@Kimo505,
I kinda feel like you're sellin yourself short. Not saying you gotta do anything you don't really want to, but honestly, even if you only uploaded a few scenes here and there, Im sure people would like to use them as a starting place to create something..... What you've created is noteworthy to the point that people would like to see more of it. What form that takes is entirely up to you. But Don't knock yourself so much, you've done some really good work.

Question: How do you make the edges look round?
Ive been trying to make them but they overlap the track.

Digholes. Should be one inbuilt to TS12 called "AJS Dighole". Smite the ground where it overlaps the fascia edge.

 

[raffy2]

I know that. I am asking what kind of spline they use to make it blend in. I tried to use yours but It goes over the track and looks ugly. It still does look very nice.
Great job on the HD textures. I need to know how to use them like in Kimo's layout.

Regards,
Raphael.

Generally you run the fascia height lower than the track height. You also need to make sure you fix the vertex height of splines (yellow markers) so they don't trace the ground contour if your track is close to the fascia edge. If you want to start running the fascia edges higher than the track height you'll need to start getting creative with the way you use the splines and in most cases ensure the track is at least 20m away from the fascia to give texture splines room to be replaced with physical ground. Kimo likes to stretch the grounds of comfortable allowance in that respect. :hehe:

Only suggestion would be to get the grass off the tracks in the 1st picture.

Thanks mate. One more before I go to bed. Been experimenting with painted backdrops tonight. This is two backdrop scenes. The sky is the standard plain backdrop with a masked hill spline in front. No messy edges and no texture leftovers at the top of the mesh.

Sorry, found my answer.

Great backdrop, FSF!

Cheers

Maybe he likes grassy tracks, or the grass is between the tracks, and just looks that way ... IDK
Not all trackage is pristine, and not all areas are sprayed with weed killer ... My lawn sure is chock full of weeds !

 

[MeowRailroad]

I like overgrown tracks, but it doesn't make sense to have a random ribbon of grass cross the tracks. (The yard ladder, not the grass between the main tracks. The grass between the main tracks is nice.) It doesn't seem intentional, so I was pointing that out.

 

[FirstSoloFlight]

 

[raffy2]

@MeowRailroad It was not intentional.
After I took the screenshots I realized so I removed it. It started to annoy me .

If you look back in this thread, there are a lot of steel warehouse buildings that aren't on JR. Where can buildings like this be found? Also, where are some good small brick industrial buildings?

Got a few more shots of the progress on my Moonbrooke & Western...

0-8-8-0 #2000 passes the new Moonbrooke Station, based off of the C&NW's Racine Station.

A shot showing the main yard, coal tower, the distant roundhouse entry, and the parallel yard ladders.

A full shot of an incomplete Moonbrooke.

Also, i have a short request. I would love some suggestions on how to fill up all the empty space around the yard and roundhouse, especially what trees i should use. As you've noticed, i have chosen to make a full-fledged winter version though i may make more seasons later. Also, i do like the billboard trees, but with TANE rollin' around soon, i'd like to replace them with SpeedTwees, so are there any that look snowy or leafless? It'd be nice if someone could help me find some nice-lookin' SpeetTwees for winter.

Best Regards,

Look up xawery on the DLS

Oh, thank you, thank you. I was wondering about mentioning that they were mostly in his pics.
