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
Casper
