Hi folks,
Progress continues on Queensland 2008. This is showing the area between Grandchester and Kaolin, a lot of swamp land through there as well as the meatworks. I'll be showing screenies of the meatworks another time, but in some shots you will see the entrance from the main line.
Grandchester now has a footy team to support and they regularly attend all their home games.
A mozzie breeding ground...
People can stop in for a few brews here...
I'd like to live here
Look for trains

Some piccies of the Stephensons PB15 I've been working on, Keep in mind this is my first loco, and I haven't figured out how to use textures.....
Thats 2 & 1/2 days work gone into that so far using a diagram in a book measuring parts back and Forth with a compass set and a ruler.

I've uploaded them and they are waiting approval by Auran. The items are very basic but should add a slight CityRail/Sydney feel to your stations.
3.5m and 5.0m versions are uploaded.
Off Topic - I can't believe my previous content uploads (3 years ago) have both had over 8500 downloads.

I was waiting for you to speak up ghosty, I need some one with some experience to help me export it into Trainz..........
possibly even to do it for me.......
Its taken me 3 years to work Gmax out and I don't want to spend another 3 working out how to export the thing.

I'll keep a look out for them. Thanks Deadly. Is there any chance you can make a Countrylink sign from your CityRail sign.
Regards,
Warren.
I found a sign on the DLS for countrylink... Just search countrylink in the description bar...Not sure if it looks the same i haven't seen deadlys one yet.
exporting a model to trs
open the scene(model) select file/ export a window will appear for you to navigate to custom/trains in trs.
when you get to the required folder create a new folder with the name of what you are exporting, then open that folder and create another folder called "loco_body", open that folder and in the open window there is a place to save the filename as"filename.im" ( call it whatever you want) type that in and press save. You have just exported the mesh. Now in gmax click on the tab with the hammer on it, select resource collector a window will open where you will see the mesh files and all the texture.txt files click on use path. then scroll down a little to where you will see "begin" click that you have just exported your textures.
if you get error mesages while exporting the mesh saying textures were not mapped to a part of the mesh, take note of which part and then select that part and apply a uvw modifier and re export the mesh, there may be several of these errors so dont freak. for shadow files when you have setup the folder just copy/ paste the.im file from loco_body into the shadow folder and name it whatever it is named in the config. remember all the file names should be reflected accurately in the config or it wont show
all that needs to be done now is for you to go to trs and write config etc. the best way to get the hang of this for all the different types of structures you can export is to look at what has gone before you for folder layout and structure.
I've done this from the top of my head, so if you have more queries flick me a mail
cheers

Good Explination Pete.....
But I do it slightly different
I dont use resource collector I already have the texture files in a named folder ready to be copied into trainz (world/custom/trains if in 04) I always get a model going in 04 before I wory about 06 all that CMP rubbish .....and I Have nothing selected?
Hurleyco things to remember you will have to export in 3 pieces loco&att points front and drive bogeys and animation seperatly ....DONT EXPORT GROUPED ANIMATION!! the respective bodeys will have to be recentered after fitting realy you will need 3 scenes and export through Trainz Assett Creation Studio Hurleyco I'm impressed after 3 yrs fighting the Dots and Polys Lol it looks good Post here or email any questions you might have
