Don't tell me you didn't.

I was thinking of restarting the ISO town thing again.
Cept with bigger buildings than mine. Cause that door is TINY.

Town Hall
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/7402/iso2pu5.png

anyone mind to brief me on WHAT EXACTLY IS AN ISO TOWN?

A town made with isometric buildings. We've done it before.

SO there.

That's a very 60s town hall.

That's a very 60s town hall.
It's also very tall, considering it's twice the size of the doorway. And very narrow, too. I don't know how you expect to fit people in that thing. It's only as wide as three doors!
And the cars would have to be really small too, if they expect to fit in those spaces.

Oh, and there's a line running through the roof too, for some reason.

Also it has a fountain hovering in the air next to it. I'd have thought that was notable.

...so says the man with a hovering sausage for an avatar.

Eh, it was just an example. So, does anyone else want to contribute?
Here's some tutorials.

I find it amusing how the handicapped parking space is the one furthest from the door.

We just aren't giving Shadowman a break, are we? :p

Finally, someone picked that up.

And no, I enjoy the criticism.

I'll make a better town hall later, and I'd like other people to comtribute as well.

Guess not.

Damn, I always suck in Paint.

I made an isometric worm.

Something I need to improve?

It's not bad, but shading and maybe a crease at the body/tail join might not go amiss.

Something I need to improve?
Yes. Just because something is isometric doesn't mean you have to draw everything as a block.

It's also very tall, considering it's twice the size of the doorwayMost buildings are at least twice the height of their doorway, except maybe bungalows.

Take two :

MUCH better!

I loved the last iso thread. Continue.

I think his upper lip juts out too quickly. It should be more gradual, methinks.

OKay, I made the inside of the mayor's office. If anyone can make an outside wall with a window looking into this, that'd be great.

A statue in rememberance of Zeor before the meteor hit.

this looks like Habbo Hotel Mobile.

I have no Idea what you just said.
Or typed, rather.

Habbo Hotel, isn't that where the whole "THERE'S AIDS ON THE POOL!" thing happened isn't it?

I think so...

It's where a Dutch guy was arrested for stealing $6000 worth of virtual furniture.

Habbo Hotel, isn't that where the whole "THERE'S AIDS ON THE POOL!" thing happened isn't it? Nevar forget.

Can orthographicall art be put here?

Sure, aslong as it rules.

Like if it becomes isometric if viewed orthographically?

Yeah, that's okay.

I love what you did with the town hall, cept the spurt of water on the fountain seems to have died.

You mean, resize it?
Cause that's all he did as far as I can tell...

Who doesn't? Without that, most of us probably wouldn't have ever heard the song (what with it being DDR and all).

And with that note the forum became on topic again.

there's certainly some nostalgia value there but a lot of it now just seems like an overarching attempt to be wacky and random

this video isn't as funny as i remember it being :(
That's obviously because since 'eric prydz - call on me', people everywhere have a much higher standard of music. And with such a boring, dull song, the flash is just ruined now. What Mukee should do is do the flash again, only using 'eric prydz - call on me' as the backround music. I'd give that a 10/10!

Nevar forget.

Go away.

I think I see what Xinos did. He changed the angles from the almost 120 degrees that you get with the normal "diagonals are composed of 2x1 rectangles" method" to actual 120 degree angles, presumably by squashing the image a tiny amount horizontally.

Yeah. It kinda gives the impression that even if the image is 2D, it could easily be placed an a 3d environment. It also somewhat changes how the building looks, but that's okay :P.

I still never really got round to finishing my last project:

Oh,and S2k, I'd really like to see that clock tower finished. It looks great.

The try again was for poninja.

The compliments were for Star Worms. I looked away for a second and forgot who I was replying to.:p

Here is a quick one I did:

It isn't that great, because I did it quickly with MS Paint. If you have any constructive criticism to give, then please do so.

You could tuch up the windows on the left by adding a white stripe of reflectiveness to the whole side.

Oh, wow. That's really good, just don't save in JPG. Always use PNG.

If you have any constructive criticism to give, then please do so.
Here's one:
Don't save in JPG!

I didn't, but the website I used to upload the picture automatically converted it to a JPG. :(

Lol, its ok. Love that name. Cool Weapons. lol.

Yeah, the windows need some shading.

The C on the top doesn't make any sense. It's projected wrong, and why would they put it there at all? Who'd ever see it? And if they did, why that way around?

It needs some depth - the whole surface is very flat. In real life you'd probably find the windows indented slightly with a window-sill visible. Secondly, show a few things through the windows like you did with the door. Despite the shading on one side of the building, the window colours look odd as they are so different from each other. Also, the middle lines shouldn't really be 2 pixels wide.

The worm also looks a little wonky and out of proportion.

I had to make the middle line 2 pixels wide so it would be in the exact centre of the door. Plus, what you suggested is a very good idea, but if I did that, it would have taken a whole lot longer. Although I might try it and post an updated version.

Villa to come.

Hey, those look pretty good. I think they need branches, though.

I said I did it quickly.Even in that case though, you're supposed to pick one or the other, not both. It doesn't look as out of place as it does when the line is 2px thick.

Alright, here's another one:

That's pretty good. Except for the shading.

What do you mean "except the shading"?

The shadow from the nuclear reactor thing.

There is no shadow, just shading. I couldn't be bothered to draw shadows, even though it probably would have made the picture look better.

Ok here's the house I made.
Mostly done with paint, a little fireworks.

Pink = neighbourhood colour.
You can change the road 'n stuff too of couse.

P.S. Muscular Worm doesn't live here, his home is still to come.

Really?
Then, how do you explain THIS?!? :eek:

The shadow from the nuclear reactor thing.

I assumed that was a pipe.

(Although the shading is still bad.)

I assumed that was a pipe.

(Although the shading is still bad.)I assumed he was talking about the shading on the cone, which is only 3 colours and doesn't blend.

Doesn't it all count?

Oh, and I can't wait to see Muscular Worm's place. I'm gonna make the new town hall in proportion to the house you just made.

EDIT
Muahaha, I built a graveyard based off a small area of Morningside Cemetery from Blood.
I had the characters over at the PostMortem forum, and decided to add to the isotown.

Does anyone want to create a generic worm sprite to use at all of the houses, so the worms look semi-consistent?

EDIT EDIT
Uh, forgot to add the graveyard.

Is anyone going to, say, put these all together into one town? Or are you just gonna keep them here and hope that someone does at some point?

http://img404.imageshack.us/img404/903/isograveyardcj8.pngThe walls are only 1 pixel thick...

Could be a cardboard wall. Painted.

It was actually supposed to be fencing, but changed to brick.
And yes, I'll make it into a town, once we have a good amount of houses and things.

Suppose I'll have to dig out my old, crap banana house I did ages ago. I'll probably do it on boxing day as I have a 2600 for Christmad.
