Statue of Liberty

[jadebullet]

Just wondering, does anyone know if anyone has made the Statue of Liberty for Trainz? I need one for the route that I am working on.

You could always paste a scenery background image of her, on a backdrop.

Probably what I am going to do if noone has made her yet.

I was wondering when some one would model NYC in it's entirety. In reality, if you are close enough to see the her, it's gotta be interesting.

With all the DmDrake-Bronx-building prefab blocks, it would be easy to quickly populate the route with skycsrapers and such. (Oak Island Yard, Freightcar Ferries, Tunnels, Suspended Cable Car, Heliport ... )

There are some layouts by "NYOW2000" kuid id 57447. They are for "Trainz Service Pack 3" but worth a look.

If I eventually model NYC, it will be in the 1930s. As of right now though, I am freelance modeling the Jersey side of things.

There is a "Chrysler Building" (search under title) by Kilanziom.

Also, do a search using "wiezowce" (search under title) and there are some other NY City buildings... also by Kilanziom.

Also searched and found a couple of them (3d models) on TurboSquid but they cost $8-$12 ...

Another is on Lucky CG World ... (maybe free?) But it looks like a copy of the Turbosquid one! I think it is max format.. Good luck!

Google "Shorpy" (high def oldies), NYC, New York City, Blah blah blah...

I remember seeing POTA for the first time and asking myself " Hmm.....that could never REALLY happen........could it?"

With a government like ours it could be reality....:hehe:

I hope someone steps up to the plate and does this. It would look brilliant with a realistic nightmode.

Hi jadebullet,

do you think of something like:

BUT: This is only a 2D-backdrop as cascaderailroad suggested - no way to circle around, only usable for backgrounds.
It is easy to produce such backdrops with my "do-it-yourself-backdrop" - click below.

If you want it to check whether it is usable for you: send me a mail and I will send you the CDP-file. I think it is not appropriate for the DLS.

Yeah, nothing 2D is appropriate for the DLS, you'll be lucky if you aren't publicly castigated just for making it!

I think it's a fine job...now can you make a 'Clover field' version as well?:hehe:

 

[NewYorkCentral]

I'd love to see a 3-D Statue of Liberty.

 

[JimDep]

Sorry for my naive ignorance, why aren't 2D items appropriate for the DLS?

 

[jost62]

2D items can be helpful, if you use them appropriately. Have a look to http://www.ttbwrr.com/TTBWRR-Background_Tutorial-1.htm
David Drake ("dmdrake" for search on DLS) demonstrates a technique to easily multiply the visual effect of cities or forests near the edge of the baseboard by using 2D-items.
You even can circle with a ship the 2D Miss Liberty or lay a track through the 2D cities WHEN YOU AVOID that the camera looks "behind" the 2D item.

Ah just speaking from my own experience early on Jim, tongue in cheek and all that!
