side views and Kara

StickyMonk · Posted: Mon Jun 13, 2011 10:35 am Post subject: side views and Kara

One thing I would like to see if the ship pics different for full and empty (and stages in between) like the rough examples I done below.

Full

Half full

Empty

And just because the ship is full it does not always mean that it is at capacity in weight so a loaded ship could be like the examples below

It would be nice if there was a gradient in how the ship sits in the water even if it was just max weight, 75%, 50%, 25% empty.

It also bothers me is that in Kara all the ships show loaded and moving, shouldn't they be not moving and empty, and I really would like a port as to where the ship is so it might take a while for ships to get to you.

Also for new ships, could a construction yard be added to the XML data so when a ship is ready it needs to be moved from there?

Great idea!

Especially the one of having the ship built in a specific shipyard, not in the home port.

I need some backdrop side views of harbours which would be great if some volunteer work can be done.
Also a sideview of a shipyard area would be great etc. so to fill a kind of states (also display in the world view for the current ship position).

Really help is needed as I dont have any grafic person at the moment here to help me out. Credits will be given of course.

does the side view of the harbour need to be a photo or a hand made drawing?

both is ok I think, but must be free of rights.
handmade could have an advantage of course as the style is consistent and can be done for all harbours where it is difficult to get fotots (like the front views in the captains menue)
