Hello Every One, My Name is Ahmed, and I am from Pakistan. Guys I am new to this forum this is my first post. Any way, I am playing the train Simulator 2012. I want to re texture one of its locomotives according to the Railway of my Country, I already have prepared the texture files for it And I also have 3ds max ready for it, only thing I wanna know is the process required for re texturing the locomotives...? please help me ... Guys My mission is to make my own locomotive for Trainz like this....As shown in Image. Adtranz AGE 30 engine of Pakistan.

I would appreciate any possible help..

First, welcome to an exiting world of Train Simulation :wave:.

Unless you have access to the locomotive's mesh file, you do not need 3DS Max for a reskin. What you do (general description here) you use the locomotive's texture map(s) and repaint these. Often, this is very hard to achieve, depending how the author of this asset did the UVW mapping. Trial and error will tell you when you modify in a paint program these texture(s).

Some autors of locomotive sometimes will release undecorated texture maps of locomotives which one can paint to a colour scheme one would like. There the reskinning is a bit easier.

You also need to register your TS12, so you can take advantage that registered users have here.

Cheers

I'd like to welcome you to Trainz, and to the forums, but there's that little matter of the registration....

Ok Kami Bhai, great pics. any way, If I can not create my own locomotive cuz it is very hard to do, so is there any way to Edit any locomotive? like you've done, looks like you have edited the texture of CHN ND5-1 locomotive to Pakistan Railway textures? am I right? So any way Kamran bhai, I want you to help me making the AGE 30 engine with me... I don't even have started its work...

well i only know reskinning but i dont know how to create 3d modelsyes you can edit any locomotives but you can only use it for yourself unless you have permission of original author to distribute your workand there isnt any locomotive yet that resembles our locomotives
