Posted in this forum for a reason I don't quite understand - see below. :o I'm in the process of rebuilding my study that includes two desks (one for me and one for someone else who wants a say in the outcome....) and a side table for NAS drives, printer, etc. Anyway, I need a new monitor with...

Apologies if this has been reported elsewhere. It may also be a suitable thread for the content creation forum. I was trying to use one of my loco assets to test some scripting and thought I'd bump the Trainz Build to 5.1 to see what would happen. For 5.1 all my trainzmesh meshes that are in...

In a couple of months I'll be moving house (downsizing) and my PC is likely to be in storage for a while. So I thought I might buy a laptop as a Christmas/birthday present to replace my aging iPad that I only use when travelling. Not that I've done much of that recently! But I want this new...

The flood of beta test routes, plus monthly downloads, is preventing me from running any test sessions because all I do is download stuff. I have two TRS19 installations: one gold/silver public release and a beta version. On the non beta I have 89 outstanding DLC downloads of various items...

Performance on my PC for TRS2019 (96000) is "laggy". As an example, if I run the "Highland Limited" session in Kickstarter County 2, the loco drivers in the session pause on each revolution of the driving wheels. I don't recall seeing this behaviour during the beta testing although, to be...

Substance Painter is a specialist tool for 3D modellers to create textures for their models. It is not a 3D modelling tool: you need a 3D modelling tool such as 3DS Max, Maya or Blender as well. For Trainz purposes the basic workflow would be: 1. Create your 3D model in your 3D editor...

Why be organised? Most model makers will tell you that good organisation is essential for creating and managing your models. For a simple model you can probably get away with a single project folder but for complex assets such as traincars you need organisation such as a standard folder...

My CNJ840 loco consists of the following assets: 1. The loco body. The meshes for this are complete including the attachments such as doors, bell and moving windows. 2. The interior. The cab "shell" is complete but I need to create the piping, gauges, and some of the other bits you see in a...

This blog will chronicle my efforts in texturing one of my locos using the new Physically Based Rendered (PBR) materials that will be introduced with TRS18. My goal is to have the loco ready for TRS18 when that version of Trainz is released. During my journey, I will talk about tutorials I...

I have a few questions: Are we allowed to know who else is participating in TNI? Is collaboration allowed? For example, checking others' code (peer review) which might reduce the load on N3V. If collaboration is allowed, must we use the forum or can we privately e-mail each other? Questions...
