[wridenour]

Hi,
I'm using trs2006 and I wanted to start creating content(especialy Locomotives) for it...well,where do I start?
I know I need Gmax but where do I go to get it?
I'd just like some advice.

I'd start of by going to WorldofTrainz really easy to go by. I made a High Hooded unit today and lost it.:'(

Thanks I'll definatly use those tutorials but where can I get Gmax?

This is only my personal biased opinion, but I suggest you learn Blender 3D (www.blender.org), as it is likely to be the next step in content creation for Trainz. But I'm not the advocate for Blender2Trainz (if that's what they call it), you should talk to johnwhelan about that.

Cheerio,
John

My mistake, try www.blender.org

The brackets threw it off.

The Trainz wikibook is a fairly reasonable place to start. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Trainz

I'd suggest Blender rather than GMAX it supports more TRS2009 features and I think is a little easier to learn. There are some very good beginner video tutorials.

I'd suggest 3ds max 10, its compatible with trs2009 and available free if you know where to look. The torrent download is legal if you already own a copy. Ignorance is bliss.

Around $3,000- $5,000 for a legal copy.
