Super Mario Bros. X Forums

It took a bit of time, but I've created my first "large scale" graphic "set", I have now added a snow tileset and fixed the trees as they were probably not the greatest part and looked like platforms.

- EDIT: I didn't think this would be updating so fast, well this is only to fix the pillowshading, so its sorta not an update

Were you inspired by Minecraft when you were making this tileset? I can see some similarities between these two styles. This looks alright.

Suprisingly, No! I was inspired by the level "Super Block Land" from Super Mario 3D World, It's one of the bonus stages

Looking at this made me realise how cool circles are.

E: Also nice pillowshading :33

Upvote. Although this is decent, I don't like the trees.

Pillowshading,banding...
It's pretty good for a third(I think)tileset,but needs improvement.

To be honest the trees were my worst thing, although when I tried to do something else as a background that was larger than 1 "block" I kept running into difficulties, so I ended up having to go with these trees

Actually a lot like minecraft! But It's cool...

I can't see where the banding is in the picture, on the matter I can't find where the pillowshading occurs either, It would definitely help if you could point out where this appears.

There's pillowshading on the trees, snowman, and bushes, but other then that it's really good! (Especially if you compare it to my third tileset...)

They actually appear in the same places, it's therefore pretty easy to get rid of, if you know what you're doing.

Start by defining a direction where light comes from.

Thanks, I'll try and get rid of it all by tonight and add some new screenshots

Looks better now! My only complaint is that the light source isn't always consistent- The bushes have a different light source than the brick blocks.

I just realised that now actually...

Since it isn't that big of a deal, I'll probably fix when I add some other stuff (Enemies, Cave area, ect.)

Reminds me not just of Minecraft, but Super Paper Mario to an extent.

I guess it does look quite simmilar

My only complaint now is that most of the light seems to come from the upper-right. While that's not bad in and of itself, the default graphics (and most custom ones as well) have the light coming from the upper-left. Still, that's easily fixed.
