My first Bryce building. :)

EDIT: City screen icons added.

Some previews. First is what it looks like in Bryce, the other is what it looks like as a Civlopedia icon. There's also a Wonder Splash included in the RAR/ZIP file. :)

It's great.:goodjob: I hope there'll be many more.:)
 
Good, but you sacrificed the delicate green background that all other building pics have.
Imo it would be better to just use less colours for the main buildings + i know that it is tiresome to make the palettes.

I too prefer the ordinary green background. :)

For me it takes exactly 0 seconds to make a palette for a new building. :)

@Ogedei: Nice! :thumbsup: But which Imperium is it? China?

I thought of using the standard Civ3 grass background, but the colors would contrast too much. It'd look awkward. :) I think HikaroTakayama also uses the Bryce grass instead of the Civ3 grass as well.

The building is modeled after Tang Dynasty architecture. ;)
 
Looks great Ogedei :goodjob:

:mischief: I have a use for this if you think it could pass for sengoku architecture.
 
The building is really great. But for the purpose of consistency I too would probably prefer the normal grass:)

What the heck I'm just gonna do it myself;)

How?
I have mspaint & the gimp, and it definately does not take 0 seconds to place all the tonal variations needed. Saving as a 256-colour pic in mspaint means total destruction of the colours, since mspaint does not compute which colours appear more frequently; it just creates a generic 256-colour scale (i do not know judging on what exactly).
 
I use Photoshop, and use the method described in the tutorial in my sig.
Basically, that means that I pick out the two transparency colours, and then let Photoshop do the rest. :)

That's what I did for this one as well. :) Works out quite well. I didn't lose a lot of colors.
 
Ogedei_the_Mad,
Job well done. Certainly better than my first Bryce building, which was too low in quality for me to make avialable for download. Although I think later posted it here in some thread about Bryce.
One suggestion. Make a bmp of the existing civ grass and then cut out the rendered grass (except for the shadow) and combine them in photoshop.
 
I think I'll do two versions for the next one then - one with the Bryce grass and the other with the Civ grass. I just don't like the Civ grass. ;)
