Northern Arizona Route

Thanks for the comments. I’m glad that distant texture thing was helpful.

Deane, I like the idea of any special effects. I’m not sure what’s technically involved in what your thinking of but it sounds like it could have a lot of potential.

Ed, the Turkey Vulture would be great. I’ve also wanted some coyotes for this route. I think some more western US animals would be useful to many route builders.

I sure would Ed. I can't count how many times I've seen Turkey Vultures in Southwest Missouri. Circling their subject high against the sky.

Okay guys, I'll see what time I have this weekend. Thanks for the input.
 
Good Lord GNdome55,stunning, intimidating and inspiring are the words that come to mind.

I have been spending the last three months learning and playing with content and routes from others. My desire is to build the route through the Cajon Pass starting in Colton and going through the High Desert (Calif.) to Barstow. I have the route pasted together from aerial shots. But I have to laugh because I did all that yet I could not even figure out how to expand the baseboard in surveyor last night:o.

Your work is inspirational but boy to I have allot to figure out:D

Thanks for sharing

You figure out how to expand it yet?

Yes I did, found a post from someone with same brain jam I had and it had a score of helpful responses. ( I was one the right track you just can't be zoomed out very far soon as I zoomed in, poof.. ) Thanks for asking

Thanks John, most of what I’ve learned in Trainz has been working on this route. My process is so different now than when I started this route in January. The best way to learn is to just get in surveyor and start building. It’s sounds like your more prepared than I was for starting a route.

Surfing the Kaibab limestone cliffs of Canyon Diablo is really not a good idea. One; it’s very dangerous and two; the rocks will tear the hell out of the surfboard!

 
It is a nice bridge, no? Thanks to Ben for it's construction! It's amazing that all those girders look exactly right in the sun. I assume the person and the horse are part of the search and rescue group looking for the surfer? Here's a hint....she's down at the bottom somewhere!
Nice shot Gordon.
 
Thanks Ed, yes the bridge retexturing that Ben did was exactly the look I wanted. I hope I’m not posting too many of the bridge. I wanted to get some shots from this side of the bridge. It’s been a fun part of the route to work on. I’m still not quite done with it. As far as the surfer girl, she’s all right. She’s hanging out with the Navajo bungee jumping club off to the side. They’re waiting for the train to pass before the next jump.

Boy, does that look good! You must be glad to be out of the desert for awhile. The mountains came out very well.
 
Perfect as always ! Very very impressive !

Truly beautiful image. A work of art.

Keep up the good work Gordon.;)

Kind Regards Frédo.
 
Thanks for the comments; this is a practice area for trees and scenery leading into the Flagstaff area. On my actual route I still have a ways to go to Flagstaff but I’m getting closer. I’m looking forwards to the gradual change from desert vegetation to more pines.
Gordon
 
Wow. Now THAT is how to use scenery boulders!
I didn't think the gray granite ones would fit into the Arizona color scheme, but you've make them look quite natural in that rocky outcrop.
