Nature Screenshots! (BIG and NUMEROUS pictures!)

[Retro00064]

Very true. At least David Drake's Tall Trees series (or at least the "Perfect" higher-poly sub-series) is being updated to TS2010, so therefore you would not lose control of your trees completely with that taking place.

Your screenshots ought to be enough to teach some users that you do not need TS2010 to achieve making the prototypical route down to the ity-bity details; TRS2004 is just as capable and has not died yet!

Regards.

IMHO trainzers must take into account that billboarded greenery is built up entirely with photo-realistic textures -as Casper states above- and that gives a special taste of 1:1 life. Leaf close-up can be magnificent on TooMuchSpeedies, but at a certain distance they tend to become bulked and featureless. IMO.

The other day some of us were 'nagging' at Jan (Jankvis) friendlily

:hehe: for telling us that his wonderful billboarded greenery was good for the far distance, which prompted me to show him this...

...covered with one of his splines on a T10 scene. At the middle distance you can see a mixture of billboards and TooMuchSpeedies.

:hehe: No more far distance commentary from him... Good old Viking Jan.

The billboarded side of Alberte :wave:

By the way, Casper, where did you get those cow models? They look so realistic, and the varierty of poses is great. Hopefully, they are not on the DLS, how ever.

Thanks.

Thanks.

Try user name "Dinorios Redundicus" he has quite a few on the DLS.

Dinorius_Redundicus is the correct spelling if you are to do a DLS search.

He's made much more than just cows.

My advice - get the lot. Deane is one of the masters of the art who has moved (moooved!) the Trainz sim forwards, probably as much as, if not more than, a lot of the software changes.

I'm always immeasurably grateful to Deane and his fellow contributors.


Cheers

Better post a screenshot, lest we end up like many other SS threads with 10+ chat posts between pix .

Another one from my Italian route. Apologies for placing a train in the Nature thread. No speedtreez though!

Hello Dave,

Thank you for your brief but very inspirational comment - from one of the greatly admired masters of the art of asset creation too!

Your trees, IMHO, are amongst the top three groups which I love to use for landscaping work in my Surveyor routes – UK , Central Europe “various”, and Italy . No Mediterranean route should be without those great stone pines and poplars, and the DHR washing lines of yours!

The asset creators deserve huge credit for the enjoyment of this simulator. I am so pleased that I was able to discover Trainz, purely by chance, two and a half years ago.

There would have been satisfaction enough in building with what came packaged with the game. The ability to download from what was a constant stream of new assets transformed it into an immense pleasure.

To all of the great creators, have a virtual beer on me.

I’ve left one on the wall!

Cheers
Casper

Super pics, everyone. I often find building the scenery more absorbing than running trains. I often get out and go for a walk...

Beer bottle ... what beer bottle?

The shadows from the bottle and glass are a really nice touch Casper. I can't think of any shadow objects that small, but at the same time, I know you are against photoshopping screenshots (apart from speech bubbles!), so I'm curious as to how you got that effect.
