Vienna Pack Buildings

Should i add a third?

Btw these buildings are from Vienna

Found em on google earth

[uneven plover]

Looks really nice

maybe a little more shadows (a little bit) and they can have those nice European streets

[open sphinx]

yep, i will do that👍

I think i will release the 2nd one and make later a vienna pack. Im not really satisfied with the new one. Im going to change smth on it

[waxen surge]

you exactly drew the apartment my relatives rent in

[open sphinx]

😳

[uneven plover]

I know where you live

[open sphinx]

who do you mean?

🤨

[midnight obsidian]

Doxxed

[tidal glen]

for a plugin rooki .
what can I start to make?

like something ez for the start

[uneven plover]

2 or 3 template sizes building. Focus more on the shape. Dont mind the noise

[glad lynx]

almost complete?🧐 🙃

[uneven plover]

my man used blender 😡

looks cool tho

[glad lynx]

I am sorry🥲

[uneven plover]

lol

I am kidding

[crimson laurel]

It looks nice, but aren't the building's floors a bit oversized?

[glad lynx]

I can fix that easily

and I agree

[rain gate]

vegan nina towers

[crimson laurel]

Alrighty. Looking forward to it

[unique pivot]

Oh thanks for reminding me that I wanted to screenshot and pixelate the building I made in blender

[uneven plover]

Use the technic to make factory buildings for ci

I kicked you

[unique pivot]

You assumed I can model factories in 3D?

[uneven plover]

I dont know how it works

Does it get the depth right?

danek was doing something like that tho for one of his ukraine building with weird shape

[quiet elk]

Add people looking out?

[rain gate]

Looks stunning

would fit nicely in South Cairo

[open sphinx]

Its actually a soviet building from Macedonia

But yes

It also fits in Cairo

[rain gate]

I see, interesting

[glad lynx]

bruh

[quiet elk]

What

[glad lynx]

what do you mean, they are 360*😂

[open sphinx]

Should i add more Noise? Idk it looks so plain

[uneven plover]

Yep

[open sphinx]

Ok

[uneven plover]

Add reasonable noise like

[open sphinx]

Abonded walls

[uneven plover]

It is damaged at some points

[open sphinx]

Is a good idea

[uneven plover]

Yep

[open sphinx]

Yep

Hahaha

[uneven plover]

bruh

lol

[quiet elk]

Huhh

[open sphinx]

Enough?😂

[fast cave]

Abandoned building?

[uneven plover]

It looks too old now

Nice details tho

[fast cave]

What it is supposed to be excatly?

[uneven plover]

Perfect building for poor

poor inhabitants apartment

[fast cave]

Ah

Looks like a building in a zombies game

The details are cool, but it think its a little bit too much

[open sphinx]

Well its soviet😁

[fast cave]

Also, I think you missed a little of paint here

[open sphinx]

should be so haha, should look bit Abonded

Idk, should i release it?

[uneven plover]

Yeah

[fast cave]

Ah, then its great, just that part of the building looks little bit odd for me

[uneven plover]

Level 1

[open sphinx]

Yep

👍 Ok

[uneven plover]

It looks like those apartments in my city

[open sphinx]

Hahaha

[fast cave]

Lmao

[uneven plover]

The ones near factories

bruh I dont live in one of those tho

[open sphinx]

Poor citizens

😂

[uneven plover]

I think yeah you should kinda fix this, make it straight it looks like bomb exploded there lol

[fast cave]

It remind me to buildings that are in the mountains or old buildings in the city

[open sphinx]

OK Hahaha

[uneven plover]

I will try to find a photo

nvm I got no wifi

[fast cave]

I can recommend you to make a white layer behind all the building, then, before export it, delete that layer so its stays transparent and you get to see all the little pixels while drawing

Or, if pixly support masks, then make a mask around all the building before painting

[uneven plover]

Those

[fast cave]

That's what I did with mine

[uneven plover]

but here apartments are more likely Mediterranean type of things

with striped curtains at balconies

[midnight obsidian]

[insert political joke]

[uneven plover]

-.-

[open sphinx]

Those look like a turkish poor suburb buildings

[uneven plover]

yep

[open sphinx]

?

[fast cave]

For me looks like generic poor buildings, "generic" in the way that I cant associate it to any country specifically

[uneven plover]

yep

it can even be european

[fast cave]

Lmao yeah

[uneven plover]

just generic coastal old apartment

but that type of balconies always give me ocean city vibes

[midnight obsidian]

[political joke about current world events]

[chilly mango]

1984

[fast cave]

Emmm.. I think I know what its causing the "too much" noise issues in my building

[midnight obsidian]

Nooo

[chilly mango]

dont think those thoughts

[midnight obsidian]

This is censorship

In all seriousness though ill stop

[fast cave]

You see, there is a while layer behind all the colours for avoid transparency problems with the brush texture I was using (Watercolours)

[open sphinx]

@uneven plover i literally changed the image just for u

And u were right

[fast cave]

But I think it might be interfering with the contrast

[open sphinx]

It look better without grey filter

[uneven plover]

Looks soo much better 👍

[open sphinx]

Yep

[fast cave]

Yeah

[uneven plover]

sussy balls tho, how are you soo good at iso pixel art at start

[fast cave]

I think colouring that white layer made the noise a little bit more understandable

Basically

[uneven plover]

I think you should make it white and add tons of brand boards on it

[fast cave]

Lmao

[uneven plover]

a big glass showroom at the bottom

floor

What it is supposed to be tho

[fast cave]

A building, I don't really have any idea to do with it it just came to my mind

At least I can flex that I have a fancy new building for my experiments

I dont really plan to put it in the plugin store

[uneven plover]

Ok soo here is idea, make all bottom floor glass showroom, make green roof (anhkatori moment), turn it to white and add whale tons of brand boards on it

[fast cave]

Lmao, maybe I can make another building in the fly

[open sphinx]

it will be in store tomorrow 🥳

[open sphinx]

Yo the glass looks so cool

but why does it remind me of copper

[fast cave]

Thanks (But tbh Im more worried about it not having enough details to make it obvious that are 2 floors instead of one)

[fast cave]

Emm...

I guess is the line art, its not completed yet

[open sphinx]

Ah ok, looks interesting

[fast cave]

I realised yesterday that it was really noticeable

Here it is with the shadows enabled and yeah, the line art its incorrect

Cant complain, its literally 2 colours combined and somehow it its normal

[uneven plover]

blood

my man painting with his blood and tears

[fast cave]

:xd:

[uneven plover]

🅰️

[fast cave]

It really adds to the depth but its not perfect, here it is without those 2 layers enabled

[zinc dawn]

[fast cave]

Alright, I think this should be fine

The red parts are where the detailed glass will go

[glad lynx]

What are you working on?

[fast cave]

And this is with some fancy ceiling decoration

[fast cave]

Just some random building that yusuf suggested to me

Its just the sketch for now

I have to mark where to put details and where windows go

[glad lynx]

clear

[fast cave]

Going back to my other building, I think this should be fine for the line art, now I can start with the roofs

[grim heath]

The top roof, if it is unaccessible would be best maybe as a gravel roof, otherwise concrete slabs. The middle roof seems accessable so maybe concrete slabs with a railing. Lowest roof probably just concrete slabs seeing as how low down it is.

[light adder]

Who got some food construction plug in like decoration drop some zip files

[gilded current]

food?

[fast cave]

I was actually making all gravel lol
But its totally logic to make the 2 lower floors with some kind of pattering like concrete slabs or something, yeah, thanks
I guess the I will make the top also from concrete slabs but I dont know yet

:xd:
At least I fixed a mistake with the shadows that weren't noticeable

[rich birch]

Vanilla 😳

[marsh robin]

is that

ultimate

wow

I'm now oki

[light adder]

Commercial or residential

[fast cave]

Idk, commercial maybe?

Alright, I think I almost finish this, I have to make the 2nd floor for the glass part of the building and the surrounding to the building (And if I have time, this maybe my first attempt to make night animations, idk)

[white snow]

Lookin good

[fast cave]

Now this is why you always have to name your folders, I have absolutely no idea for what these folders are with an exception to the ones that have masks, I even got masks folders inside of other masks lmao

Almost all of them say "Folder [Insert number here]"

Zamn, I forgot to enable the shadows that make it look even better (And I added a little bit of detail to the upper roof borders)

[fast cave]

Thanks

[marsh robin]

great masterpiece

[fast cave]

Thanks

[waxen surge]

@low loom

aos plugin bug

[waxen surge]

how do i fix this

[rich birch]

for aos plugin problem go to TPC server

[waxen surge]

i need server link

but anyway

aos plugin made me so happy

i can finally build a city after 3 months without doing anything

[rain gate]

Desaturated the glass roof, is this enough?

[urban grove]

I think is good enough

[rain gate]

I have redraw the curve for like 5 times already

[crimson panther]

amazing

[fast cave]

Epic

Now I have to figure out how to make night animations

[low loom]

Turn off at settings

[fast cave]

Especially for the glass part

[charred relic]

It needs more decos around the building

I think

[fast cave]

Yeah, I wanted to add more but I am really tired rn, I just want to get started with the night animations, I think tomorrow I will do all the details I wanted in the outside of the building

Its like 11:50PM here :trl:

[charred relic]

Ok)

[fast cave]

Im trying to figure out how to get my building in the ian's night animation editor lmao

The information button doesnt work :sad:

[charred relic]

Night animation editor?

[fast cave]

Yeah, a plugin made by ian

Is in the plugin store

Finally, I got my building, I had to use the building's id

[charred relic]

Interesting

[fast cave]

Zamn I have to provide my own animation since the windows shape in the building are not common

Welp

Back to clip studio paint I guess

[rain gate]

The shadows really match theo's style

[fast cave]

Thanks

Eh... yeah Im not really happy about this but I guess these should be fine for start with the night animations

Now time to figure out what to do with this mess

Damn I forgot the glass

Alright, I think this time it should be fine

This file has so many layers that my PC is starting to lag every time I want to combine a bunch of them lmao

Emmm.. I think the glass shouldn't be in the texture, the original building already have glass so adding more will just make things more difficult

[rain gate]

Shid ton of layers

[fast cave]

Just wait until you see the amount of .json files that Im using

:trl:

Wait hold on

I also just changed the name to the main .json lmao

Alright, Idk if this will work, but I will see I guess

:xd:

Bruh, I already defined the json's ID in the main .json, what is happening?

Uhhh... Im pretty sure the fix is simple but my brain is dumb enough to not see it

This is what's inside those .json I made for the night animations, also, Im pretty sure there is a way to bundle them all into one big .json but idk how

Its the same content for all of them expect for the last 2 digits for the id and the last digit for the "bmp"
(Also, I just fixed my typo mistake in the files name, now they are properly called "sprite[Insert number here]")

I really dont know what's happening, I was following the "custom animations" tutorial from the TT forum just fine and then this 😔

its amazing for a few days u made quite a good remark on the community

The problem with shadows is that unfortunately I can never go over the edge of the 3×3 template

@rain gate

[white snow]

its fine

i do it most of the time

u have 2 options for this

fading and solid cut

i hope u understand it cus I dont have time to post

[open sphinx]

I have found a solution

I've removed this thing

And used it for shadow

Woah nice buildings 👍

[uneven plover]

use color code to save tx space

[open sphinx]

Thanks

[uneven plover]

its time to level up saintkyrill

use color code now

😠

[open sphinx]

Next time also with Night Anim😎

[open sphinx]

Color code?

Whots that lmao

[uneven plover]

Like

[open sphinx]

I know what a color code is

But

Wdym

[uneven plover]

You can make that colored piece an animation and use color code on it in the json

[open sphinx]

And whots tx space😀

[hollow cairn]

texture space

[open sphinx]

Aaaa

K

[uneven plover]

it will save texture space and you will be able to make more color variations

[open sphinx]

Dude im scared of learning new things

[hollow cairn]

nah you don't have to force yourself

just stick with the techniques that you're using right now

[open sphinx]

No no, i will try. You can only learn something if you want to learn it.

And i want to learn

So

Lezz go

[uneven plover]

you should improve imo try everything you are capable of

[hollow cairn]

e🅱️ic

[open sphinx]

@uneven plover there should be a Tut. In ze forum or am i wrong

[uneven plover]

also you should make your building packs bigger like atleast 10 buildings in a pack or something like RF but do that when you feel like it. You just started uploading plugins soo 1 building 30 diamonds, you deserve this

[uneven plover]

no

lol

[open sphinx]

Ok then i will try it myself

[uneven plover]

But you can look at json_harbor in the forum it has json codes of the harbour crabe which uses color code

It is in the plugin documentation and resources

[open sphinx]

Dude im scared to touch the Keyboard and starting to code by myself

But yes

Thanks

[uneven plover]

no problem sir

[rain gate]

Texture space is a canvas ranging from 1024x1024 pixels to 4096x4096 canvases that contains the world textures, presumably this

[open sphinx]

Aaaa

I see

[rain gate]

(premium textures in that image is impossible to crop to get because its pixelated)

I was paying attention to the big spider on the wall, sorry for saying impossible 2 times

[fast cave]

The game can create many textures for more content, as long as the VRAM of the device is enough

If the game rans out of texture space, you will get a game crash at startup

[proven yoke]

Next japan building

[white snow]

well... it seems like we magnetize sum Japanese here. well done everyone

[jolly goblet]

[white snow]

do you enjoy our creations mate?

[subtle igloo]

Anybody have the frames of the military vehicles and TV Van?

[orchid sorrel]

military is premium content and the tv van is available along all the other cars in the world texture

[subtle igloo]

Oh okay, so the military vehicles are private?

[orchid sorrel]

they are not available to the public

but maybe if you ask justanyone cutely enough you might get them

keep that in mind that some of them I haven't touch in a long time so they haven't fixed, edited, or compressed

[rain gate]

Alrighty

[jolly goblet]

here how its going :)
(im gonna add the details in the windows later)

[rain gate]

Isometry is all wrong

Those windows are gigantic

Take a baseplate first

[urban grove]

The perspective is wrong it's look like the building is actually 2D

Unless your making it diagonal

[jolly goblet]

his position won't be like this but it's just to show that it fits in the game

and about the windows i think they are the right size if a person is 3 pixels

[marsh robin]

A

Diagonal!

[fast cave]

Ahhh, then in that case its fine, if you want to make the building that big you might need a 4x4 baseplate

[rich birch]

Is making plugins and putting them into games called applied art?

[zinc dawn]

Occupied tips to make a good plugin

[pallid finch]

Cool design...👍
What, are you Japanese by any chance?😳

[blissful apex]

Do someone knows the name of the plugin?

[fast cave]

Alright, now I can start with painting

[white snow]

It looks like it is made from other train plugins to make that.

[fast cave]

Yeah

Mismatching roof texture, unusual building size, and the tower in the center looks like isn't connected to the rest of the roof

Really great design to whoever made what, but I don't think is only one plugin

[white snow]

at the top of my head rn is themax train plugin. it has an modifiable old station there

the white and blue thing is from rock fort

I dunno man there are many Japanese plugins

[pallid finch]

I am glad that many Japanese plugins are created and used by people overseas.😊

I haven't produced any plugins at all recently. It's time to get back on track.

[uneven plover]

Everyone should try making plugins even tho it looks like bad or something with time it will improve anyways hopefully. We need a more spiced up community for quality plugin making.

In my opinion, currently it is kinda no fun in the plugin makers

where pdn 😠

[echo prairie]

Hahhahaha ppurge funny now laugh hahahhahahaj

[midnight obsidian]

That's why i miss designer anthony

[uneven plover]

he was bad and he thought he was good. That was his problem

[pallid finch]

this part handwritten? Or is it a photo pasted on?😳

[fierce haven]

I draw it myself if possible, but this is a pasted picture

[pallid finch]

I see. Thanks for letting me know!

[rich birch]

What's that?? Wow marko you're really great you even you hold many projects (including firefighter)

[rain gate]

noo

it gogle image

I accidentally sent that

[rich birch]

help, the theo of town doesnt of the work

[chilly mango]

Clearly, you need to install 64 bit java

[hollow cairn]

that would help

For me is really fun to make some buildings
I think the issue comes when a beginner starts making basic plugins with the sole propose of making diamonds and stuff without really improving

[rich birch]

be careful marco.. you can be banned if you are warned continuously
*I'm seriously

[fast cave]

I think it's like 10-15 warns until you get a ban, but I could be wrong and I guess it depends of how bad the infraction is

[hollow cairn]

nnkkoooo do be doin' the plugin grind

[rich birch]

Nice... N NICEE!!

Highly recommended

[fast cave]

Now that's is a big pack of buildings

[hollow cairn]

indeed

[uneven plover]

true

there is a true balance in criticism style and improving from advises which often isn't balanced here imo

[rich birch]

Guys show your achievements

[chilly mango]

[uneven plover]

only have 520k downloads

[rich birch]

did you remove some of your plugins??

[uneven plover]

prolly was higher but I removed some old plugins even tho it wouldn't rise it up much

[fast cave]

True, I just make plugins for fun and when I have time, I don't plan to post them in the plugin store
Maybe, and only maybe I will consider posting them in the forum for free, but even that is very unlikely to happen

[rich birch]

I think pipe and off-roads plugin is good...

[uneven plover]

lol accidentally put ufo reaction to my own message 💀

[fast cave]

I have the PC version of the game, so no need of diamonds

[uneven plover]

I do be text walkin'

[uneven plover]

same here

[fast cave]

Ah

[uneven plover]

I don't even often play the game anymore

[fast cave]

I didn't had enough time for play it, just recently for testing my plugins

And uh... RL stole from me most of my time

[rain gate]

I think the curve is perfect

[fast cave]

Yes the curve it's fine

But you missed like 2 pixels there

[white snow]

i have claimed a couple of diamonds

Perfect

Finally the curve is finished

soo much light for a residential

It looks strange tbh, I would prefer more reasonable lighted rooms for residential

[open sphinx]

Can pls someone send the code for the json including NightAnim.

[uneven plover]

my dude, check in game codes

I would help you but not home

[open sphinx]

Uhm OK

😘

😳

[rain gate]

Beautiful

The curve

Finally

Hell yes

Dude

Thats

Thats big

[uneven plover]

Nice

marco do be improving

[rain gate]

Ground shadoes later

Details later

Props later

I finish the model first then to the macaroni details

[golden escarp]

windows 10 or 11?

[unique pivot]

We do a little tomfoolery

[orchid sorrel]

theotown 3d 😳

[unique pivot]

I think I got the angles wrong

but it looks better than I expected (5x5 plate)

[waxen surge]

what

[orchid sorrel]

seems squished

[unique pivot]

it's not

wait

I can literally have raytraced reflections here

eheheha

😎

[waxen surge]

this almost caused me to faint

no way im seeing this

a realistic shaded building

[unique pivot]

I made a cool 3d model and discovered orthographic camera setting

so I didn't draw it

but I spent my weekends modelling that

so it's still fair

but I need to figure out the angle

[waxen surge]

alright but

its so good

[unique pivot]

I hope it will get approved

[waxen surge]

that aint theotown anymore

[unique pivot]

and I can have all 4 rotation frames

[unique pivot]

okay I'm stupid, that's bigger than 5x5 plane

so it's 7x7 with the correct scale

💀

well everyone likes big buildings right?

[waxen surge]

that causes rrrors

[unique pivot]

Yeah that's the point

[waxen surge]

also make sure

its moduleable instead

[uneven plover]

dam

[unique pivot]

isn't 8x8 better in this case?

[uneven plover]

1984?

[unique pivot]

imma check how much empty space will be there

[unique pivot]

nah

it's my own fictional country's government building 😎

thetow when I post my 8x8 rotation frames compressed raytraced building render

[midnight obsidian]

it's puglin you nboo

[waxen surge]

big tile plugins causes lag

or chance of crashing

[unique pivot]

this means I can't do joe mama plugin :(

[midnight obsidian]

my god

it would take up too much puglin space

[waxen surge]

does forum plugins take up plugin space

[rain gate]

TheoTown

[midnight obsidian]

194 plugin

[unique pivot]

I should make a park in front of it as an excuse for not cutting it in parts

[waxen surge]

youre about to earn endless gems

[unique pivot]

wait. this means that I need to draw a park

[waxen surge]

the shading and reflection effect gives attention

[unique pivot]

btw

[midnight obsidian]

simon

[waxen surge]

another 3d modelling qork

[midnight obsidian]

cut it up into parts

[unique pivot]

a tip for all plugin creators: shadows should be slightly blue

[midnight obsidian]

and then have people complain about the plugin not having rotation aware

[unique pivot]

I mean

a huge raytraced rotation aware building

[waxen surge]

tip for plugin creators (dont color windows so blue 😂 😭

[unique pivot]

that wastes plugin space

sounds like a hit

[unique pivot]

hm I can actually post it as tip

I forgor how to put skybox in blender :(

[rain gate]

ded

[unique pivot]

I rember

[white snow]

This looks like the MOST LAZIEST building makin I've ever seen but it works anyways also clean it up with manual finishin touches

Im seein some inconsistents

[midnight obsidian]

nice argument, senator, but why don't you back it up with a source?

[white snow]

Just up

It's up there

👆

[rain gate]

Ppurg 999999

[midnight obsidian]

i forgor to add the reply thing but then i noticed that it worked like that

[midnight obsidian]

i originally wanted to respond to this

[white snow]

7

[unique pivot]

MOST LAZIEST
I spent 2 days on the model

it's not like I simply stole it

[fast cave]

It has to be manually accommodated to keep it consistent to other TT buildings
But the shading is correct

[unique pivot]

well it's raytraced so it can't be wrong, and yeah I'll have to clean some stuff up

but rn I am changing some settings to get the best render

[fast cave]

Technically, with the help of 3D one could get realistic reflections, now in practice it could be a huge time consuming process

[white snow]

I spent almost 2 weeks and always sleeping at 12am to build this.

[fast cave]

Since it has to be manually edited

[unique pivot]

ok but it doesn't mean me making the model was "most laziest"

[white snow]

Im not angry btw

Im just sayin about it

[unique pivot]

I'm not either, but I don't really understand your logic

nice btw

[fast cave]

No I don't think it should be called "most laziest" too, but also I wouldn't call it the best option either

Unless you need realistic shading

[white snow]

Idk it looks like you made the model then snap an angle of it then boom. Or maybe i didn't know how blander work

[fast cave]

Also, it could be really useful as reference
It just need a fast way to generate the building since for you it took 2 days

[unique pivot]

made the model
that's the hardest part

[fast cave]

Maybe a little bit of geometry nodes could work

[white snow]

Doesn't it shreds food or something

Damn i didn't know a blender can do this

[fast cave]

It can

[unique pivot]

yeah but the point is that I was making that building for other goals anyway (Didn't need procedural)

but I decided to make it in theotown cuz why not

[fast cave]

Ah

[unique pivot]

but making procedural building generator and render them with realistic lighting doesn't sound like a bad idea

[fast cave]

ye

Now the thing is getting it to work

[unique pivot]

I wonder if is it possible to change seed & render it automatically with a script

[white snow]

This can make

[fast cave]

TT procedural building generator when

[white snow]

This?

[unique pivot]

and it's absolutely possible to make some program that compresses the image & writes simple json

I'll note that

infinite plugin cheat

[fast cave]

Lmao

[white snow]

Ok I'll stop dad jokes now

[fast cave]

It would still need manually editing

Since blender doesnt seems to understand the 2-pixel border rule in TT buildings

[unique pivot]

do you mean this or?

[white snow]

Or trace it I guess

[fast cave]

Plus you can tell that in some areas the resolution was so low that it doesnt know where to draw the pixels

[fast cave]

Yes

[unique pivot]

you can adjust the angle and switch camera to orthographic

[fast cave]

And this where blender doesnt know what to do with the low res

[unique pivot]

ah that

it's compressed in piskel, without smooth scaling

:troll:

[fast cave]

A

[white snow]

Using piskel is way to better at image to pixel bus if u do it with other programs they just add blur onto it

[fast cave]

Im still thinking that it could be really useful as a reference
For example, I really struggle to get night animations right when the light its inside of glass, or when there are so many reflections in a building and the shape is complex

[fast cave]

Tru

[white snow]

I have two billboard plugins i haven't released it yet where I havve to painstakingly adjust every two pixel height in order to make an angle

[fast cave]

I use Clip Studio Paint, and while you can to pixel art in it, its really not designed 100% to that

[unique pivot]

btw imma post original render in #art-n-photography cuz it looks cool af tho

[fast cave]

Ye I saw it without the low res

Wait

You are compressing the image in piskel?

[unique pivot]

yes lol

when importing

[white snow]

Yea

[fast cave]

Blender doesnt have already a resolution thing

[unique pivot]

yes

do you mean render resolution?

[fast cave]

And the pixelate node in the compositor

[fast cave]

Ye

[unique pivot]

it includes this square around the model

[fast cave]

Ah

[unique pivot]

would be just faster to automatically crop in gimp and then give the correct res when importing in piskel

[fast cave]

Emmm...

I think it would be faster to use the pixelate node

[unique pivot]

yeah that sounds stupid

but idk just a few buttons

[fast cave]

Let me check real quick

[unique pivot]

yeah but I need to crop the render and make sure it doesn't pixelize too much

[fast cave]

But you can make the background transparent

[unique pivot]

yeah there is

[fast cave]

No

[unique pivot]

wdym is it the wrong one?

[fast cave]

Its super weird, but as far I know you have to input a different resolution image and then resize it

[unique pivot]

tbh I'll rather figure that out later

[fast cave]

Yeah, let me check to see if it works

[waxen surge]

theotoen isnt going to be theotoen anymore

[fast cave]

Btw, you are using blender 3.1? It updated like yesterday

[unique pivot]

yes it updated

[waxen surge]

realistic theotown is getting real

[fast cave]

Ah, nice

[unique pivot]

should I leave the yellow tint?

(I made the light a bit yellow-ish)

[fast cave]

Emmmm Idk, it looks fine for me

[unique pivot]

problem, piskel?

[fast cave]

Lmao

[waxen surge]

bluish tint

also windows should be bluish

sky ambience

[unique pivot]

there is

maybe that's because it had clouds in it...

[waxen surge]

but i cant still believe the realism upgrade here

youre gonna be a plugin legend sooner

[unique pivot]

maybe (still unsure if will mods approve)

I need to finish 3 buildings in the same style anyway

can port them into TT as well

I have this too but I am not that desperate

lol

[rain gate]

garage.blend

[midnight obsidian]

why would you blend a garageg

[unique pivot]

so umm
should I leave it as it is but add some trees and parked cars +make rotation awareness

or split it in parts (not sure how tbh) (no rotation awareness probably)

[unique pivot]

[fast cave]

One video about compositor nodes later:

I only would need to delete these lines in the borders

But this is basic geomtry, Im gonna try with something else

I tried to disable anti-aliasing, but blender doesnt seems to allow that

[unique pivot]

do you need for it to look like in theotown?

[fast cave]

Best I can get to disable anti-aliasing

tjeptonw cube

[unique pivot]

so the sides are vertical

[fast cave]

If the goal is to use the final render as a plugin then yes

[unique pivot]

isometric*

I just used the default cube with the default camera lmao

[unique pivot]

lol

[unique pivot]

btw what do you think?

[fast cave]

Me when:

[fast cave]

Some tress could work fine

[unique pivot]

a bit off topic tbh

[unique pivot]

okay thanks

[fast cave]

Holy sh"t it works

[midnight obsidian]

now get rid of the mixels

[rain gate]

Why is the plugs discussion become blender discussion

Thats silicon sorcery

[fast cave]

Emmm... tru, I think it would better to move to #general

[chilly mango]

congrats, you use the rendering technique factorio uses to make its textures

[fast cave]

Lmao

[rain gate]

[unique pivot]

yeah btw I remembered about factorio when making my building

[smoky bison]

what is this

blender magic

[rain gate]

Nothing

Looks cool

[unique pivot]

needs some fixing

wait cars are obviously mirrored and not rotated

maybe no one will notice?

[midnight obsidian]

well now that you pointed it out

[waxen surge]

make cars realistic too

[midnight obsidian]

i noticed

[waxen surge]

we need realistic theotown

[rain gate]

Add car shadoe

[midnight obsidian]

where nuclear warhead

[waxen surge]

but but they are under the shatoe

[unique pivot]

I did but they're crappy and bright
