[orchid sorrel]

lol

(I don't get why would people want that)

[charred skiff]

yeah

so why do we not have the road markings?

[crimson basin]

what road marking

yours?

[charred skiff]

yeah

[crimson basin]

i think it would be nicer to have something more discrete instead of a like 15 foot board

as kulche said, add noise and shadows

[charred skiff]

wdym by noise?

[orchid sorrel]

gaussian noise

[charred skiff]

how to do it?

[lavish sail]

Grain in the photo

[orchid sorrel]

perlin noise is also nice on a larger scale, but I don't think your plugin is applicable

[charred skiff]

but how?

[orchid sorrel]

you draw it

[lavish sail]

manually?

it not that hard

[orchid sorrel]

or use your software's inbuilt noise functions

[charred skiff]

blender vibes

[orchid sorrel]

...?

[charred skiff]

but why i need that noise?

[orchid sorrel]

because that's how the game's style looks like

I already told you that

[hardy anvil]

Hey btw can this be called cyberpunk?
#plugin-discussion message

[lavish sail]

add age-like look to the building

without noise they looks like they made of plastic

[crimson basin]

[charred skiff]

how to add noise??

[lavish sail]

Absolutely yes with atmosphere H shader

[orchid sorrel]

man, if you don't know how to make a bunch of pixels darker or brighter you really shouldn't call yourself a "professional" lmao

just google what noise is in computer graphics

[charred skiff]

i ussually dont add noise to my arts

i never add

[hardy anvil]

Noise

[charred skiff]

btw, from the start (when i joined this server) you are insulting me

[orchid sorrel]

I fail to see the insults

[charred skiff]

i understood, but idk how to add it

[lavish sail]

Kulche, what if he just want to know if there any effective/easy ways to do it?

Maybe he really a professional

[hardy anvil]

What application do you use?

[orchid sorrel]

the most effective way is to click "add noise"

[charred skiff]

Aseprite

[orchid sorrel]

that's it

aseprite doesn't have that but there certainly is a plugin for noise

aseprite will be generally rather mid in comparison to eg paint.net because of how the game's stylized

[charred skiff]

ok

[crimson basin]

game?

[orchid sorrel]

??????

[crimson basin]

aseprite

[orchid sorrel]

theotown

is the game

and it is stylized

[eager oriole]

You didn't understand right? He talks about color theory because the color theory makes anything better (in colors)

wait. Whats dude doing?

[orchid sorrel]

I'm trying to figure it out too

[hardy anvil]

[charred skiff]

i will use my addons privately then

if you dont accept them

[orchid sorrel]

sure thing

you can always use the showcase section on the forums

[charred skiff]

what is that used for?

[orchid sorrel]

to upload your plugins

for free

of course they wont appear in the plugin store thouhg

[charred skiff]

okay

[charred skiff]

but can you give an idea on what i can draw to make my skills better

[orchid sorrel]

a simple single family house

maybe an office

[charred skiff]

hmm

okay

what canvas size is good for something like that?

[orchid sorrel]

use templates from the pins

[charred skiff]

okay

is baseplate 4x 4 good?

[orchid sorrel]

that's large

start with 1x1 or 2x2

[charred skiff]

ok

[lavish sail]

I hope it wont get private? I love this style of buildings

[golden hare]

No, it will be public, the thing is that I still have to investigate how to publish the plugin

[lavish sail]

Yaaay

[lavish sail]

how to publish the plugin? Just button "upload" on forum-plugin store

[golden hare]

Ok, thank!

[charred skiff]

i finished

something like this

[lavish sail]

Uh

[charred skiff]

is it good?

[lavish sail]

Not really tbh

[charred skiff]

yeah

how i can improve it?

[whole knoll]

Texture

[charred skiff]

in what way?

[whole knoll]

And shading

Da walls

[charred skiff]

make it darker?

[whole knoll]

Half darker, half lighter

[charred skiff]

?

[whole knoll]

This, don't use 1 color only. Use other color to make textured on the wall

[whole knoll]

Manul has send picture of his town using file. You open them?

[lavish sail]

Didnt saw them

[charred skiff]

fixed

[whole knoll]

Hmm... People actually smart today, and they can hack someone use file

[charred skiff]

there is no function to do that in aseprite

[whole knoll]

Exp: jpg file

[whole knoll]

Up to you

[charred skiff]

i want to do it

let me try

[charred skiff]

when i take a screenshot the pen tool stucks

it is the pixel of it

[charred skiff]

nah bro, i drew small office thing and did 1000 mistakes

[lavish sail]

So this #plugin-discussion message

[charred skiff]

plugins are not for me

[lavish sail]

uh

if you really want to try, dont give up

Just create easier form, use pins

[charred skiff]

i want, but i cant

(

[lavish sail]

Theyre really help

[lavish sail]

Keep trying

[charred skiff]

i try and try and try again

[charred skiff]

but afterall the result is this ugly thing

[lavish sail]

You cna try something very easy

[charred skiff]

it is something easy

but i even failed this

[lavish sail]

My first one was just a box with 6 floors and some easy details

I can even drop you this picture, but i not with my laptop rn

Just try to box with bricky/easy details and some windows

All steps you can see in the pins @charred skiff

[charred skiff]

hmm

okay

i will try to draw something tomorrow

i am tired now

[lavish sail]

gn

[charred skiff]

thanks)

btw

you are the nicest guy that i met here

i appreciate your motivation and help)

btw

[lavish sail]

yo 😃

[charred skiff]

[lavish sail]

We all start from somewhere

[lavish sail]

[charred skiff]

yeah)

[charred skiff]

3% blue value

[charred skiff]

okay

[hardy anvil]

Wip

[charred skiff]

new masterpiece?

[lavish sail]

why its rotated 😭

[frigid tusk]

Jeffri, when will you make a bad plugin?

[lavish sail]

my brain hurts when i look on it

[hardy anvil]

Not Just a Plugin

[frigid tusk]

Curious how great creators do when they have to draw badly

Do they do a magnificent garbage? Or a trash masterpiece

[lavish sail]

They draw buildings from #plugin-suggestions

[frigid tusk]

Fr

[crimson basin]

when they have to draw badly? wdym

[frigid tusk]

Never seen a great creator do something messed up

If you want an example: Kekman doing smth with no noise

[lavish sail]

then i isnt great 😭
I need to improve

[frigid tusk]

Ankhatori doing smth small

Mew doing something isometric

[lavish sail]

Lobby doing pickle overlay

JA doing HD overlay

[hardy anvil]

I'm drawing for Commission
Someone pays me 3,23 dollar For this plugins

[frigid tusk]

what

[lavish sail]

wait

[frigid tusk]

Why 3.23

[lavish sail]

fr?

[frigid tusk]

What about 3.20

[charred skiff]

i know, but your plugins are just incredible

[hardy anvil]

Yes
This is not for me

[lavish sail]

yo i need to find someone like that person

[charred skiff]

how much i need to pay you for Emirates stadium?

just asking

[hardy anvil]

In Indonesian currency that's around 50,000 rupiah
In US dollars that's around 3.23 dollars

[hardy anvil]

I don't do anything big for the Commission.

[lavish sail]

Oh

[charred skiff]

ok

[lavish sail]

I found out that i posted 100 photos in this channel

🥳 i guess

[eager oriole]

Yes you can. Whats the reason you want to upload plugins?

[eager oriole]

I hear that price and i dead.

Guys. What if a make a pack of these buildings?

that bould be my first try of making buildings with that style

[lavish sail]

Looks nice

Ill download it if you do it :3

[eager oriole]

:)

i'll come back when first building finished

[rain gate]

Yeah!!!!

[lavish sail]

Evening Forge

[eager oriole]

Wait. How animation works for saving plugin space???

[eternal sail]

[lavish sail]

https://forum.theotown.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=14695

If your building have multiple same floors, you can load all of them by single image

[hardy anvil]

Have you seen the cyberpunk building I just made?

[rain gate]

Don’t be hard to yourself

We all start from cero

Nobody is perfect

Your plugins are very good

Just take patience and time
Never give up

😉☺️

[hardy anvil]

Cero 😭
But that's true

[whole knoll]

Hmmmm..... Better if ya downscale a model and put details 1 by 1 @charred skiff

[hardy anvil]

Downscale don't improve your skills

Especially for beginners

[whole knoll]

They can start from that..... Why not trying it?

[eager oriole]

Yeah and its really nice

[hardy anvil]

Not a good start

[eager oriole]

Oooh then that building is cyberpunk??

[echo lotus]

can anyone tell me how to fix this issue

[uncut acorn]

What issue?

[eager oriole]

What issue?

[hardy anvil]

THEOPUNK

[rain gate]

I assume your refering to the blue (your ground shadow) Idk what program your using but use a black brush and set the opacity to whatever you'd like (i use 50%) 1 other thing is that the shadow under the gas station covering is wrong.

[hardy anvil]

@quaint tapir
#plugin-suggestions message GWK already has a plugin

[eager oriole]

Progress of the first building

[eager oriole]

Yeah i'm fixing that

[eternal sail]

Nice

[eager oriole]

Now its made of animation

but i'm gonna add more details

[uncut acorn]

What is that

A cyberpunk building?

[hardy anvil]

Time square
For COMMISSION
Not for me

[uncut acorn]

ah

[whole knoll]

Where I can find stair decal on slope?

[uncut acorn]

The fact that the most accurate one exists

[hardy anvil]

Where

[uncut acorn]

#plugin-showcase message

[hardy anvil]

Not really

Looks different

Maybe it's been mixed

With a cyberpunk theme

[uncut acorn]

Ah I see

[hardy anvil]

Wip

[lavish sail]

niice

[lapis stream]

Release wher and wen

[cerulean cove]

Noice 👍 Though I have a feeling, the actual is taller

[cerulean cove]

That one is based on but not the real one, also I think it’s based on south screen tower. The new one is north screen tower

[cerulean cove]

But it’s a really great one as well

[uncut acorn]

Cool

[winter aurora]

PC tower building lmao

Gamer computer w/ old monitor

[winter aurora]

The original shading was better than last version

[cerulean cove]

Lol this kinda thing is exactly what I’m doing yesterday with terraform

[uncut acorn]

Trying to make basics of this plugin

[charred skiff]

oh, thanks))

[charred skiff]

okay, thanks for motivation, i really appreciate that))

[near flame]

cool you do commission?

[hardy anvil]

Yes

[near flame]

cool

do you advertise your comission in some sort of servers or where

[hardy anvil]

Nowhere
Only if anyone wants it I will make it ( with payment)

[near flame]

i see I see

so if I want to suggest a building

I go to you and pay you right?

[hardy anvil]

Yes If the building is finished

And the plugin 100% will be yours

[near flame]

wow

I will note that in my mind

[cerulean cove]

I like it too, looking forward to more stuff xd. It’s a good choice of building, and plugin is cute xd

[hardy anvil]

Done

[uncut acorn]

How long have you been making this

I’ve done the Sand Blend basics

[hardy anvil]

Yesterday

I didn't sleep for 1 night just to finish this

[uncut acorn]

Oh

Cool

[charred skiff]

oww, thanks) 😊

[golden hare]

I love it

[hardy anvil]

Old time square & new time square

[charred skiff]

new plugin

[lavish sail]

outline?

[weak kestrel]

I wish you will make entire time square exact same 🔥❤️

[charred skiff]

yeah

[weak jewel]

Bro i need that green stuff

[charred skiff]

resized it a bit

[charred skiff]

the baseplate?

[weak jewel]

Yeah

[lavish sail]

Pins

Literally the first message in pins

[weak jewel]

Ok thx

[hardy anvil]

This is the commission plugin
I get paid to draw what he wants.

[buoyant wren]

oh my wow

[buoyant wren]

"green stuff"

yeah what grass

[buoyant wren]

hm wheres the place where that ball is on new years

[uncut acorn]

Ahh now I know why the other one I’ve mentioned looks different

Will you make some remastered of the author’s old plugin

?

[charred skiff]

almost finished

[cerulean cove]

I know it will look great in my nyc 🤣 (I know it’s commission xd

[cerulean cove]

That’s south screen tower, a different one

[charred skiff]

finished

[hardy anvil]

Not really
I was paid for this plugin.

I actually retired from making plugins.
And if I have to make a plugin I will only make it if I get paid.
Or by opening a commission

I retired because I was busy in RL

[cerulean cove]

Pretty noice 👍

[charred skiff]

thanks) btw it is a formula 1 sign

i forgot the text 💀

[cerulean cove]

lol

[lavish sail]

oh

[cerulean cove]

Quite represent the rl one 👍

[lavish sail]

isnt 2x2 too big for that one

[cerulean cove]

May I suggest reduce it to 1x2

[lavish sail]

But nice tho

[charred skiff]

now it is finished

[cerulean cove]

Or 1x1 lol

Just to make it more possible to be used

[lavish sail]

how about add solidness a bit

[charred skiff]

i can make 1 x 2

[lavish sail]

One pixel at left and one pixel at top

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[lavish sail]

Just move it to left-top lol

[lavish sail]

Gimme a sec

[orchid sorrel]

jesus christ that's one humongous sign

[cerulean cove]

It’s just a suggestion, don’t have to, since I’m not sure if rectangle work very well xd

[charred skiff]

1 x 2

[charred skiff]

i just moved it XD

[charred skiff]

yeah

[cerulean cove]

Quite noice, I like it 👍

[charred skiff]

what i can improve?

[cerulean cove]

I think it will be suggested to be 1x1 sooner or later xd

[orchid sorrel]

I guess the isometry and overall texture is better on this one but the scale is completely off

[charred skiff]

yeah maybe

[charred skiff]

if i will do it 1 x 1 then it will look strange

[orchid sorrel]

if it was to scale it'd be like 20 pixels total

[lavish sail]

like this

[cerulean cove]

I think it’s great already, something i can think of: make some word part glow at night, and a 2x1 rotated version, change the board content several version to make it a pack, and so on xd

[charred skiff]

maybe yeah

[charred skiff]

ohhh

okay

wait a sec

[charred skiff]

hmm, i will try to do that

[hardy anvil]

Very very big
Not to theotown scale

[cerulean cove]

And definitely follow pro ⬆️ lol

[charred skiff]

?

[lavish sail]

More contrast

But so

1x1 really would be better

[charred skiff]

but how can i make it small and realistic at the same time?

[charred skiff]

now?

[orchid sorrel]

you simply aren't supposed to represent tiny stuff in theotown

[stoic echo]

make it way smaller than this and then use low alpha white brush for the text

[charred skiff]

transparency?

[stoic echo]

yes

[charred skiff]

okay

[lavish sail]

Bright pixel to this corner

[charred skiff]

?

[charred skiff]

i did it, but it looked not that good

[lavish sail]

pretty nice i think

What about shadows?

[charred skiff]

what size shadows should be?

like the same size as the sign?

[lavish sail]

You cant

Because sprite's size

You may just do it by signs base and add more pixel to place where signs supposed to cast shadow

[charred skiff]

hmm, i didnt understand that quite well

[cerulean cove]

2 example of 1x1 deco

Kinda the scale*

I think 1x1 could work, it’s just will not be a F1 board, but a board looks similar but could be for some other thing, no need to change the current design

[charred skiff]

i will test it in the game

if it will look big i will change it

[lavish sail]

it will)

[cerulean cove]

lol

[cerulean cove]

Good idea

[charred skiff]

idk i want to show all details as in real one

so i think i will not chnage the size

i like showing all details in my arts XD💀

[cerulean cove]

That principal def works xd, as long as it looks noice, there is always ways to use. and it’s your plugin so your decision

[charred skiff]

btw thanks for your ideas)

[cerulean cove]

Np

[eternal sail]

Beatifull

Well I'm going to make this small shopping plaza that I saw for my Mexican buildings pack

[eternal sail]

Its wip

[eager oriole]

Nice but 3 pixels is the hight of a 2 m person in theotown :)

[eager oriole]

Going Nice

[charred skiff]

yeah.... 💀

[hardy anvil]

Nice

[golden hare]

Three buildings in Little Italy, New York, inspired by the style of DutchGuy

[lavish sail]

pls more east coast buildings

[golden hare]

I'm currently doing Manhattan, if you have any suggestions it would help me.

[lavish sail]

theres big need in new york commercial buildings

can you?

[golden hare]

I guess...any specific one?

[lavish sail]

nope

just

many

many athmospheric buildings

you can take GTA4 as reference

[golden hare]

I see

I'll see what I can do.

[eternal sail]

By the way, I'll finish that tomorrow because I feel bad.

[lavish sail]

Good night

[uncut acorn]

ah

[hardy anvil]

Add road

[whole knoll]

Hmm..... Now I need diagonal parking line

[rich birch]

Wow cool

[eager oriole]

Second building

[hoary night]

Futurism plugin?

Shops from Istra, Moscow oblast

[boreal charm]

you are cooking this

but personally, id like a taller variant 🙂

[remote herald]

nice plugin

[hardy anvil]

Start from zero

[buoyant wren]

i mean the guy is right

[uncut acorn]

What are you making

[hardy anvil]

Another Cyberpunk building

[uncut acorn]

Nice

[brittle aurora]

Does someone know why my decoration has water under it?

Oh nvm I need to change the json my bad

[terse ledge]

Yooo
To make the shadow right what present should i use 15%?

Or more than 15?

[hardy anvil]

I usually use 30% opacity

[haughty moth]

Wip

[whole knoll]

What apps?

[eager oriole]

Thanks

[hollow raptor]

Pixly

[whole knoll]

Alright

[hollow raptor]

This app is on Google Play

[red lintel]

Very pretty!

I love your artstyle!!

[fathom furnace]

Guy can u guy show me this plugin

[hollow raptor]

Please rate

[hardy anvil]

There isn't any yet

[fathom furnace]

Nein/nien

[rain gate]

Very very good 👍😁

[eager oriole]

Some one was making a pluign of that

[eager oriole]

8/10 some noise would be nice 👍

[eager oriole]

cool

[weak kestrel]

Is that russian??

[charred skiff]

the shape

[boreal charm]

very nice!

[boreal charm]

everytime you add a floor, the rating increases

[charred skiff]

added some details

[orchid sorrel]

what am i looking at here

[weak kestrel]

Can I ask what's that ??

[charred skiff]

the reference

[neat jacinth]

Building

[weak kestrel]

I feel that, but I guess make it modular

Make 2 part of it ig

[orchid sorrel]

your sketch strays away from that image pretty heavily

[charred skiff]

why?

[charred skiff]

i know

[weak kestrel]

In just 1 it could be not good

It'll be look messy

[charred skiff]

at the end i can just delete the 2 part and make it modular

[weak kestrel]

And if you will make it modular you will gat chance to make more detailed

👍🏻😁

[charred skiff]

yeah maybe

[weak kestrel]

But I appreciate your work, i really want to see Bahrain Skyline in Theo town 👍🏻😁

[charred skiff]

😊 thanks)

[weak kestrel]

But first try some basic skyscraper like squarish or round and then try complicated design, this is the advice of a Real Life Designer 😉

[charred skiff]

so first i wanted to make squarish skyscraper but it was not aesthetically pleasing

[weak kestrel]

You can try anything

[whole knoll]

If you make a plugin, and published in game. Can we see the json code?

Or someone, who wants to see the json code. Can we?

[orchid sorrel]

no

[whole knoll]

Hmm...

🤔

[charred skiff]

yeah)

some more details

[charred skiff]

finished

[whole knoll]

Uh, I need a link to "how rotated Building works" in theotown

[hardy anvil]

I feel like his point of view is wrong
Even when viewed from a diagonal perspective

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[hardy anvil]

Did you make it diagonal or isometric?

[charred skiff]

isometric

some noise

[hardy anvil]

I think these lines are wrong

[charred skiff]

they should be isometric?

[hardy anvil]

Not really but you just need to turn it a little bit

[charred skiff]

can it stay like that? cause there are other lines in between and if i turn them a bit i have to turn everything

[charred skiff]

?

[hardy anvil]

It should be like that

[charred skiff]

hmm, okay i will try to make it like that in my other plugins but in this one it is too late to change

XD

[hardy anvil]

The bottom line should not be too sharp.

[weak kestrel]

Woow

Yeah ik 👍🏻

[charred skiff]

ohh

damn

okay

i will draw newer version after some time

it is just the 1 version

only noise on the blue glass left

[cerulean cove]

That is quick 🤣

Feels like it’s almost done xd

[hardy anvil]

Read below

[cerulean cove]

I know lol (but don’t know exact detail), but feels like some color change for the texture then it prob is good

[charred skiff]

bruh 💀

[hoary night]

😢

[charred skiff]

it is looking bad isn't it?

[hoary night]

I can't even figure out what it is

[charred skiff]

.

💀

[charred skiff]

it is a formula 1 sign

[hoary night]

Try to make a volume

[charred skiff]

wdym?

can someone help me with the shading?

[crimson basin]

sooo

light comes from the top

every top pixel will be lightest

then the ones immediately below would have a shadow on them if this is like a street sign made of metal and plastic

[charred skiff]

?

[crimson basin]

nah keep it a lighter colour but dont shoft the white

like its not a building so it will be the colour but like

[charred skiff]

like this?

[charred skiff]

?

[charred skiff]

?

btw this is the reference

the reference and the drawing

[crimson basin]

this is how id do it them

AO to give the plastic some depth

[charred skiff]

it is not made out of plastic💀

[charred skiff]

btw how did you make the fade on the iron things?

[charred skiff]

also on the reference it is more squarish but you made it more rectangular

[crimson basin]

um but it literally is

[crimson basin]

shadows with dofferent opacities

[crimson basin]

yeahhhhh but you figure that out

[charred skiff]

it is made of thin iron

[charred skiff]

i dont think i have that in asperite

[orchid sorrel]

what...

[charred skiff]

?

[orchid sorrel]

literally the alpha slider

[crimson basin]

kulche is that plastic

[orchid sorrel]

it does exist in aseprite

is what

[charred skiff]

oh

bruh

ok

thx

[crimson basin]

the board

[orchid sorrel]

the reference or your texture

[charred skiff]

looks better

[crimson basin]

reference

[orchid sorrel]

I bet the contrast and saturation can be improved

[crimson basin]

why does the sign look so short

[orchid sorrel]

also it should be darker considering that it's facing right

[orchid sorrel]

looks good to me

[crimson basin]

they gotta be a couple feet higher to show over the bushes

[orchid sorrel]

plastic signs? sounds like a bad idea

it's probably painted aluminum or something

[charred skiff]

idk, but in real life they were like that

[charred skiff]

yeaahh

it is

i was scared of coming near them and touching but i think they are made of aluminium

not plastic

made it darker

[orchid sorrel]

I'd use smooth shadows

but paint.net would be better for that

[charred skiff]

smooth shadows?

how to make that?

[orchid sorrel]

you... smoothen,,, the shadows

blur the edges

[charred skiff]

i know, but how?

[orchid sorrel]

(of the shadows)

[charred skiff]

wait a sec

[orchid sorrel]

you don't have to ping every single of my messages

[charred skiff]

bruh

[charred skiff]

oh sorry

[orchid sorrel]

that's far too much

[charred skiff]

it is the minimum in aseprite

[orchid sorrel]

also, please use a single color background, this is eye straining

that's why I told you to use paint net for texturing

[crimson basin]

make new layer, fill

[charred skiff]

yeah okay

[crimson basin]

tiny lol

[charred skiff]

i think is is okay

[charred skiff]

XD

[orchid sorrel]

red 😭

[charred skiff]

XD

i am evil

😈

this is also looking good

[orchid sorrel]

8 pixels

[unique kindle]

How to add Theotown building template to pixel art apps (i.e. Pixel Studio, Pixly, Novix)? I've downloaded the 2x2 template but I cannot find the icon that adds the template into Pixel Studio (the pixel art app I am using to make plugins) so can you guys please help me?

[golden hare]

In the option "open"

[unique kindle]

In Pixel Studio?

Where is the "open" option

[cerulean cove]

Another time square building hmmm

Commission again?

[cerulean cove]

And nicely done 👍 seems a great plugin

[unique kindle]

?

[versed pike]

Finally a postmodern skyscraper 😁

[golden hare]

huh?

[golden hare]

thanks

It is inspired by "Morgan Stanley" build

[golden hare]

oh, sorry, I mean Pixly

[cerulean cove]

Ohh I just mean there is a renovation of a time square building from another creator recently, and Morgan Stanley building is also at the side of time square xd

[cerulean cove]

Will it be released? Xd I love it

[golden hare]

oh, I understand xd, of course, I'll publish it soon!

[cerulean cove]

Noiiiiiiiice, thank you! you are star! 👍

[uncut acorn]

What’s with this “commission”?

[cerulean cove]

What’s with it?

[eager oriole]

Nice

[weak kestrel]

Cute why you didn't uploaded it ?

[weak kestrel]

Comission meaning iirc making plugin by taking money

[neat jacinth]

First time animating smth

[eager oriole]

Great ❤️

[eager oriole]

going nice

Another building with his variants

[neat jacinth]

Thanks!

[cerulean cove]

The texture is so noice

[weak kestrel]

Make without flag 👍🏻

[hardy anvil]

Wip
For commission

[charred skiff]

what is that?

[hardy anvil]

Let's see later

[charred skiff]

okay

[charred skiff]

btw, why you use colorful colors?

[hardy anvil]

That's called a sketc
It is very important to look at the structure of the building
Before it is fully drawn

[charred skiff]

i know, but like why you use green for the upper thing and red with blue and yellow for the other thing?

[hardy anvil]

Color has no effect at all
Just as a marker

[charred skiff]

oh okay

[magic pike]

No, as in the original it will be with the flag.

[vale oracle]

Online server?

[lavish sail]

Discord server

[neat lake]

Most plugins maker do that too its really helping

[weak kestrel]

I mean another varient without flag also so we can use anywhere

[charred skiff]

okay

[cerulean cove]

This is actually quite good? It’s like professional drawing lol

(I know I’m digging the channel, I’m trying to find when did the commission start to happen xd

[charred skiff]

i draw pixel art if you didnt know 💀

[charred skiff]

XD

[charred skiff]

i am somewhat professional in it

[cerulean cove]

I didn’t xd, but I can recognize drawing to certain extend xd

[cerulean cove]

Noice, the drawing is really great, and also I’m guessing some architecture background?

But I guess prob every creator here has certain art background xd

[charred skiff]

thanks). No XD i don't have architecture backgorund

[cerulean cove]

Ahh Isee xd

[charred skiff]

xd

my pfp is also made by me

[cerulean cove]

Wow, that’s impressive xd

[charred skiff]

yeah))

[cerulean cove]

It’s indeed a cute one lol, but I don’t know it’s pixel (don’t know much about it as well, only played pixel game

[charred skiff]

thx))

discrod just blurs the content of pfp, but is made in pixel art style

[cerulean cove]

Isee, that very cool xd

[charred skiff]

this is the original (without blur)

[charred skiff]

😊

the artwork that i never finished💀

[cerulean cove]

lol

Have a q, why pixel art instead of non-pixel?

[charred skiff]

idk, i was interested in pixel art like from 7 years old

but i drew on paper that time

btw lets talk somewehre else cause it is the plugin disscusion💀

[cerulean cove]

True lol

[terse ledge]

Miami hotel

[cerulean cove]

I’m already imagine there is a pointy tall tower at the center, with a cross on top lol

[vale oracle]

Can you send me invite in dm?

[lavish sail]

i not a member, sry(

[vale oracle]

Np

[weak kestrel]

What's that, any entrence of church or palace ??

[magic pike]

And why does this small flag prevent you from using the building?

[frigid tusk]

Without being political, having no flag is better because you can assimilate the building to any country
If you have for exemple a french flag on a building, it's automatically a french building in your city but if you have no flag on a french building, it can be a building from a fictional country

[lavish sail]

Imagine building British city and theres Ukraine flag in middle of nowhere
You can just make two variants, why not

[hollow raptor]

Hello everybody! Please, rate my first frame.

[hollow raptor]

This is one building in 2 forms.

[neat jacinth]

Are there any billboard plugins

I found some

[orchid sorrel]

other than the roof being geometrically incorrect it looks alright

[neat jacinth]

U chuld make a c
"Corner" one thats tilted like 45° yk?

So u chuod connect em

[hollow raptor]

Thanks for pointing out the errors. Thank you so much!

[neat jacinth]

Oh I thought it was supost to be like that

[eternal sail]

Goooood

Done

Being sick and dizzy isn't going to stop me from making plugins >:]

[crimson basin]

shadows?

[charred skiff]

so far so good

[crimson basin]

bit big

[charred skiff]

yeah i resized it a bit

[crimson basin]

yeahhhh but its still too tall

[charred skiff]

it has to be tall

it will be taller

[crimson basin]

what are you making

[charred skiff]

church

changed the shape

[crimson basin]

can you please stop with the reply pings

[crimson basin]

how about a reference picture

[charred skiff]

sorry

[hardy anvil]

Wip
For commission

[charred skiff]

daaaamn

looks awesome

[crimson basin]

hmm, okay, although you need to work on your contrast and pick a more yellowish colour

[charred skiff]

i know the grey color that i chose is just for me to know where walls are

coloring will be after shaping

[charred skiff]

oh sorry i again pinged you

((

[crimson basin]

randomly found this, i forgot it even existed

[hardy anvil]

Is that a flower?

[crimson basin]

yes

it has a reference but no idea where

i was finding something else

[charred skiff]

how to do this kind of curved shape?

[orchid sorrel]

you might want to draw a full circle on the ground and work your way up from there

[charred skiff]

oh okay, thanks for help

[orchid sorrel]

just so you know, you don't have to use the reply function every single time if the message is directly above

[charred skiff]

ok

i couldn't make it circlish 😕

[orchid sorrel]

yeah I see 0 circles here

[charred skiff]

yeah

i couldnt make the circle look isometric

[charred skiff]

can you help with it please?

[orchid sorrel]

you inscibe a circle with 1:2 h:w ratio inside a square

isometric square, of course

[charred skiff]

how to make it 1:2 ratio?

[orchid sorrel]

...by drawing it that way?

how am I supposed to dumb it down even further

[charred skiff]

idk

i cant draw circle

[orchid sorrel]

the circle tool???

[charred skiff]

bruh

[orchid sorrel]

that doesn't exactly look 1:2 to me

[charred skiff]

how to make it 1:2 with circle tool?

[orchid sorrel]

also doing it without underlying square base ain't gonna make it easier

[orchid sorrel]

you're using aseprite, it literally displays the ratio for almost every applicable operation

[charred skiff]

it is the down layer

[orchid sorrel]

it doesn't have to be exactly that ratio, but it's best if it's as close as possible

[orchid sorrel]

how is that relevant?

looks like a good enough guide for a 5 second google

[charred skiff]

so i can just remove it i a matter of second

[orchid sorrel]

ok?

[charred skiff]

i already did it

[orchid sorrel]

everything you do here is supposed to be done on a separate layer

[orchid sorrel]

it doesn't seem like it lmao

[charred skiff]

really? didnt know

[charred skiff]

i really did(
it is also in the pins

but it didn't help me

[orchid sorrel]

not much I can do about that

[charred skiff]

oki

(

[charred skiff]

is this circle looking good?

[hardy anvil]

[charred skiff]

any ideas on shadowing?

[crimson basin]

should i even ask about the inconsistant wall height

[rain gate]

They'll figure it out eventually

[hardy anvil]

Good
Actually you don't need to make details on the inside.

[charred skiff]

thanks), i know o just made them cause everything is one color then and i dont knwo what is waht

changed

btw should this window thing be straight or isometric?

[hardy anvil]

I think something is wrong

[charred skiff]

yeah

but i dont know what

[charred skiff]

what is this?

[crimson basin]

window

black line, dark outline

[hardy anvil]

You should align it with the line below.

[charred skiff]

done

[hardy anvil]

Why does it have corners?

[charred skiff]

wdym?

[hardy anvil]

Why would you make a curve at the bottom if the top is square?

[charred skiff]

the rounded shape

[crimson basin]

its more like a diagonal wall

[hardy anvil]

What is the name of this building?

I want to search it on google

[charred skiff]

btw, i ended up using not this curve

[charred skiff]

Kish Albanian Temple

[hardy anvil]

Church

[charred skiff]

looks like modern church

nice

👍

[charred skiff]

did you find it on google?

[crimson basin]

[charred skiff]

[hardy anvil]

I hope one day ill become trusted plugin creator and finally get privileged key, so i can make really cool stuff

[eager oriole]

Yeah sketchs are usefull when making buildings

[red lintel]

Congrats on 100k!!🥳

[eager bolt]

Hello

[uncut acorn]

I like how Times Square building looks better compared to others

[cerulean cove]

Wow that’s a lot of download already

[cerulean cove]

This one is actually pretty good, the left one is exactly like the south screen tower

Diff one from Jefferi is making*

the right one prob is intend as the north tower, and how well it resemble I need to check again

[glacial galleon]

🙏🏻🙏🏻

[echo lotus]

church

wow the reaction was fast

[weak kestrel]

Cool 😎 Malaysian church or fictional

[echo lotus]

inspired by st anthony church in kuala lumpur

[weak kestrel]

Will you try mosques in Malaysia 😁

[echo lotus]

sure can!

[plush gull]

WOW,i want donwload this plugin

[lavish sail]

Seems a bit unclear

[lavish sail]

a bit wider than it could be

[charred skiff]

how to fix it?

[hardy anvil]

Why is the shadow reversed?

[lavish sail]

Do all the roof like that

[charred skiff]

?

[charred skiff]

i fixed it

[lavish sail]

Better i think

[charred skiff]

yeah

hmm

how to do this indent here with a small roof?

[lavish sail]

Same as big, but smaller

#plugin-discussion message

[charred skiff]

?

[orchid sorrel]

that looks terribly oversized for your reference

once again

[charred skiff]

what?

[orchid sorrel]

your scale is off

[charred skiff]

of the roof?

[orchid sorrel]

of everything

[charred skiff]

bruh

[orchid sorrel]

also your geometry isn't geometrying here

I have no idea what shape is that building supposed to be

[charred skiff]

you can look at te reference and see what shape it has to be

[orchid sorrel]

yeah your roofs are off

and extremely humongous

[charred skiff]

how can i fix them?

[orchid sorrel]

by using proper scale

[boreal charm]

Looks like from brookhaven lol

[boreal charm]

I recently made houses from Taman Tun Dr. Ismail, Kuala Lumpur It still lacked alot of things lol

[boreal charm]

Scale that down to 2x2 tile

[boreal charm]

For those wondering whats missing, here

[charred skiff]

if i will do that i should change everything💀

[weak kestrel]

Just need more details and contrast

[orchid sorrel]

yeah that's ridiculously enormous

[charred skiff]

looks perfect

[charred skiff]

💀

it is also big in real life

i was there

it was big too

can i add grain effect in paint.net?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[orchid sorrel]

I'm pretty sure it's not skyscraper level tall lol

[charred skiff]

it isnt

[charred skiff]

ok

is paint.net free?

[orchid sorrel]

yes

[urban grove]

Feels like this is oversized unless it's really big and tall in real life.

[hardy anvil]

It's big in rl but this is too big for theotown scale

[orchid sorrel]

it's horribly oversized, look at the rooftiles in the reference image

[charred skiff]

but kinda looks cool

[orchid sorrel]

if you're inclined

[hardy anvil]

I don't think it's too high
And the door is a few centimeters taller than human size.

[orchid sorrel]

exactly

and a human is 3 pixels tall

[hardy anvil]

1,8 Meter
I always use that benchmark

[charred skiff]

?

[weak kestrel]

Albanian castle?

[charred skiff]

yeah

Albanian church

[weak kestrel]

👍🏻

[orchid sorrel]

noise isn't supposed to add more hues

don't use colorful noise

[charred skiff]

oh okay

i am going to my IT courses

bye guys

i will do it after

[boreal charm]

yes

[boreal charm]

hmmmmmm good idea. tho idk how to do decorations that spawns differently for every spawns

[weak kestrel]

What spawn ??

[boreal charm]

hmmmm how should i say this 🤔

like for example different buildings have different decorations

but they are still with the same id

[weak kestrel]

Aah u can ask to kulche or bunny

[frigid tusk]

Upgrades?

[lavish sail]

Buildings have "random frame" parameter

So they can have multiple frames which chooses randomly

[weak kestrel]

Yeah ig he wants to say that

[boreal charm]

I just finished doing a Proton Car Dealership

[lavish sail]

And unable to build manually

[boreal charm]

Oooo how do they do that (with animations ofc)

[lavish sail]

Wdym with animations?

[boreal charm]

Hmmm

[lavish sail]

Night animations?

[boreal charm]

I used animations in my buildings to allow color variations without making it ugly

[lavish sail]

Im not sure you can put different animation for each frame
