I have chiselwiz, but honestly it isn't that useful for glass paintings. The ability to plane and replace a color with another can sometimes help, but I've made plenty of glass paintings just vanilla. The problem with using a mod is that the paintings just require a voxel by voxel touch. I did use the plane in this video to try to speed up the process for the video, but in the end it didn't help much. Still the plus to a glass painting is that they are much smaller than the murals usually needed to convey a scene using just solid blks, so it's either less of a grind to get materials vs more time chiseling per blk. I would suggest starting with creative mode just because duplicating blks is very useful when learning (or for using smoky glass which is a pain to find), but making them during vanilla survival winter on a world where you can easily trade for colored glass isn't all that much more difficult once you get a hang of it. It is definitely an art where it's going to take a lot of time on the first few paintings, but it gets quicker for each painting after that.

Thanks 7embre. I think it might work with andesite instead as well. I will have to try. Usually I don't like pairing phyllite with andesite, because one is warm and the other is cool, and I went with the darker one in this case, but it probably would work with one or the other or both in a greyscale. For sure. I inset the pupils a bit for this one and they do follow you are bit, but the illusion breaks down looking from the side too far, probably because some of the levels around the eyes interfere. Give me a bit and I'll see if I can capture it. Though I do have a rough outline for a painting based on a Cezanne that I've never finished where that illusion does work. That entire eye for that one is one color, so maybe that is why that one works better.

Testing how far I can push using just regular glass to increase the number of colors you can get for a greyscale. Probably still needs some tones between the chalk and phyllite. Here is the before adding the regular glass vs after. Found that some of the basalt shifts lighter with the glass when compared to the shale.

Just wondering, I have a big painting planned out. If I was to do another video, what parts of the process do ya'll want want to see? It's most likely going to be half glass dominate and half solid dominate, kind of like the heron painting, but is based on a Fauvism portrait called Red Dancer by Dongen and will probably be 2.5 blk high by 2 blks wide. So will take too long to record the whole chisel process, but I'm happy to document anything that would be useful along the way.

Nice to see another modern VS creator! The firepit is clean.

Thanks! I guess by anti-alias you mean the edges on the voxels aren't as apparent. That effect is from staggering the depth of the "underpainting" (aka solid blk layer) and semi filling gaps and adding a layer of transparent blks (aka glass and ice) on top. The transparent pixels when added over the solid pixels create slight fridge colors since the viewer's angle causes the transparent color to mix with several pixels beneath. So it kind of works like anti-aliasing.

Haven't had much time or brainpower to play survival much lately, which means new interior build time. Made it in creative but _should_ be possible to make in survival. (Though the clutter items would be a pain to get I'm sure) Let me know if you want more info one how to make the glass painting or more angles of the room.

Has Anybody Else Experienced Glitchy Crafting Output Slots?
lawn replied to ThePeterCopter's topic in Questions
I keep getting it on my single player world with rammed dirt. (Though I've see it for flint knives and shovels too in the same game) Works for a few hours, but once it starts, restarting the game is the only way to make those usable blks/items. I still managed to play for a while after, and kind of used it as a challenge to see how long I could last without the knife once, but restarting the game always seems to fix it. The weirdest part was getting the unusable/disappearing duplicates if you manage to click quick enough. Oddly I added mods to that world and it's been behaving since, but correlation does not causation make, so idk, probably from just crafting less bulk blks now. -
I find I'm missing my old TOPs base. Was very pleased with how the textures worked out for this old bookstore sign.

Btw, just for those who also read the glass painting build post, I would categorize this one as a solid dominant glass painting verses the glass dominant glass painting like the water lilies and impressionist sunrise. I break the category into two now since the techniques you use are different, but the split comes from where most of the color is created. From the solid base painting, it's solid dominant and uses glass to tint or darken and lighten; from the glass, it's glass dominant and uses layering.

Nice! I do love this style in Vintage Story.

I've done a large field on a complex slope. You can put water sources under the first block of the next level and a few selected other blocks as water sources in as random a pattern as possible. (while making sure every field blk will get some water boost) Then I added in a mud brick slab in all the water source blocks so they read just as muddy patches in the field. You could also try something like breaking up the field into multiple fields by using walls or lines of berry bushes. Takes a bit more effort than doing rows, but quite doable.

Predators might be able to spawn on the cliff edges and fall on top of the fence from above to get in depending on your location. And I think bears have a 3 blk climb ability, unless it got updated. Also an open field like this will need a lightning rod positioned high above. Keeping animals in a lighted stable is the safest option, but don't let that stop you from using an open field if you like the look. They just take a little more thinking to keep all the animals safe or you can just assume you may have some animal loss and keep a breeding pair safe somewhere nearby, which is what I usually do after I reach gen 3. (Since it's easier to move them about at that point.)

I'm love all the painted glass! The round one in particular. Is it the side windows that are causing your dissatisfion? Because you could try these techniques. Too contrasting, you could add a layer of the quartz glass to the back to tone the color down, or if it's that it's too primary, you could switch the green to blue? All depends on what you want, personally I think the shape on them is great.

Wanted to try a Victorian painted glass window only using a single paired pane.

Two more glass paintings. The first is "Starry Night" by Van Gogh. It didn't come out as well as I wanted, but I wanted to see how far I could push using glass as texturing. Next is me trying to recreate as still life based of a screenshot. I think it came out pretty well.

Updated the photos on this post since the new update will change the berry bushes, and since this uses sheared and unsheared bushes heavily, I wanted to release it before the update. If anyone wants to take a closer look or steal some chisels from it, here is the build. claim-teaHouse.json

That is my TOPS neighbor's windmill who lives across the lake. His name was Chokomix. (Though I am probably misspelling it) I remember he made a beautiful Ukranian style chiseled oven as part of his build and loved sailing about the lake.

Just thought I would show the antique store I made on the TOPS server. Was trying to go for that cluttered look that is unique to antiquing.

For me, I keep a graph notebook around with me, and when I get an idea I can do a quick sketch and ensure the sizing will work. Then I do a rough test in creative to figure out the colors and flow of the build. Then if the blk pallet isn't too impossible to gather, I can make it in survival. As for interior vs exterior first, it depends on the idea I'm excited for. If it's furniture, I start with interior; if it's a building style I want to try, exterior first.

Just a quick video showing another trick with glass. You can purposely surround some colored glass with another glass so it will only show up from certain directions. This one is basic but the trick could be useful for other applications or make various patterns/pictures with different shapes. Btw, I made it at my TOPS base as well, right next to the south road (8700 straight down). So there's a month viewing time if anyone want to see it.
