:cool: ...Please feel free to post your latest creative notions here, be-it 3DsMax, Blender, gmax, Google Sketchup, etc...

Also, please feel free to ask questions & comments about posts on this thread...just keep it on topic!

Thanks!

[Mr.Kamikaze]

This is not meant to be anything, I was just learning by trial and error on gmax. I got to this point and realised it looks a little like a mini class 50 :p

*EDIT*

This is as far i have got with this. I spent about 4hrs on it, learning all the way!

This locomotive typical of the later series of the very successful Re 4/4 II class has been released. But presently it is undergoing serious "corrective surgery" to portray the wide variety of sub-species still riding the Swiss rails - Cab pending

http://www.bushido.dk/payware/imagry/litra_my1101.jpg
DSB Litra MY 1101 - something for the GM fans.
This NOHAB portrays its original 1954 "off the assembly line" configuration. This model will be one of the most accurate ever presented in Trainz. It is built using original 1:10 NOHAB plans and extensive photo and tape measure research, which means all the little differences will be present as the individual locomotives are released.

http://www.bushido.dk/payware/imagry/mo08-032.jpg
Danish old style DMU - a true classic. Complete with interior - passenger and luggage/mail/freight compartments and Cab (pending). As with the Litra My the Mo 1800 too is made from original DSB plans supported by extensive photo and tape measure research.

WEN I'm not sure there's any need for that. I think that's actually quite a nice little shunter and to be 1) honest and 2) more positive, I think it's an improvement on Paul's (very numerous!) previous releases. Everyone has their own standards; some choose to create a lot of models in quick succession and release them all, others choose to spend months if not years on a model and never release it. It is up to each individual to choose what they do with their models and whether or not to charge for them. If people want models and are willing to pay then let them pay.

Anyway back on topic, not a render but that's what you get for using gmax and not having the willpower to install rendering plugins :D

Okay, I've cheated somewhat with this one. She's originally Barn700's payware model, though I'd purchased the gmax off him :)

I've basically been replacing few parts of the mesh, mainly concentrating on the textures, moving the rivets to the textures, etc.
The lighting effects are on the actual textures, I've been doing my best to get a realistic look.

Thanks again to Barn :)

Nice, but if you really had a budget of €120,000, then I'm sure one of the first things you'd do would be to buy something a bit more beefy, like 3dsmax or maya...


You haven't used Blender, have you? It can do everything those can do, as well as fluid simulation, soft bodies,etc. It has a built-in game/physics engine for recording physics or making full-fledged games. It also is more hotkey-based than other programs, making it much faster to model with. The built in raytracer can do very good renderings, and Yafray (Yet another free raytracer[included]) can do photorealistic (will make better example later) renderings:
http://i171.photobucket.com/albums/u300/do_not_eat/SuspensionBridge.jpg
It's free and open-source, and constantly developing. The latest version has digital sculpting tools as well.
(If I had a budget of €120,000, I'd go out and buy a better computer [Mac Pro - 8 cores now:eek:] to run Blender[and Trainz:D])

Nah, Blender is a fine modeling program (and we can agree exactly which ones are not :D)

Blender is a fine modeling program, however when weighing the options of which to learn, which is easier in the end, and which could be more useful in the future. I work with 3DS MAX. Sure the price tag is an issue, but college 3DS courses help a lot :D

[eldavo]

Be aware that GMax will not display your textures in all their glory. The resolution it uses is pretty low. Try exporting the model and taking a look in Trainz and you may find it looks fine.

Cheers
Dave

[jivebunny]

If you take a look in the preferences you can increase the resolution in gmax and have a general play about with the settings, however the textures will always look better in TRS than they do in gmax.

Just comparing those two pendos you can clearly see just how much work has gone into them (except that little bit of yellow - looks like a dodgy beard ;)).

There are plenty of other masterpieces in this thread too. :)

Good work,

Isn't that illegal?

[PVincent342]

gMax is free so there is no need for gMax codes. 3dsMax is payware however ;)

[GP_38-2]

Nope GMAX does need a code. Just email Turbosquid and they'll send you one.

Corris Locomotive no 1.
This is a small 2ft 3in gauge loco from the Corris Rly in Wales. It's depicted as originally built in 1868.

At the moment this is an MSTS project but, no doubt, some trainz NG fans will realise that with a certain amount of rebuilding this model will make the basis for another more famous loco on a nearby well known NG railway in Wales. This will certainly be released in Trainz format.

Cheers,

[Sparky123456]

Nice Corris loco Kev!

Rumour3, is Caligari Truespace some kind of architectural modelling programme? Any ideas where i can get a hold of it...I wouldn't mind looking into it...(It looks super!)

Cheers

Chris

[rumour3]

Hi Chris

Truespace was my first introduction to 3D modelling- I started using it at version 2 and at various points in time versions 3, 4 and (I think) 5 were given away free on magazine cover discs. It is a capable 3D modelling, rendering and animation package although the interface is quirky to say the least. I don't find the vertex or uvw editing tools anything like as easy as they are in gmax, but the rendering is pretty good. One of the things I didn't like about truespace is the fact that it doesn't regard selection (of an object, vertex or anything else) as a positive action- if you make a mistake when selecting a load of vertices you have to go back and start afresh (this may be different in later versions), whereas in gmax you can undo a selection. My Great Eastern signal box and station elevations were modelled and rendered in truespace and then used as textures for the gmax model. I might do the same with the Watlington station model if I can find the original file...:o

If you can get your hands on one of the free versions it's worth a look but the price for the full version 7.5 is now $595, which isn't too bad as professional 3D packages go, but a lot to spend if you don't get on with the interface.

[edit: you can buy truespace from http://www.caligari.com/]

Cheers

R3

[ZapperJet]

Very nice model Kev!

@ Sparky123456: Maybe this is just me but I would highly recommend Blender3D. (Unless, that is, if you are only looking at precision modeling)

Blender will export .3ds files to import into GMAX if needed (though I have yet to get it to work correctly).

Plus it's quite fun to work with! :D

Cheers,
John

[ZapperJet]

I'm still working on it, but when I import a .3ds file from Blender the scene comes out with 0 polygons total. I think it has something to do with the export options for Blender.

[Sparky123456]

Chris... Can i ask you something...

Hi affe. You need to create a false room around the object, preferably with curved edges. Then add a skylight to the scene. You then need to go to the render ing stage, and have a fiddle with the advanced lighting settings, until you find something that suits you. There are a few tutorials out there that will help, I'm using them :).

Now then...why did I choose such a difficult shape for this new car design......(All curves, awful to try and model).

Cheers

Chris

[jivebunny]

Couple from me - the mesh was originally made by jdtech who passed it onto Junior_B for completion, I'm just tidying it up and adding bits of detail to it. I've re-done a few areas such as the cab roof, the body sides and the rear gangway & exhaust, and have just added the handrails to the doors :)

For those wondering: Yes, they are based on a converted bus.

Partial rendering of a virtual "presentation base" to be used in some of the screen-savers and other eye-candy which should be available form the TMT website soon.

I enjoy playing with this kind of project as it gives me a chance to try-out new techniques that I probably wouldn't use much otherwise. In this case I'm keen to get some detail into the ballast texture and the weeds.

Why do people always re-invent the wheel? Simple. There's always some way to make it better. Just because we already have one doesn't mean it can't be made over.

Take this for instance (I posted this render a page or two back but it's been re-uploaded/improved)
http://trainkid4449.googlepages.com/GP40Hood.jpg
Ok as far as I know there are 2 GP40's available.
Norfolksouthern's GP40-2 (great model but nearly 23,000 polys)
Joram24's ex-payware GP40 (another great model but re-skins are limited and poly count is nearly 19,000)
Now mine, 5,487 polys, and plus I can add as many details/options as I want (and I'm not telling what this puppy has in store). I may be re-inventing the wheel but I'm making it smoother. :p

P.S. Norfolksouthern and Joram's models are great I have nothing against them.

Well congratulations to you, if you can make something better than another creator, go right ahead. Variety is the spice of life after all.

All I was doing was showing that there were some P32s already done, so Floridarailmaster can see where the bar is if the idea is to make something better. If someone wants to build something, I ain't stopping them...

I think I've figured out a new way to get gmax files into 3ds (at least I haven't seen it documented anywhere; it's not the quake gamepack method). It takes a while to setup the first time but after that it's a five-step process. It has its shortfalls like many things but as you can see the mesh is intact bar a few smoothing group issues.

Hi Mike

At risk of being sniped at again, the locos were built for TC as a favour for Lance as he asked me if I could do them. I'd not done a US diesel before (other than texturing one of prjindigo's NW2s), so it was a good challenge for me.

Mind you they were done in very short time frames, and I wanted to stick to the CCG guidelines fairly rigidly with poly counts, so hence I went all out on the texturing. I also tried to make them skin friendly, so if anyone wanted to do Amtrak Ph3 or 4, they could be done fairly easily (the NH and MN executive skins were done in only a couple of hours in Photoshop).

The bogies were done from photos and a couple of cruder line drawings, but I think they are OK. From what I can tell, they are not simply the normal P40/42 bogies, but have been modified somewhat (and not only just adding the third rail equipment). Have a look in the Trainz Classics thread if you want to see a couple of other screenies, or pick up a copy of TC to see them for real.

Good luck with your P32 and sing out if you need any pics as I have a heap.

Dear Tony, I'm sorry for snapping out at you, it was rude and inconsiderate, How ever the actions of what we call members of this forum in the past few years have been building up. Thanks my friends on this forum I got over it and was encouraged and pushed to continue what I love doing, modeling trains. I have been told by many people who have already gotten their copy of TC, that your model looks a lot better (they say it doesn’t look like an Auran model) hahaha. The fact that you made it easily re-skinable was very considerate and running them behind my p32s, or in a group at the yard will provide the variety and less stress on the computer that’s always helpful to make TC a better running simulator.

Hi Mike

It wasn't you, but one of your fellow USLW members. I see from your latest screenie you are still going on with your P32 which is great. Just a comment if I may, I don't think the front is quite that rounded looking at the prototype pics. It tends to be fairly straight from the radius joining the side to the front that then proceeds to the join in the centre as per below

Thanks tony, I kept seeing that and thinking to myself it looks odd, turns out that the front Edge is in the right spot but the fact that I chamferd those edges to the left and right of it to much, it makes it seem so round.

Naw, it's an E44. The E33 is still in the works. :D

Very nice work, especially for a first attempt.

However, I must point out one mistake that is quite often made so don't feel bad about it. Your cranks are at 180 degrees to each other, they should be 'quartered' that is 90 degrees/270 degrees between the two. The reason is simple. In real life, if a loco built like this stops with the coupling rods in line with the cylinders that loco would never start without being pushed.

I was SO concerned about it, and still got it wrong? :'(

I didn't understand WHAT you were trying to say above, (90/270 IS 180 degrees apart!) so I went to the Generals web page where she is in the museum, and WHAT DID I FIND?? You were CORRECT!! So I'll have to fix that too! Thank you for pointing that out. Will be corrected soon.

Well, I meant paint wise, the E33 saw Virginian and PC and later Conrail paints not just the NH paint.

*Jaw hits ground*

[jivebunny]

Unique in design, and able to produce a whopping 7,000kW (9,510hp), the Eurotunnel Class 9 (commonly referred to as "Le Shuttle") is the largest locomotive to ever operate in the UK and is of the most powerful in the world. Due to its size and unusual Bo-Bo-Bo wheel arrangement, it is restricted to operating on the Channel Tunnel infrastructure and cannot travel by rail outside of these areas. As the name suggests, these beasties haul frequent shuttle services at 100mph between England and France, transporting cars, motorbikes, coaches and heavy goods vehicles on purpose-built oversized transporters.

And I'm going to be bringing them to TRS :)

There are bits everywhere its a mess LOL

Interesting. All I can say is that it is a little short. Every loco in Lego is about 6 bricks tall starting at the wagon plate.

[S301]

Actually, that was a custom one I made for myself. It is based on a loco that actually runs on broad gauge, so to get it to look right I had to make it a little shorter :)

Backyard -

I build all of my models in 3DS Max. I then export the entire object into Gmax and then export it again into TRS. The process is a right royal pain in the you-know-what! That said, I've done it so often that I'm used to it now.

You will need the payware version of SketchUp to export .3Ds to GMAX and from there to Trainz.

But... as easy as SketchUp is to use I highly recommend you learn and use GMAX. It'll save you time, hair, and headache in the long run.

I know I will get flamed for this, but to be honest I ignore flames anymore

if your a route builder, and you need buildings, signs, and other static objects that have no speical features (sound, smoke, other effects) Sketchup can be helpful. there is an 800 Minute demo of the pro version that allows you to export. however the new version overwrites google sketchup, so unless you can hunt down an old version, your screwed

I spent months requesting an Island Station for my subway route, in the end, no one ever stepped forward, si using sketchup, i made exactly what i needed. I know all you "real" 3D modelers always try to say bad things to people that want to expermient with sketchup, but when i have to wait 5 months for something, and end up having to build it myself using a crappy 3D program just so it actually gets done, I will use whatever 3D program i frigging want, and you can lay off me for what my choice is

if you dont like it, dont download it, plain and simple
