That's right

That is right

The easiest solution would probably be some very basic 3d box modeling of furniture rendered out in a cell shaded style.  Much easier than hunting for photographs or photoshopping or trying to draw stuff from reference.  Unless you want extravagant or accurate drapery, furniture is very quick and easy to model.

You'll find it very hard to get it to look nice. You'd prolly need to put more effort into the model, texture, and render than you would with just drawing a sprite.

I'm still alive, just been working on boring background stuff like xml formatting and rearranging sprite sheets and making alternate poses.

I've been meaning to play around with the equipment stuff, but i can't seem to get the XML stuff right, Japa had one syntax a few pages back, and there's a different set of syntax in clothed_dwarves.xml but neither of them seem to work properly.

What's the proper syntax for clothing, and will i have to duplicate the clothing stuff for every variation type?

[Caldfir]

I think the syntax in clothed_dwarves.xml is correct.  If you want amore exhaustive example you can check here.  I'm not sure if any of the clothing stuff has made it to the release version of dfhack yet though, so uless you compiled it yourself the clothing won't show up yet (I think).

That did the trick! my sprites can now have clothes!

They don't seem to get colored by dyes tho, is that a possibility in the future?

Yes, Japa has dyes working (observe midnight blue dimple dye in my screenshot) and that should be in the next version.

excellent!

this xml file is going to be hilarious to make, i have 88 castes XD

I have an issue where it takes forever to load from DF.

Are you using the correct version of Stonesense (from the DFHack thread)? If you are, then I definitely need more information than that to help you. 

Does it hang forever? What OS are you using? What version of DF are you running? What game mode are you trying to run? Does your computer have a video card? If you're playing fort mode, how big is your embark?

Hi me again . I asked about layering the beds. Different question this time. I'd like to make some items which would either be laying around or be in stockpiles. Is there a way to have items displayed? or do you still have to add that feature?

[Rose]

Working on adding that feature right now, though sprites are always welcome.

Right now you can make sprites and test them using custom buildings, until I get items working right.

Very cool! I am using blender3d to produce some sprites with different LOD for different zooms.  It's an experiment, but one I am having fun with I'll keep watching the thread. Good Luck

One more thing, sorry if it is a stupid question. What "camera" angle are you fellows basing your images on? reason I ask is that there seems to be no fewer than 3 different angles that can be used for isometric views. :p

[Sorcerer]

Japa, you are a god among dwarves! That feature is amazing! :O
