Banished - Art Mod

DVL

Latest update:



_____________________________________

Hey guys!

decided to begin a new project! Even though mod tools aren't yet available, I've already begun working on assets I intend to integrate in the game(Mostly village assets).

This is just something i want to do in order to practive hand painted texturing, which I have never really done before. I also want to try and give it a personalized and original visual style.

humble beginnings, here's a rooftop texture:



any input is appreciated, as always

LMP

Nice start, I feel you could push the contrast more

DInusty

ohh dope! this game is pretty cool and i would really like to see some at least art mod support for it.

following this!

ps roof looks dope!

DVL

new stuff!

This time it's a stone wall texture which I'll use as a base for other patterns.

I also used this opportunity to try working from a base texture to see if it had any benefits. I kind of seem to enjoy it, although no details from it remain it gives you a nice starting point for shapes, tint and color variations. I might do that more often!

I might come back to tweak this texture a little still, like add a little more lighting or something -- but that'll have to do for today.

DVL

Went with the same technique as last time, but this time it's for wooden planks!

I'm building a database for my base textures, I plan on using fully skinned buildings since they're going to be rather small on the screen. I definitely intend to cram as much detail as I can in there!

Tits

DVL? from beenox?

DVL

Haha, yup! ^_^

Timotii48

Wow, great work man.
I really like that you break down the he process of the textures and show it.
Makes me wanna try something like that too

Keep it up, I'm gonna follow this

littlebump8

Nice hand painted textures.

Xenobond

Glad to see I'm not the only one wanting to spruce up the Banished. My stuff is still just scribbles on paper at this point, but I like where you are headed.

Looks comfy.

DVL

This one was a little tougher, Hay roof texture. Not entirely satisfied with it, but it will do the job just fine when put in game context. Here are the results, any suggestions on how to improve it is welcome

DVL

I've begun some modeling and applied basic textures, there's still a couple of textures I need to do before I can create buildings at a steady pace. I've spent more time on the roof so far, so please ignore the rest

slosh

Oh man, this brings back memories. Before I got into characters, I did a TON of environment stuff and most of it used tiling textures and what you're doing looks a lot like the ones I did back in the day. Great work btw!

DVL

Love your characters man, that comic-con batman is super awesome.

DVL

had a little time to work on tweaking some textures and refine the building shape. Going to have to work on some windows and doors textures pretty soon!

DVL

This is proving to be a great hand painting exercice so far!

Refined the building some more, I started working on window textures and looked at a possible different chimney style (Not sure I like it yet)

obviously some parts are still WIP, yet comments are always welcome.

KMiklas

Lovely!

Personally I would love to see some nice color variations. Maybe green when it meets ground? Or some vertex painted AO? I would try to unify or differentiate more the construction wood and the roof's tiles (by mean of colors, now it seems to me they are "just not yet matched").

Keep going!

looprix

Really looking good, like KMiklas said some vert AO would look nice. Also how about a grungy 2nd uv map that offsets the repetitiveness? Or maybe vines?

vvheris

nicely done. Maybe you could add some more color variation? paint in some blues and greens. Also, the bricks could be a little less contrasted and a bit darker.

DVL

Yup, color variation is indeed an issue I intend to work on. I like the vines ideas too I'll probably mess around with that.

All your input is very valuable, thanks a lot guys.

DVL

I've changed the way I build the roofing so i don't get that weird wooden trim all around it (It made coloring the roof look awkward).

Added a base Trim as well as a door texture. Next objective is to make better wall surfaces and figure out a cool chimney design.

I also wanted to make the roofing blue, but it instantly rings that "World of Warcraft" bell a little too much

Midbin

I like this very much and would love to see this in Game, although I agree that some color variation (maybe vines) could improve this a bit.

DVL

Shaking things up! I still need to prop it up and add some more detail, but vines are really going to improve the overall looks(This is just a test, I still need to work on em a little)! I also added moss on the roof instead of paint, and I prefer it this way.

Sorry if iterations are a bit slow, there so many things to do with free time that I sometimes neglect this project a little

Obscura

I really like the style of this. Nive textures!
The roof tiles looks a bit too big to me when I compare them to the door or to the windows anyways.

Sage

Great work. Thanks for sharing your process too.

DVL

I wasnt satisfied with the overall look of the chimney (As you might have noticed from the multiple different iterations)

Decided to bring up something quite different, and that's going to carry the heat a little better throughout the building ^_^

It's not textured yet, I just doodled around

drysider

Just want to say that as a big fan of banished, these look SO good! They have fantastic style, I'm really excited to see them in my own games when you get to finishing them!

_Kratos_

Hey! Nice work, I'm a big fan of the the game... it's ncie to see somebody doin this!

DVL

Spent an hour tonight creating and mapping the metal Tubing texture for the chimney!

DVL

Tonight I worked on the evolution of the rooftop texture. I want the color palette to turn towards purple-ish tones with contrasts of green overgrowth. A similar treatment will be applied to every texture, allowing your city to evolve visually over time (and possibly decay/force you to repair some of your older structures)
