What, BN never had U36s ?

 

[kamran]

even though its fictional its looking nice

Nice!
Here is mine in SketchUp:

Its a French built Alsthom used by the Greek Railways OSE

Wearsprada ..Thats a very detailed locomotive you have there .. Looks very 3D great Job

 

[BobCass]

Thanks John514..

Great job on that geep wearsprada. Where can your geeps be found?

Just a question, is 5000 pollys ok for a shelter?

You are using Sketchup arent you?
I think 5000 polys are too many for a shed. It is advised that you export from sktchup a COLLADA fil of your model and import it in blender.
That should trim the polygons down and THEN xport it to trainz. (I like the way of giving advice to others that I cant follow:hehe

Depends. If it's the top level of detail on a complex shape, with lots of modelled 3D detail then it may be ok (could even be more if necessary). If it's 5000 and looks like a flat textured box then no. Current versions of Trainz can handle high poly counts where necessary for detail seen close up, but I would think that LOD is essential if you've got that many polys in a building. Read the recent thread about LOD for loads of useful advice on this. The key thing is to model efficiently, with just enough polys to get the look you require, and to make use of features such as normal maps to give the effect of fine detail.

John514's suggestion about Sketchup - Collada - Blender is a good one- I'm currently exploring the potential of making basic block models of specific buildings in Sketchup using Google Earth to give scale footprints, then exporting to Collada and importing into Blender for fine control over polys, texturing, shading and detail.

Well my version of it anyways.
Cheers Mick.

AT&SF 9534-9546 became BNSF 5220-5222 U36CM but no B model units tho.

Ok, one 2048x2048 map. I think I can finally start the next schemes for real now. (This BN scheme is fictional for the loco type)

Nice shunter! What is it?

Nice shunter! What is it?

Special order for a (fictional) steel firm to haul steel coils from works to exchange sidings. Fitted with double cab. Now finished as far as I am able.
