Content Creation

[RailSimulator]

Hey everyone,
I'm very new to content creation and i have found a program (Blender ExTrainz) which from what I've heard is the right one to go with, however my lack of experience with content creation has left me scratching my head over it. so if anyone who has experience with content creation could help me out that would be of great help to me.

Kindest Regards,
RailSimulator

Hi
I am messing about with a little content creation, my thoughts so far.
Stick to Blender, I believe it is much easier to work with than gmax.
Have a look at http://www.gryllus.net/Blender/3D.html
This site has some very short video tutorials which will get you up and running with the latest version in no time.

Once you can find your way around, have a look at Paul Hobbs' website,
http://www.44090digitalmodels.co.uk/
About the best Trainz tutorials you will find.

I am by no means an expert, haven't created anything I consider good enough to upload yet, but I do believe I'm getting there. My advice would be to take it slow and enjoy it. Good luck.
Geoff

Takes you in steps to create in Blender. Uses 2.49b though as does Paul Hobbs tutorials.

Hey John,

I've been gone for a while working with blender. I know U use Blender a quite a bit. Found a site while searching for tutorials called www.cgcookie.com
They cover tutorials for both 3d max and Blender. Greate site.

Anyway, Now I'm back to the Trainz and going to give it another go, now that I feel more easy running Blender 2.6.
