Re: New building and possible units

I tried something on the snow covered houses. My first attempt was a little too blue but I added it for comparison.

What do you think of it so far? Know that I have never done anything like this before.
Looks cool :)

Re: New building and possible units

I'm wondering what Santa looks like in Australia? Does he wear shorts and sunglasses? :P

Haha, a Santa-wetsuit!

Interesting! Please make an image of how it would look ingame, e.g. pasting the image on a snowy background (if the snow looks too much like KaM snow you might not see the roof :P).
Btw I love the ice hanging down above the entrance. :D

Re: New building and possible units

You should match the style of the game (snow), pay attention to how it is drawen there, also I would suggest to seperate secrtions of snow between each tile of the roof to give it the feeling that there is a roof and give the feel of the shape of the roof.
Like The Dark Lord said, it shouldn't match the snow too well, as you might not see the roof. I should put this storehouse ingame to see if it fits or not.
I could give sepperating the roof tiles a try :)
Looks cool
Thanks :)

I was trying to put this storehouse ingame, but I had no idea on how to do this :P

Re: New building and possible units

You don't have to exchange files or something to see how it would look; since it is a transparent image you could take a screenshot of a snowy area and simply paste the storehouse on it. It won't be as good as possible but probably good enough to see if it fits.

Looks nice: )
What do you think of removing part of the snow from roof to let see part of original tiles?

Yes, I was thinking of that too, like that a part of the roof had already melted away/was too steep to have a lot of snow on it.
I think it's a good idea because it won't all look too snowy, and a little color of the roofs will make it better.

I managed to place the storehouse on a KaM picture, I think it doesn't fit very well :P I'll have to match the colors and texture a little bit more

Re: New building and possible units

The roof blends in with terrain too much IMO, leaving part of it uncovered will surely look better. By the way, Warcraft2 had some snowy roof I remember.

Re: New building and possible units

Yes, it's a bit too much. But I'm impressed, I'm sure it will work out okay. :)

Re: New building and possible units

No I think it should be a little scattered, like the cameoflage colours on soldiers' outfits.

Is possible :P
But what Krom said is actually true, snow won't normally stay put on such steep rooftops.
There must be a way to let it look naturally and make it fit within KaM.

Scattered all over the roofs? or colors?
something like this? I just added some more snow to the tower roofsImage
