This is a statement. :hehe:IBerTrainZ creators will keep doing assets their best. If these fit TS2009, right, if not, bad luck.
The stating side of Alberte :wave:
Do ordinary content makers have a place in trainz?

And a fine and noble statement.

Well one of the topics of conversation yesterday at our trainz user group met and eat was very much about this. It was reported that even some of the better producers of what could be classed as the cream of Aussie content producers are struggling to meet the new Auran requirments
There is a new trend that Auran is not even going to invest any money themself on new content production and the commuinty are now going to have to do it all themself.
So yes there is room for ever content maker, we now need them more than ever.

It's hardly a new trend, it's been like this since TRS2004 (i.e. since about 2003). I must say I don't really see what the problem is - to be honest GMax wasn't that great for creating content and the alternatives are much better. I guess it's the fear of learning something new that is putting people off.

I took a couple of years to get reasonable at gmax, and blender is gobbldegook to me, although I've found 3d canvas more understandable.
I think I haven't enough life left to learn another programme, and anyway it's the scripting that I have more trouble with.
So I suppose the things I'm doing will only be of interest to those without 09, but they'll be available anyway (eventually).
Something that strikes me about the drive for better looking content is the emphasis on amateur builders to deliver, and they won't even look at the the one thing that (to me anyway) could really improve the graphics and frame rates i.e. the alpha sorting, or lack of it.

That's not any different to getting a mesh into TRS2004/6, except for generating a normal map which does not need to be done if you don't want to. In Blender that is easy anyway once you have found out how to do it.
To answer the original question there seems to be a perception that there are 'advanced' content creaters who somehow magically achieve this status - we all started off knowing nothing about content creation, it's just that some people are more interested it it than others and get further because they spend more time doing it.
There's nothing wrong with not having the time or inclination to do this and anything that is produced and uploaded has a use for somebody, somewhere.
