Your build helper icons look nice :) Are they intended to replace the old, flat ones?

I especially like the matt (non-glossy) texture.

I like these a lot. Only two nitpicks: the green house (big building) has a strange stripes on its roof. Might be shadows from the pinnacles. And I am not overfond of the brown of the flag; I also think flags will be hard to see with those. I suggest sticking to the yellow which stands out. Very nice work! Can't wait to see them in game.

I, too, find your build help symbols very attractive. Could you post them in the scale they will be seen in the game?
I think scaling them down to game size will minimize the shadow effect on the roof, but I'd like to see it to be sure.
I agree. Try a color that will stand out more from the background (Builders and surveyors use yellow or orange for just that reason.) If we animate the set_flag markers, I think we should scale them even smaller than their current size of 38x42 in the game, again lest they cause too much distraction. AFAIK, animating the set_flags will require some new program coding, too. Very nice work! Let's see them scaled to the game. I see little people.

@martin Yes if I got it right it is planned to replace them. @kingcreole No I have used the standart shader of blender. But with raytracing and ambient occlusion. I would not animate it because it should be a helper to plan your buildings not a part of the living wide lands. I have pushed all in a bazaar branch (including the blend file): ~florian-angermeier/widelands-media/widelands-build-helper-icons

To help us get a little perspective from which to judge, here are some examples as seen from the game: Edit: added reference numbers for images to make discussion easier

I have tweaked the road and the large building icons (and pushed to the branch): Road: I hope the flag is now more consistent. Large building: It is now a bit smaller. Feedback is welcome.

But not so bright a shade that it will distract.
