It would be great to see a HQ SD-45,especially a high short hood version.

Hey, a litle somthing im working on, i just have one question,
i just have one question, , you see the korner in this picture ? its supose to look like it does on this loco, how di i get the korner rounded so it dont look like this ?
ther s a few things i would wanna have explained for me, first, how do i get windows and dors for the cab ?, the cab compartment is made out of two boxes fromed and put to gether, and the second, how do i animate the valve axles ?
Gmax is a modeling package only. There is no render function. If you want to render, grab a render engine like Kerkythia, export your scene from gmax as a .3ds, and import to the render engine.
Anyway, nice renders guys!
Cheers,
John
Ooh, that's nice. Great job.
What renderer are you using?

Not sure if this is towards me, but I just use the renderer built into 3dsmax.
Hi, Cozmo -
Yes, my question was aimed at you. The global illumination in the render looked rather nice and I assumed you'd used some other engine to create it.
Did you use the IES lights or just a simple Skylight?

A-ha! MR for "Mental Ray".
Mental Ray is a neat rendering engine but I've never really given it the attention it deserves. I always default to V-ray or Brazil r/s which is a probably a mistake...
Perch
how do i turn it in to #ds without disturbing so i can continiue building on it ?

One from me. Scene lighting and rendering is something I've been struggling with, so I'm quite proud of what I've got out of MR here. It took 15 mins to render though. Once I drop materials in, I fear the render time is going to shoot through the roof. Hopefully it's just my inexperience that's causing this... Maybe I've accidentally set something too high without realising it.
Here it is, anyway. Apologies for the funny aliasing around the windows. I've not yet finished modelling either and I need to sort out the backs of the chairs. The meshes look terrible.

The abbreviation of mr for Mental Ray had me stubbed for a long time too. It took me ages to Realise that the people at autodesk hadn't gone mad and tried to give lights peoples' names.

Oh, I'm sure in these days of equality, if there was an MR Light then there would no-doubt be a MRS Light 3 paces behind.

Two more from me:
Try playing with the MR daylight time system, maybe using early morn or later afternoon to soften the scene lighting , will not affect your render times but can be used to disguise the low res meshes for trainz with some nifty shadows for your final RTT pass.
