my first room, complete with unrealistic shadows, and lack of detail!

[Skurai]

the title says it allÃ, 

1xÃ,  Ã,  2x


It suposed to be like, a classroom, however my drawing skills mutated it to what you see in front of you lol

[BlackMan890]

you hava half finished the room, don't post it if you KNOW it sucks, add some detail and then post it, else you will get a BIG list

[Chicky]

Balckman i find that kind of ironic coming from you.

Now skurai, try adding more tables, a simple copy and paste would do it. You should try looking around your room/classroom what kind of things do you have? I would suggest adding posters, a world map, a globe, pencil pots and that kind of thing. The potential is there, you just have to forfill it.

[Mr Jake]

I think it needs desks and some posters on the wall, the desk shadow isnt that bad...

And blackman he has made a good attempt on the room and is asking what he can add for more detail, this is obviously NOT a 3 minute work up

EDIT: would it be possible to upload a version with the P point visable? We need it to do paintovers (some people can find it by the lines but I never got the hang of doing this :/ )

[mousemat]

is it just me or does the black board slant a bit.
and maybe add the right wall into the pic.

[Skurai]

thanks for the comments, except for blackman (just kiddingÃ,  ) *maybe he diden't catch on to all the sarcasm, and poking fun at myself.. oh well.*

alright, i tired to strighten out the blackboard, and i _tried_ to add a desk, with poor resultsÃ,  :



and Hotspot, i'd love to upload a copy with the P point visible, but first I have to ask you one very important question.... what exactly is a P point?

Hello Skurai...

Your biggest problems are perspective issues, try following tutorials on perspective. try googling them

I made a picture for you to show you why the perspective lines aren't correct:



I made a little example too.
As you can see, your perspective lines all point to a different spot

In my picture the depth lines all point to the same point, which will make it correct in appearance.

so when making a new room, first draw a square, then decide the vanishing point, then draw all corners to that point and fiddle along that road....
Hope I've been a little helpful, if I said something wrong, please correct me

greets

[Skurai]

thanks for pointing that out N3TGraph, i'll be sure to keep it in mind from now on 

[Darth Mandarb]

N3T is right IF you want perspective ...

When I first saw this I thought (assumed) you were going for an isometric-ish look to the image.Ã,  Where there is no vanishing point and every angle is the same.

If that's the case, you should make all lines go like this:

Ã, Ã,  Ã, [][]
[][]
A 2 to 1 ratio ... if you're line goes up and to the right, it should go up 1 pixel for every 2 pixels to the right.

Does that make sense?

Also a warning, Isometric can be VERY difficult to work with in AGS, it takes a lot of getting used to!

[BlackMan890]

ok ok I'm sorry i just forgot how hard i am to everyone so sorry

now back to the pickture

*add another foot on the chair, and also fix the perspective on the back of the chair

[Skurai]

hm, well, yes, that is the look i was going for, but i just thought i should keep perspective in mind for future rooms.

and blackman890, apology acceptedÃ,  and um, your images aren't showing upÃ, 


EDIT: Seeing as how i'm the master of the universe, i decided to re-invent perspective. so you see NT3Graph, my pic now has more perspective then you can shake a stick at, for example:



see? i dare anyone to try to shake a stick at all that perspective, it just can't be done.

*if you haden't already guessed, everything after "EDIT:" was a jokeÃ,  *

[BlackMan890]

well, will i get an award?


fixed the perspective on everything exept the small table and the blackboard
i made it all go to one pixel 1 x 1 not 2 x 2

[Skurai]

i don't know about an award.. although i can give you a cookie!
