- Thread starter steve123
- Start date
this came from a program called Google sketchup and another program called Ruby TMIX 1.0 which is and from one of our Trainz people user name ModelerMJ
a fellow only known as Cam uploaded the harbour bridge to google sketchup and from there i edited it
These models i have only edited and using RUBY TMIX 1.0 to place them into Trainz,
and i would like to thank ModelerMJ for his comitment and persistance to make Trainz far more enjoyable and constructive for all,

I have a feeling that there could be some payware coming out in the near future,
i would not like to interfere with that, as this person has given a lot to the Trainz community and asked for nothing in return and it has all been freeware.
So time will tell,what really is another month or 2,

I do not need the opera house but the coat hanger would be great on my sydney trams route
Hi Steve,
I have been looking at your route from the screenshots and videos you have posted on here.
All I can say is... WOW!! Especially the latest shots of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House.
Anyway, I was wondering if maybe I was able to test the route for you before/if you release it.
Thanks Cameron. (big fan of the Short North
).

"WOW" doesn't quite do it justice, but what wonderful pieces of work you have created Steve (when/if released
).
Absolutely spectacular :Y:

I look forward to this one... You'd have a tram depot on Bennelong Point instead of the Opera House?? And no Cahill Expressway of course... WOW.
My favourite Trams location is Brisbane.. (born and raised in the time of trams there).. NormP was doing this one but he may have given up. (hope not)

I for one would sincerely hope not!
I remember seeing this bridge on various royalty-free 3d mesh sites in the past. Reminds me of the same bridge Rjord had used on his Sydney City project that has fallen away to oblivion. It's not impossible to see how someone would be able to download this mesh from a particular CAD site such as; http://www.3dcadbrowser.com/preview.aspx?modelcode=8613 Oh yes, the opera house is there too.
A rather timeless and senseless effort of importing it in to Sketchup or any other 3d design program, resize it, add and cut away the necessary polys, whack a few textures on it and export to trainz to claim as their very own.
Well, the sad thing is there are many jumping on board this well known craze as it's really nothing new.
However, I feel sorry for the original creator as their countless hours of research, possibly days or even weeks to get the true scale to the nearest standards of perfection and the commitment of their work may be a total waste to others who do not have the knowlege or heart to learn 3d design from scratch.
That's another story!
A small part of 3dcadbrowsers policy states;
Use of downloaded materials
All of the downloadable 3D models available in 3D CAD Browser (3Dclub UK) catalog may be used free in your own or commercial projects. Downloaded 3D models may not be sold individually or provided for free to another parties.
Some make the mistake of interpreting the sites Terms of Agreement and Privacy Policy to suit themselves, so guys be extra cautious if the model is not your own.
Cheers!

The Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House that you see here will not be
payware, because as i stated in 2,3,or 4 post of this thread i downloaded it to sketch up and i only edited it and placed it in Trainz using RUBY1.0 and never did i state it was of my doing, as i stated it was by someone only know as Cam
IT WOULD HELP IF YOU READ THINGS PROPERLY CHUFFBUFF
The payware i reffered to was not mine but someone else,s

RubyTMIX is being released FREE to the Trainz community and may be used for any purpose, personal or commercial, within the following terms:
THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHOR BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR ITS USE.
If you don’t agree to these terms... don’t use the software.
Of somewhat greater importance is the way in which the Google SketchUp Terms Of Use apply to this tool. I have exchanged several e-mails with the correct person at Google regarding this, and the following list summarizes what we discussed.
1. The free edition of Google SketchUp may not be used for commercial purposes. This means that you cannot sell the models you create with the free edition – it does not mean you cannot use it to create models for the Trainz environment. What this boils down to is that the only acceptable way of distributing Trainz models created with the free edition of Google SketchUp is to post them on the Trainz DLS so that they are freely available to everyone (the need for a First-Class-Ticket not withstanding).
2. Payware items created for Trainz, e.g. routes, may reference models created with the free edition of Google SketchUp that have been posted on the DLS, but may not directly include any such models in the distributed payware package. This is (I believe) in line with the existing policies of N3V/Auran regarding the use of freeware within payware.
3. Materials, textures, components and Google Street View or Google Earth images that are accessible from within Google SketchUp or other Google products may be used in the creation of Trainz models. However, all such materials must remain part of the model and may not be separated from it for use in any other content creation tool. This means that, even though individual images that represent textures and photos may be accessible at various points in the export/import process, those images must remain part of the single object asset that is held in Trainz and cannot be re-used in any other non-SketchUp-produced asset.
4. Section 8.2 of the Google 3D Warehouse Terms of Service (which can be found at http://sketchup.google.com/intl/en/3dwh/tos.html) includes the statement “For the avoidance of doubt, you may modify, distribute, and create derivative works of Content uploaded by other users in 3D Warehouse.” I have interpreted this to mean that models can be downloaded from the Google 3D Warehouse, converted via RubyTMIX, and placed on the Trainz DLS in either altered or original unchanged form as desired. Proper etiquette dictates, of course, that the permission of the original author should be sought and that they (and the Google 3D Warehouse) should be named as the original sources.
In summary, I was told that nothing I intended to do required a special agreement with Google; therefore I feel safe in saying that we are allowed to use the free edition of Google SketchUp to produce content for Trainz as outlined above.
If you disagree with my assessment... don’t use the software.

Well Zec i would really like to know where i have been misleading,
in the second post to this thread i stated that i had only edited the harbour bridge, NOT BUILT IT
And in a later post repling to to another question of what was holding me back from uploading my route of Sydney to Gosford reffering to the north shore line
,and the reffering to someone else who might have payware and not wanting to damage them with my route
so how and where is this reffering to the harbour bridge being used as payware.
