Nature Screenshots! (BIG and NUMEROUS pictures!)

@joosten

Hi Roy.

You are very kind with your comments, although I’m not convinced that they are that well deserved.

There are plenty way ahead of me. There are so many great talents here, including your own.

I suppose having the time to experiment and develop techniques aids progress. Adding some self taught composition methods to supplement the few years of art studies at school more than 50 years ago helps a bit as well.

I still think that the assets creators are the ones who make the task so easy. You don’t need to paint a house, or anything else, from scratch if someone else has already done it for you.

At the end of the day all I do is move them around a bit, ever mindful that every asset and texture, animal, vegetable or mineral, has been created by someone else, not me. However, it is nice to try to position and show off all of the pieces to display them at their best when setting up a composed camera view; it is often the most rewarding part of the process getting things in the right setting with the best lighting, sky and weather.

I wonder how many skilled Trainzers are there who have never posted their efforts as screenshots? I reckon there must be some really stunning stuff out there that would be really great to see.

Cheers

Exactly! I just had a look, and theres 475,435 members of the trainz community, I bet 1/3 of them don't even know the forums exist. i didnt for about 4 years haha. Anyway, great shots everyone! :)
 
Casper and Scratchy we concutr fully your posts

@Casper and Scratchy,:sleep: just wake up late today normally 5:00 and see your nice comments and thoughts about the undiscovered many talents out there. Ning and I just talked about it and you we not hear in a long time and started the forum and see when you step on the devil's tail it moves haha:hehe: here you are.
You and i are same a like with enough sense and feeling for the right composition and camera position (most important). i was lukcy to be born with a grandfather who was professsional photograher and had a big shop so did his children and my mam was an avid photographer and well one so some genes where past on for sure.
I and Ning are thrilled many times to see so many content out there of outstanding quality and look and feel its more than eye candy. We are more than proud to showcase them in our routes our settings.
Many people also don't know what it takes to make a good setting and picture as most time go into camera position daytime and than of course choose from the many shots you took but anyway we both concur we have the easy part(who said easy part :o?? no way!) and construct the podium/scene route (only 4 years for last route)..... It's like show casing an Aston Martin in a nice setting and people applaud for...............the car, the setting, both?:confused: lol

Keep them coming and preach the trainz hobby as one of the most anti alzheimer, and hmmmm...... forgot:hehe::hehe: the other one already so not really working what i say:p

warmest regards,

Ning n Roy:D
 
Desert Scene..

Bob, almost there but your blurred/streched sand/rock texture ruins the partie on the right. Dean's rocks do very well and the grass left n right perfect change the ground texture to a uniform one or with rock high quality(mean high res for ts12) and play with scale low and high top see results but when work with textures always use the radius lowest to avoid visible borders and rotate blend like you would do a painting and use a brush tip to just touch sort of.

warmest regards (from the desert:hehe:)

Thanks Roy, you have a good eye..Well it is warming up down here and we live in the Sonorian Desert Arizona..The humitity is only 2-3% on average..It got up pretty warm to day around 90 degrees Faranhiet(SP)..During the real hot summer Days it averages 112-115..
 
Bob.... holy (bleep)... might be your best shot as of yet. Roy's got a point and with that it would be perfect. Those rocks are somethin else! As far as heat - I'm just north of you in the Mojave desert, we've been in the 90's all week and lookin at 100+ degrees this weekend - bout time the heat came, I was freezing :)

Thanks Bob, glad you not take it wrong but really on a regular basis i see not only you people have a texture kind of low res and or teared/strechted and sad that not look good. Always watch when you have steep drops also drops over a few yards same height go to F1 and carefully choose drop down just little bits at a time to make it look irregular and see how the detail of long strechted textures becomes more clear and good lookin and the terrain in much better shape.
Here the hot season started already with high humidity and rain will bring some relieve but still 2 month of bad sticky feeling than better again and oct winter starts till next year april yeaahhh.
Have a good one. BTW the sonora desert should be a dry heat so like you said 2-3% humidity where we have up to 90% or more which feels like a warm towel slapped around the body. Can't have it all all year:wave:
