A Four Season Oak tree
Posted: 06 Apr 2017, 21:27
A four season tree for the terrain tab:
"frames per tree" must equal "count" unless you want trees switching spots every month.
And this is 4seasonoak.png:
My seasons are reversed, but it still works ok.
Here is how an oak forest looks in game:
To make the four frame image, start with a 32wx32h image:
Code: Select all
[
{
"id":"$tree.ab.unq.00",
"type":"tree",
"title":"trees for terrain",
"text":"4",
"author":"CommanderABab",
"frames":[
{"bmp":"4seasonoak.png","w":32,"count":4}
],
"influence pollution":-1,
"influence noise":-1,
"influence nature":1,
"frames per tree":4,
"influence radioactive":-1
}

Here is how an oak forest looks in game:
To make the four frame image, start with a 32wx32h image:
- 1 Draw the trunk(s), branches, and shadows.
2 When finished with that, save it.
If you use Pixly, select and copy it also.
3 Now make a mark on the left or right.
4 Now resize the image to (w+32)x32h.
5 Move the mark in the image to the edge.
6 Erase the mark.
7 Now paste (and move if necessary) the saved image into the blank spot.
8 Repeat from 2 until the image is 128wx32h and you have 4 trunks.
9 Draw the leaves and shadows in each section according to the season.
10 Save and use it.
