I was bored. US Coast Guard C-130 Hercules

If it doesn't have textures applied, you'll likely need to UVWMap the model so it knows which part of the texture goes to which part of the model.

Look at Phil Campbell's GMAX loco tutorial - http://www.worldoftrainz.com/Pages/Tutorials_TRS2006/GmaxLocomotiveTutTRS.htm

And good luck!!

thanks. i'll look into it. have you ever imported a model to a .im file and when you opened the .im file a bunch of pieces of the model seem to be missing? sorry for all the questions by the way.

 

[seeseeme]

yeah i actually stumbled on your post today. nice stuff! I'm gonna download all if them for sure. any idea when the A-10 will be released?

Not to sure about the A-10 as he has been playing with some extra scripting for it. The others though I think are basically finished, though I know he has also had computer problems.

Hopefully we will see something very soon.

@ Curtis, that helicopter looks great, is that for Trainz at all or from another game. Certainly would be a welcomed addition to any Air Field and as I am an Aussie the Australian markings would be excellent :hehe:

Make sure you don't have any parts selected in GMAX when you do the export - if you do, only that part will be exported. Did you get any errors or warnings when you did the export?

@Craig,
The models were developed for a different game I worked on for a couple years. It's been on my back burner for some time now to get those models into Trainz. I've done several so far - my steam schooners, pin-connected truss bridge and concrete road bridge all debuted in that game. The LCT and Patton tank I have on the DLS are both also from that game; the LCT is my model but another's texture, while the tank is someone else's work entirely.
I'll try to get at least those two Hueys cleaned up and on the DLS shortly. Driveable versions and versions with weaponry will likely take longer.

In a feeble attempt to get this thread back on topic, it would be nice to see some of these in Coast Guard textures

Lol, yeah i definitely got off topic. I tried to get that blackhawk type helo i found into Coast Guard colors but its all tiled. I know theres got to be a way to do a repaint on items that are tiled with only a couple textures but I just don't know how to do it. I don't think the USCG ever used Hueys, I'm not sure about Australia but who says repaints have to be prototypical right?

Thanks Curtis, that would be great if it can be converted to Trainz standards (without breaking any copyright stuff :hehe.

It does look an excellent model and to have a static and flying version would be absolutely great. A few weapons like Vulcan has been working on with his A10 would look amazing, may be ask him to use his Gatling gun

Great paint job!!

Ish:wave:

Here's my newest C-130 repaint. United States Navy. Pics are a little blurry because I have the video settings on low due to the fact I only have an ATI Radeon HD 2400. I plan on doing about 2 or so more different reskins so I'll post pics when I'm done.

 

[n8phu]

Nice, I want all of the reskins,I see a Joint Reserve base in a future route...

 

[NAmenta]

Lol, thats kind of what I'm working on in my route right now.

 

[NAmenta]

My newest one. U.S. Marines Blue Angels C-130. The nose is supposed to be yellow but when I paint it yellow the landing gear also turns yellow. I don't know of any way around it.

 

[Pencil42]

Looking very nice!!

Curtis

 

[NAmenta]

Thanks. I just did a Camo one but I kinda rushed on it. I'll post pics soon. I'l like to do a couple more but I need some ideas.

 

[seeseeme]

I love the repaints, they look great. While I am from Australia I would like to see some in Australian colors but I am not sure where to find them. This is not a real problem though as I have other military aircraft from around the world and have a thought of a type of "Air Show" with aircraft from different countries there. With of course a large railway station to handle all the visitors :hehe:

I am also doing a similar thing with different railways from around the world, collecting the best samples from different countries for a railway "museum" type set up.

Anything in Aussie colors though would be much appreciated. I will try and find something but I am not sure how well I will go.

Many thanks,

Craig

Thanks! I found a few pics online of some RAAF C-130s. I'll do that next.

 

[seeseeme]

Great work, I looked on the forum and the original creator last posted in February 2009 so I am not sure how you will go finding him/her. May be a post on the Germany forum will find someone who is in contact with them.

Craig

 

[NAmenta]

Yeah, I sent an email to him too. I just hope enough people on there speak English because I don't know any German.

 

[NAmenta]

So here's the RAAF model. Similar to the layout on my navy model so it didn't take long for me to do. I just really hope I can upload all these!

Here's the U.S. Camo version I did. I don't quite like how it came out though.

 

[seeseeme]

The Aussie one came out well, quite like that. The US Camo one seems to bright to me but then I have not seen any photos recently of one so I am not even sure of the color they may use.

I just downloaded Dino's C-130 and there is not even a licence there. I know there has been talk of this sort of situation in the past when there is no licence mentioned and from memory you still need permission to upload the item. Later on I will try and find some of the threads about this point and see what they say again.

Is that a B52 in the background of these screenshots?

Craig

 

[NAmenta]

OK, let me know what you find out. Which C-130 are you talking about? I can't find it on the DLS. Yeah its a B-52 i converted into Trainz with Gmax but I'm horrible with UV mapping so its just camo, No other details
