum**: made a new palette and recoloured the grass. Seems to be more lively now.Regards, Stephan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
