GMax and 3DSMax (And any other modeling program) screenies/renders

Part 1 of a side project of mine :)
Amtrak Bi-level Lounge


Coach will be part 2 ;)

Never knew I could do this much in 30 min, but still got so much to do
Can someone tell me how to show these off better?

Put a light source over it and apply a texture onto it before you render it, perhaps? That ought to help bring out the shadows and give you a little more contrast between the interior and exterior through the window cutouts.
 
The Southern GP35s with Blombergs were mostly inherited from the C of G. There was also a couple of wrecks rebuilt with them as well. There's probably no more than seven of them out of the 70+ Southern owned. Even then it's not THAT big of a deal since the Frisco was pretty much the only the other sizable line that didn't use Blombergs as far as I know. It's an awful lot of work to make new trucks for what has to be less than 1/5th of GP35s produced. At the end of the day there's nothing stopping the end user from replacing them with Type B trucks if it is that big of a deal.

Also that tobacco car is awesome. I'd hate to be the one trying to negotiate a curve with one of them.

Frisco definitely used Blombergs, are you thinking of GM&O? But yes its not a big deal, I'll just slap a pair of Justins Blombergs under there when they are released as you said.

So you don't have the mesh? Ok then, Just suggesting to make people happy. (They are on Dash-2 Trucks and you changed those out on the first run.)

I'm sorry for causing a flame war. I just thought that Socalwb909 was aiming for prototypical models based off the DRGW & and Ex-WP units for the UP.
I can easily swap the trucks out on my own if he doesn't put them on.\

Also, Nice Southern tobacco car BLueNeon, are you making other southern equipment as well?
 
Ok, I may have at least some inaccuracies in this, don't hate me :o
