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

Dear Tony, I'm sorry for snapping out at you, it was rude and inconsiderate,

Hi Mike

It wasn't you, but one of your fellow USLW members. I see from your latest screenie you are still going on with your P32 which is great. Just a comment if I may, I don't think the front is quite that rounded looking at the prototype pics. It tends to be fairly straight from the radius joining the side to the front that then proceeds to the join in the centre as per below

Cheers
Tony

Thanks tony, I kept seeing that and thinking to myself it looks odd, turns out that the front Edge is in the right spot but the fact that I chamferd those edges to the left and right of it to much, it makes it seem so round.

Now the pain will be to fix it haha

thanks very much

I wasn't trying to snap ither, however re-read your posts. you very much imply a rude comment. I' sorry if it sounded hot-headed (it's been one of THOSE weeks if you know what I mean).

P.S. even more updates seem all here http://trainkid4449.googlepages.com/3dmodeling

@Floridarailmaster, you might want to check the size of the wiper blades: They're going to be covering more than the windows once you animate them.

Here's a render I did in about 6 hours:

It's based on Myst.

No, the modeling and lighting took about 5 hours, the total render time (tests, previews, etc) was about 1 hour total. The final render time was about 10 seconds

Phew! That's what I hoped you'd say!



Which modelling/rendering system are you using?

My computer ain't that slow

I used Blender 3D and the Blender internal Ray-Tracer.

The image was then edited to include glow and contrast using Blender's compositor.

Here's a render I did today in about 4 hours. You can tell my favorite thing to do in Blender is make pipes

Just thought I would throw my two cents in. Took me quite awhile to get it the way I wanted it. This was my first attempt at anything in Gmax. (Well, the tender was actually first, but I really learned a LOT from doing the engine!)

Very nice work, especially for a first attempt.

However, I must point out one mistake that is quite often made so don't feel bad about it. Your cranks are at 180 degrees to each other, they should be 'quartered' that is 90 degrees/270 degrees between the two. The reason is simple. In real life, if a loco built like this stops with the coupling rods in line with the cylinders that loco would never start without being pushed.

I was SO concerned about it, and still got it wrong? :'(

I didn't understand WHAT you were trying to say above, (90/270 IS 180 degrees apart!) so I went to the Generals web page where she is in the museum, and WHAT DID I FIND?? You were CORRECT!! So I'll have to fix that too! Thank you for pointing that out. Will be corrected soon.

Very nice, are you going to do an EF4 (E33) for us New Haven fans as well?
