Use your knowledge and imagination.

How could we go about, making paintings, to be hung, in game?

Somewhere between the limits of what would be desirable, by a person with no coding experience and the most imagination.

And all the coding knowledge, and ability, of the world, is a method, for a functional way that people can make paintings for this game.

All input is welcome.

I have a few thoughts, and observations, to add.

The frame can be as simple, or as complex, as it is wanted to be.
Short Shaft + Blank Paper = Frame with Canvas

Boards + Bolt of Wool Cloth = Frame with Canvas

Bowl of Wood Pulp + Clay Crock = Bowl + Partial Crock of Wood Pulp
Bowl of Wood Pulp + Partial Crock of Wood Pulp = Bowl + Half Full Crock of Wood Pulp
Bowl of Wood Pulp + Half Full Crock of Wood Pulp = Bowl + Nearly Full Crock of Wood Pulp
Bowl of Wood Pulp + Nearly Full Crock of Wood Pulp = Bowl + Full Crock of Wood Pulp
Bolt of Wool Cloth + Full Crock of Wood Pulp = Bolt of Wet Canvas Material + Clay Crock
Bolt of Wet Canvas Material + 120 seconds = Bolt of Dry Canvas Material
Bolt of Dry Canvas Material + Bucket of Water = Bolt of Wet Canvas Material + Bucket
Small Pulley + Long Shaft = Partial Small Pulley Mechanism
Small Pulley + Partial Small Pulley Mechanism = Small Pulley Mechanism
Steel Rod + Small Pulley Mechanism = Partial Roller Press Mechanism
Steel Rod + Partial Roller Press Mechanism = Roller Press Mechanism
Long Shaft + Roller Press Mechanism = Roller Press
Roller Press + Multipurpose Newcomen Engine = Newcomen Roller Press
Bucket of Water + Newcomen Roller Press = Empty Bucket + Newcomen Roller Press with Full Boiler
Basket of Charcoal + Newcomen Roller Press with Full Boiler = Basket + Newcomen Roller Press with Charcoal
Lit Candle + Newcomen Roller Press with Charcoal = Lit Candle + Firing Newcomen Roller Press
Bolt of Wet Canvas Material + Firing Newcomen Roller Press = Bolt of Canvas + Firing Newcomen Roller Press
Knife + Boards = Knife + Carved Frame
Bolt of Canvas + Carved Frame = Blank Painting Canvas with Frame
Bow Saw + Wooden Wheel = Bow Saw + Paint Palette
Paint Palette + Bucket of Red Paint = Paint Pallet with Red Paint + Bucket of Red Paint
Paint Palette with Red Paint + Bucket of Orange Paint = Paint Palette with RO Paint + Bucket of Orange Paint
...
Paint Palette with ROYGBIV Paint + Bucket of Black Paint = Paint Palette with ROYGBIVB Paint + Bucket of Black Paint
Paint Palette with ROYGBIVB Paint + Bucket of Milk Paint = Paint Palette with ROYGBIVBW Paint + Bucket of White Paint
Shears + Tame Horse = Shears with Horse Hair + Tame Horse
Shears with Horse Hair + Short Shaft = Shears + Paint Brush
Paint Brush + Paint Palette with ROYGBIVBW Paint = Paint Brush and Palette
Paint Brush and Palette + Blank Painting Canvas with Frame = Paint Brush and Palette + Painting

It can be as complex, or as easy, as we are willing to make it.
But what happens when the painting is made?
Could it be that a view, like with the camera, comes up, and a person begins the process of reproducing what is in that view?
Would the painting need to be placed on a tripod and moved around, and then, a smaller drawn and painted version, of the image they see, is reproduced on the canvas?
Should the player, be able to draw anything they want? If so how?
Should they be able to choose, from a selection of items, to be painted, and then a painting of that item is produced?

Should people be able to upload, and image they like, that is then shrunk and cropped, to, say a 64*64 canvas, that is then, able to be seen, by everyone?
Maybe a choice of frame sizes and color schemes, based on the paint of the palette, could then be made available to choose from, as filters for the uploaded image, and the player can choose from those colors and sizes, what image, will appear on the canvas?

What is possible?
What is doable?
What do we want and what are we willing to add, to the world?

Again, all input is welcome.
Share any idea you like.

Re: Use your knowledge and imagination.

Here are some of my thoughts:

Easiest method would be to make premade paintings at random or use common objects as templates like in case of crowns/tattoos
+ no extra coding needed
- no fun to waste time to roll specific one
- low variety and unintuitive design
? some sort of voting system for comunity made drawings like steam workshops ?

Simple pixel editors/painting programs
+ "unlimited" creativity
- extra UI
- hard to make good picture in limited time if you are not pro
- censoring ofensive drawings

Composing pictures from list of selected objects(new item artists sketchbook that stores list of objects you clicked on)
+ fast to use, similar to game editor
- hard to do more abstract paintings, can draw only things you can see in game

I have made similar topic almost year ago but none of players responded, I hope this one will not get buried under dozens of posts about how bad the game is nowadays.

Re: Use your knowledge and imagination.

I would love to be able to put photos onto a wall

When you make a photo with the camera, out comes a photo paper,
while you have it in your hand you can see the photo on your screen and you can also rightclick a wall with it to put it on a wall.
