Painting Plane Crazy: Perfect Paint Block Techniques

In Plane Crazy, the Paint Tool is one of six main tools within the game. It allows players to paint and colour most parts of their plane, adding a pop of colour to an otherwise boring craft. The Paint Block is a specialised block in which all six sides can be painted individually, although you cannot paint a different material on each side. The Paint Tool can be used to paint the Paint Block, although it is worth noting that not all parts of the plane can be painted.

Using the Paint Tool

The Paint Tool is one of the six main tools within the Plane Crazy game. It allows the player to paint and colour most parts of the plane, adding a pop of colour to an otherwise boring craft. The hotkey for this tool is 5.

All materials can be painted by the Paint Tool, but not all parts can be painted, nor can all parts of certain materials be painted. For example, regular glass shows other colours but doesn't show white very well.

The Paint Tool allows the player to use any HEX colour code or choose from the preset colours.

The Paint Block is a specialised block in which all six sides can be painted individually. However, you cannot paint a different material on each side. It can be used to create very detailed builds, but it takes a long time to place them as they don't have a beam variant.

Selecting colours

Understand the Basics

Begin by familiarizing yourself with the basics of the colour wheel and the primary, secondary, and tertiary colours. This knowledge will help you mix and match colours effectively and create interesting combinations.

Choose a Dominant Colour

It is essential to select one dominant colour that will be the focal point of your paint block. This colour will set the mood and feeling of your creation. For instance, if you choose red as the dominant colour, it can evoke emotions such as passion, energy, or excitement.

Consider Complementary Colours

To make your paint blocks pop, use the colour wheel to find the complementary colour of your dominant shade. For example, if your dominant colour is green, its complementary colour is red, and vice versa. Using complementary colours together creates a vibrant and contrasting effect.

Experiment with Shades, Tints, and Tones

Explore different variations of your chosen colours by lightening or darkening them. You can create shades by adding black to a colour, tints by lightening the colour, and tones by adding grey. These variations will provide a range of restful colours that can be used alongside more saturated colours for emphasis.

Understand Pigments

There are three types of pigments: organic, inorganic, and synthetic. Organic pigments are derived from plants or animals, inorganic pigments come from rocks, and synthetic pigments are modified versions of the first two types. Inorganic pigments are great for nature paintings, while synthetic pigments tend to mix very chromatic colours.

Use Reference Photos and Sketches

Start with a reference photo or create a sketch to plan your design. Modify the composition to make it more dynamic—play around with sizes, angles, and shapes to create a visually appealing layout.

Remember, these are just guidelines, and you can always experiment and find your unique style. Happy painting!

Painting individual sides of a block

In Plane Crazy, the Paint Tool is one of the six main tools within the game. It allows players to paint and colour most parts, adding pops of colour to their craft. The hotkey for this tool is 5. While all materials can be painted by the Paint Tool, not all parts can be painted.

The paint block is a specialized block in which all six sides can be painted individually. However, you cannot paint a different material on each side. It can be used to create very detailed builds, but it takes a long time to place them as they don't have a beam variant.

To paint individual sides of a block, it is recommended to use a paintbrush to work the paint into the bumps and caulk lines. Then, use a roller to cover larger areas. It is important to note that the paint tool does not currently allow users to paint individual sides of a block. However, players have suggested adding this feature to the "'R'" menu, allowing players to choose between painting the whole block or individual faces.

Using the Interface

To access the Interface in Plane Crazy, you need to press the green button with a plane icon in the bottom left. A new interface will appear, with the speed and fuel indicator on the left and the camera icon on the right. The camera icon lets you switch between three camera views: 1st person, locked 3rd person, and free 3rd person. The hotkey for this button is 'C'. To return to Build Mode, use the 'Back' arrow key (return key).

The Interface also has a 'Flip' button that flips the build, ensuring it always faces forward/north. The 'Gravity Slider Panel' allows you to control gravity, affecting you and your build. The default gravity value is 180, and you can reset it using the 'reset' button or manually type the value.

The Interface also includes the following:

• Settings: Located under the grey gear icon.
• Tutorial: The yellow button takes you to the tutorial, and once clicked, it becomes the 'Skip Tutorial' button.
• Gamepasses: The green shopping cart icon takes you to the gamepass 'store'.
• Save: The darker blue button that leads to your save slots.

The Paint Tool is one of the six main tools in the game, and you can access it through the Interface. It allows you to paint and colour most parts of your plane, and its hotkey is '5'. While all materials can be painted, not all parts or their sections can be painted. Regular glass, for example, doesn't show white very well.

Placing blocks

To place blocks in Plane Crazy, you need to access the Build Tool. This is one of the six buttons on the Interface, represented by a hammer icon. Once you've clicked on the Build Tool, you can press the 'Basic Building Blocks' button, which appears as a cube icon. From the menu, select the 'Block' button. It doesn't matter which type of block you choose, as they are both the same.

Now you can start placing your blocks. You will need to place six blocks facing forward to form the fuselage of your plane. You can use the large arrow painted on the ground as a guide for the direction in which to build. It's important to build in the correct direction, as failing to do so can cause problems.

You can also add a propeller engine and a pilot seat at this stage. Place them in the same direction as the blocks you've already laid down.

If you want to add control surfaces, navigate to the section below the basic building blocks button, which has an image of a wing on it. Place your control surfaces, ensuring that the grey part faces backward. If the grey part faces forward, your controls will be inverted.

You can also use the Conveyor Belt to push loose blocks. This can be coloured to look more realistic.
