Oh no! Not only has he been fixing sporbust content, but he's been breaking it again as well! And swapping out the turbos for explosives!! AND swapping EMD prime movers for alcos!!!!

Exceptional work!
Thank you! Baking is drawn freehand in Photoshop... actually this is no big deal once I have figured out the areas it has to be applied. The "fake" detail parts not modelled in 3D are much more time consuming.
Wow Felix! I know N8PHU had converted an RS-18u for Trainz, but I honestly thought you had made a completely new model just for the #186 (as in not a reskin).
Very very VERY impressive work, especially since you had no reskinnable model to work from.
You might have me hooked again! :hehe:
Keep up the great work.

Thanks Dave... that was the target!
To be honest I don't see a need at all for a new 3D model, and I like the challenge to get the maximum out of an existing one by reskinning.
If you ask me the majority of creators still spends too much time and effort in 3D modeling but doesn't care that much about texture work. The Trainz universe is full already of pretty high detailed models with almost uniform textures. But that's just my opinion... each creator shall do how he can best.
Thanks for telling me! I attempted baking it freehand, even though I think it came out nice, it's not nearly as good as yours! The baking really does make a difference.

While I believe that there is an importance to the model itself, I agree: The model is the canvas.... the devil is in the details! There are a lot of good "low quality" assets out there that can really shine (or not shine, depending on how weathered they are!) given enough attention to the texturing!!

Question, what is baking and how do you free hand it? Im interested now in this concept.

A couple of my reskinned leasers laying over in Oak Grove prior to an assignment.
