I have learned about everything on how to do CS, but I still need some help on the below questions:

1. How can you make recolorable items?

2. Does anyone have an links for textures that you use?

3. Will images that are 512x512 work as textures?

I will probably add some questions later.

Thanks,

Hi,

1 - Recolourabe texture tut for photoshop - http://www.customscenerydepot.com/pages/...rials.html

2 - This place is my favourite - http://www.cgtextures.com/
There's alot of other royalty free texture sites around. Google images is worth a look too.

3 - Yes but only use that size for objects that need a texture that size. A good rule of thumb is 128x128 for 1m x 1m objects, 256x256 for 2m x 2m and 512x512 for anything over 4m x 4m. I recommend learning about shared textures if you're gonna use them lots, otherwise your sets wil get very big, very quickly and it'll be likely to cause lag.

Happy CS making!

I just wanted to tell you guys that I made my first custom scenery piece! I don't have an image, but I just wanted to tell you that I will soon have CS sets! YAY

Can you take a screenie for us? Good luck making full sets btw.

My first custom scenery piece! It was originally supposed to be an alternate ground cover, but it is still a good first piece even though it didn't come out right.

Make one that's really big and on the ground rather than a wall. Then some 1 x 1 versions that are conforming and place them on all the tiles, then save it as a structure and make a download.

I made it flat in sketchup, but I forgot to delete the full RCT3 tile. I think that is what messed it up.

I know this is a old thread, but I didn't want to make another thread, anyways, what size do you need for icons? I forgot

Never mind, sorry for bringing the thread back

You need a 64x64 JPEG image.

I didn't realize you needed a JPEG, no wonder the icon didn't work!
