I am going to develop some wall/window/door templates for this program...
Basics:
Width 6-1/2"
Height 8'
Length 10' & 20' sections
Door openings 36" x 7'
Window openings 30"x36"
I will also make beams to go along with them, as this would allow people to fab rooms quickly. I will post updates as I proceed.

 

Cool, although the angle of perspective
seems to be wrong for ToEE purposes.

 

The angle of perspective could be set whereever we need it ... by rotating on the axis'.. my major concern at this point is to ensure that we can use it to create new maps in an isometric view .... (I could turn it upside down and on end if people wanted it.)

 

I have been looking into that and there are perspective options that you can set, what angle do I need to set the map to give us the best modeling angle.. I know that I will never come close to Screegs work, but I will do my best to provide us with new content... if people can give me idea's of what types of maps they want I can play around with some idea's...

 

S...T... thoughts... I used the following settings
Camera: ISO
Perspective - Checked
Field of View - manually adjust to attain wall heights that appear similar

 

Looks cool. A little bit of graphical editing
and it may look quite good and realistic.
By this I mean getting rid of those contour
lines and obtaining better textures. Great
job nonetheless.

 

Well that's what the word contour means, does it?
I don't know, I'm not a native speaker.

 

... will look at that today, however I'm thinking if we dont extrude the wall thickness as much that they wont appear as predominant...

When we finalize, I will post the prefab wall sections to allow people to build quicker, and it also uses standard jpg graphic files for the material's so I should be able to copy over other programs files to give us a larger variety.

I can soften / smooth the lines which reduces them from glaring out at you but, there is still a minimal line in order to see the dimensions of the object.

**** edit at 9:46 *****
I turned off edges and now perfect (look mom no lines....):drunk:

 

two options...
1 --> shows edging
2 --> does not show edging

 

After some time of using the program I did this.
It's nothing much, just wanted to play around.
Oh and how did you get rid of the edges?

within google sketch

click:
view
rendering
uncheck edges
uncheck profile edges (although this could be left on to get a feeling of depth)

depending on your color scheme, you might need to work with the shades on the objects to attain a dimensional perspective when you turn off all of the edges

 

This is from a mini module called "Base of Ops" ... and I did not set the field of view so it will be slightly off ...
