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

Alex you've done a fantastic job modeling that and especially texturing it. Bravo sir, bravo.

Wearsprada, that engine looks great! Trainz is in need of some good looking geeps, and you my friend take the prize. Well done, keep it up. :D

Some new VR 60lb Broad Gauge track that I'm working on. Shows all length and LOD variants that will be in the spline :)

Kenworth Project

Hallo,

some progress from my Kenworth Project which will result in a set of several scenery and drivable and seasonal trucks.
Still I would like to get some more detailed information about the dimensiones. Especially about the overall height and the nose height - just if anybody knows something :)

Your's TUME

Not sure about the heights, and I'm not sure if you are going off of a photo of some sorts, so I'm shooting from the hip here: the older trucks I have driven (oldest being a 70-80ish KW) typically have the fuel tanks on the frame under the cab, with the steps attached to the straps that secure the tanks. You will have a battery box frame mounted on the driver side between the fuel tanks and the front drive axle, conveniently located so as a blown tire will destroy the battery box (voice of experience). Check your reference material, because you may be right for what you are modeling, but this is what I have run across. I'm driving a 2013 Freightliner now, and the new FL's have the tanks moved back where they are on your model and the batteries are under the cab on one side, while the new exhaust system is on the other.

Hope this helps you.

Where what is mounted and how many of what, (fuel tanks, battery box, utility box, exhaust pipes, air cleaners...) depends on who speced the truck out and who has owned it through the years. Quite often an owner/company will alter their trucks due to changing laws, currant contracts for hauling goods, personal preferences, fuel efficiency, environment their equipment will be working in, ect... I've seen just about every configuration you can think of for those items being attached to a truck and many modifications that no one in their right mind would do except for a specialized application. Overall tume's truck looks good. Looks to be a early to mid 60's.

slabay. Try duel fuel tanks right in front of the drive tires and have a blowout. When I was still driving one of the guys I worked with once had a blown tire rip the end dome off his fuel tank. Of course it was a full tank of fuel too. I think I'd rather have the battery box go.

Here I go again (now) on the rails.
After several unsuccessful attempts , some progress are appearing ... one of my meshes it's rolling along the tracks finally.
There is work ahead, adjust textures, adding details and refining others, make windows ... but it's alive!
The bogeys are respective yours , loading 7000 polys each .

Here is my baby :

Hi Zec,
Very nice.
I am assuming you are using 3DSMax? If so, what do you use to get the files into Trainz please? I am thinking of upgrading from Gmax but it is said oh so often on the forum that it is not possible to Export into Trainz.
