H3SW: Adventure Map Objects

This thread is reserved for the discussion of adventure map object development, both graphics and functionality.

What size should 'school of war' have? I Mean this one

Only a bit, so it would fit to the rest of objects. I checked it, it should be about 30% bigger.

The best option is to try to stick to H3 sizes where possible. It's nice for RMG, if not for the overall h3-to-h2 feeling.

For regular creature dwellings sticking to H3 sizes/passability is obligatory.

Hey there, I've got a tower I don't know what for. It's 3 tiles wide, because I didn't make to to one tile, but the entry should be 1 tile. It could get colour adjustment maybe, I'm not sure it fits the scenery, but I used h2 palette.
Edit: fixed a bit so it looks better on the map.

New building. Again, not sure what it can do. I'm not oriented what is missing currently in adventure objects.

Used h2 bush.

The unknown structure can be very well adjusted for being an underground object. As you may already know, the native underground terrain is going to be Sand (so that brownish Dirt-styled objects may come in handy there too).

Don't know yet what to say about the tower, it's a little too flat right now to be thought of as an object. But still I don't think it can't be utilized for some purpose too.

you are doing a great job YhyJasne! Nice having you arround and seeing people who have the talent contribute !

This Sand?
I'm not sure how my structure fits it. The tower's elements can be used  of course. Such as dragon's profiles, green orb or the entrance.
I updated the tower a bit, now it looks like a temple more.edit2:

Here is a fast made castle for a neutral object, maybe a griffin conservatory. (I couldn't set up airbrush in damn gimp, so it looks really smooth)

I present you my version of university. It's 2am so I didn't put final touch. I plan on adding a tree on the patio and work a bit on entrance.
Also will recolour a bit the roof and add couple details

Looking very nice!

One advice from me is to try to avoid using trees and other terrain-specific elements. This structure should be available to be placed on every terrain, and if you have green trees on lava, it doesn't add nice flavor to the atmosphere.

Other than that, looking very interesting. I believe some adjustments can be added, but still, it's a very nice start. Probably, the perspective should be also varied in future updates (maybe even after v0.8 beta release).

This also can be used for underground and enrich its object variety. Nice draft!

If it comes to passability, i thought it's an 4x2 object, and drawn this before I checked. Now I see there is also 3 tiles space that is impassable on the top. I can remake the perspecitve, it's not a big deal, especially on walls that require the least work. I believe it should looks like this:

This is the most I can do if I want to keep the entrance on the middle of the square. and more or less stick to the grid. What is the current state on RMG? will it work for 0.8?

I think it will look good that way. We will be to fix the colors/gamma further in future, and probably, the perspective (it's too complex for Heroes 2 right now).

It should.

Here's my try on couple objects that are missing. Warrior's Tomb is missing ornaments, but I will finish it later

I think it's not necessary to copy H3 designs. But we will try to find use to any new graphics presented

I think they could be used as they are such iconic objects. at least they should be similar in some way to those from h3. This is my first and last try to copy something from h3. We can also recolour those objects a bit to be more different.

What I really like in our Mod, is that we can add infinite number of new objects Our current Tomb of Warrior and War Machine Factory are very poor rips from Palm heroes, so I will with pleasure put new graphics into editor as main artworks.

Here's a darker version on of those objects. they fit the adventure map better. Feel free to make any further changes so they don't step out too much.

Sacrifice Altar

Seer's Hut

What do you think?
edit: fixed a bit borders so they look better on adventure map (my first experiment with different colour of border on seers hut.

Lol, both looks great! They're very imaginative, especially the snail shell.

Seer's hut 2 and 3. I tried to make them with similar style to the previous, but they it didn't work well. Still, might be used as a placeholder for something better. I lacked creativity and mood.

Thanks for them. Even in the current form they can serve as drafts or placeholders. Probably, we should talk more about dwelling production soon, it seems that my life is becoming slower so finally I can spend more time on the forum.

you are really good at this stuff YhyJasne, you should try an animated object like a windmill if you want a challenge !

Thanks, robizeratul! The graphics don't actually fit the game so well, so they're not so good, but as Orzie said, they might be used as drafts or placeholders. We already got windmill and I totally forgot we can have animated objects, lol. I will try though.
Here's a draft for black market (I don't like it, so I will change it in the future)
